Best all rounder rod and reel?

[Mattblack]

i would suggest a 7 foot, 3-7kg rod and a 2500/3000 sized reel if you want something that can do it all.
you can bait fish with this, as well as use lures to a certain extent, spin for salmon, catch pinkies and even small mulloway.
using this on a surf beachs however is not going to work very well.

ideally a bait outfit and a lure outfit would be two different setups without any doubt.

Yep....I agree with this logic (and get a 2 piece for ease of transport/storage)

Just get your self something in the 9' range, with a 4500 reel, maybe one of those light graphite combo's & some good terminal tackle.. You should be alright to give most things a go & once you figure out what you enjoy/need you begin to add..

Buy a surfspin. 9 foot 6-10ish kg and a 4000 sized spin reel.

I love a 7-8' rod depending on what youll be targeting most with a little 2500 or 4000 Shimano Aernos reel, those things are versatile dynamite! And have a 10 year warranty and come with 2 spools so u are virtually getting 2 reels for the price of 1.

Cheers,
