The "moderate" action of Seabass is a bonus - planning to use this as a light bait / lure setup. Also have a 8'3" squid rod which is really light and crisp - will be used exclusively for lures to 25g and squid... Most of my fishing is done on a yak, so this is my light beach / rock pair for when I don't have my yak

8-12kg rod for chasing squid? I guess squid wouldn't know haha Think I'll settle for the Seabass 96ML for now - if I start getting into the surf side of things, will get a bit more "serious" ie Sandstorm with a suitable reel.

Hi, I'm new here, from Melb. Hoping to see general consensus and comparison on two light surf rods (or if you wish to suggest others). Looking at either Daiwa SeaBass 96ML 4-8kg 35g cast and Shimano Maikuro II 9" 6-8kg. This one is rated to 75g cast - not sure how? Basically a Med-light for flicking SP / metal and some bait as well. Already have a 385g Fin-Nor LT40 reel so thinking balance is a factor too. Any input is appreciated, thanks :)
