I’ve got a Zenaq Sonio 100M which is a beautiful rod to use and would recommend to anyone looking for something to yeet slugs.
Maybe give us an idea of your budget…

Daiwa Seabass or Abu Garcia Veritas is around that price I think.

Good post mate, perfect timing with the buzz around salmon!
I'm looking to pick up something similar and was learning towards something with a longer butt and wrap.
Penn Allegiance II is currently what I'm considering, ~$110-120,
ROD LENGTH: 9'
NUMBER OF PIECES: 2
ROD POWER: Medium Light
LINE RATING: 8-12kg
LURE RATING: 20-70g
Thoughts?

I am hoping to get one a bit lighter, the Veritas looks good as does the Catana. I am currently using a Rovex 8'6 Egi rod because it is light and strong enough to handle decent fish, I wiil have a look over the next few days and see what I come up with

All good mate, it's hard to know sometimes thats for sure!
One that I am also considering is the Daiwa Arid 20 AIRD-X 902MFS so I can still do plastics and metals
Spin 2 9'0"/274cm Medium Fast 14-45g 5-9kg 15669 $109.00
Is that more like it?
