Hi Everyone,
I am new to the Fishwrecked Forum but have enjoyed reading all the posts about the great fishing in WA.
I am looking at buying a new medium spinning rod and reel combo. This combo would be used for both shore and boat fishing and fished to max PE3. After researching a number of models and manufacturers I have settled on a T Curve Barra Flats 782 with a Twin Power 5000. However I am keen to hear others reports on both the rod and reel as well as recommendations for similar equipment.
Cheers,
Matt

The length is a bit of a compromise for casting distance from the shore and will also be using it for Long tails etc up north. Does make it a little difficult when fighting fish close to the boat though.
Thanks for the input.

personally I'd go the T-Curve snapper spin or the T-Curve saltwater 5-10kg spin with the Twinpower. Slightly shorter but awesome rods that will still cast a mile.
