and then we head to the mid price range of things... i use my wilson 4120 10'8 rod and then it is matched with a diawa emcast 6500 sport... spooled with 30lb platypus mono.this is my go to rod for alot of bigger fish. have caught mullies from ards jetty with it,have surfaced and stopped the BIG black ray there aswell with this, sambos over the west coast, heading over to salties in 2 weeks with a few fellas from here so will be interesting to see how she goes if i do get onto a decent fish...i also have a 12ft uglystick gold with a penn spinnfisher 850 and thats spooled with 30lb mono aswell..
