Any thoughts is 30lb braid way to much for this rod i cant find anything that will take mor e but still casts well Also what peoples thoughts on a 5000 stradic running 30lb braid??

Ok after lots of looking the best i can come up with is shimano raider 2 pce 5-8kg snapper 7"6 Shimano Stradic 5000 20 to 30lb braid Do u think i can run this heavy a braid on this rod Wattos tackle has said he has a nice rod to look at but i ahvent been able to get there yet as im in maitland i will stop in there this sun So can anybody think of a better combo for general lure throwing , bait fishn plus still being usable when i ghet hme from darwin for jew and snapper etc ??

1. Shimano Raider series 2. Berkely dropshot series (8-10kg), or 3. Wilson livefibre rods (although these may only come in a 1 piece, not sure). Does anyone no if the dropshot comes in two piece ?? this would be ideal as i have a couple of dropshots in 2 to 5 kg and they seem good for the dollaras Mondo its my 1st trip so i lookn forward to it i no i everyone use baitcasters i have nether used before plus if im spenden 400 bucks i feel ill get more use outa threadlines back hme also do u use a guide and any RECOMENDATIONS im havn a hard time picking a charter unfourtunaly iCan only afford a full day charter for me and the girl as well as a day chasing black jew and a day in darwin harbour in the boat of a friend of a friend the rest of the time we will be boatless

Im headn to darwin in april we will b in kakadu and doen a barra charter im lookn for a 2 pce rod to run a threadline on with say 20lb braid sumthing that will flick lures from the bank /boat handle a bit of live baiting etc and also be usefull when i return for flickn kings and jew im backpacking so im limited to 2 rods and i already have a lighter rod i was thinkn about runninga 4000 caldia kix or 5000 stradic im not lookn to spend heaps as whatever i decide on i need two one for me one for the mrs so anyone got any ideas
