Sounds like a bargin mate. I have a 1-3 kg stick and have pulled plenty of flathead and bream with it. Im familar with the reel but someone should be able to help you out.

G'day,

I've got a 7ft sic stic in the 1 - 3kg range and find it a great rod. Have caught trevs, bream and flatties so it hasn't been given a tough workout, but it has handled all fish to date well and is comfortable to use.

I got mine for $100 so you sound like you've scored a good deal. Are you sure you don't want to splurge on a schmick reel? Go on, you know you want to...Daiwa caldia kix, capricorn are nice reels around $200- 250.

Brought a 6'6" 2-4 rod one last week paid just on $100 for the rod - put a shimano sedona 1500 fb on that i had lying around.

Feels balanced - havent had a chance to use it yet apart from practice casting.

IMO if you are going to look at the above reels , have a look at the tierra priced at round 200 aus is very good value with digigear and supercedes the above reels... here's a review if interested

While everyone is comparing their sic sticks (could say something else there but won't) I also got one recently off user monk here on the forums, a 7ft 2-4 sic stick pro for $85 (looks brand new) and love it! Bloody bargain I reckon. Adding a Plfueger Criterion reel off 'another' forum for $50 and it makes a nice cheap half decent combo.
