Recomendations for mid sized setup

[rpolivnick]

Still new to fishing, Been fishing for 6 months and really getting into it.

I am well and truley in the process of getting kitted out. (isnt it fun !!)

I need a mid sized rod n rheel setup.

Mostly used for casting bait, catching kings, jewies, salmon ect. Land (jetties) and boat use. (not beach or rocks)

will probabley run around a 40lb braid line?

to give you an idea

My small setup is a shimano stradic CI4 2500F on a ballistix pro 2-4kg with 6lb braid & 15lb braid on a spare spool.

My big setup is a ryobi 5000A safari on a studwick sickstick 6-10kg running 60lb braid.

So as you can see i need somthing in the middle.

Price range is around $500 all up.

Please help with suggestions.

For larger kings the 6-10 kg is the mid setup. Fine for rats up to 80cmany thing bigger hang on. Any good 4000 size reel on a snaper stick will be ok. 4-6 kg t curve and a 4000 stradic with 30lb braid should be about $450. In between but I think this combo will delete the ryobi one as it's is more versatile.

Hi, if this were me I'd put the ryobi reel on a new 15-24kg rod like a live fibre or something then get a 4000 reel and 30lb braid to put on the strudwick rod.60lb braid is alot to run through a 10kg stick
