I came across this rod in Anaconda today
Clearly it would work well for bream, but I reckon it would also suit whiting, calamari and a bunch of freshwater species as well.
It's the Atomic Arrowz Bream Crank AAS-70BC Spin 2pc 7' 1-5lb, retailing for around $120.

Re: What's your opinion of this rod?
The bream crank has a fairly slow taper. Designed for rolling cranks for yellowfin bream. If you're looking for an allrounder or plastics outfit I would look towards the lightest of the estuary series they do or the bream surface.
The rods themselves are pretty good value, Fuji components on a majorcraft blank

Why do you think your Atomic Estuary would be no good for squid? Too stiff?
