I have caught tiny flatties like that before on a bait jig.

Normally I would love anything DIY and don't get me wrong these do look pretty good but can't you get the standard collapsible traps for like $5? Only $2-3 off ebay if I remember right. Have you had issues these types of traps to warrant making your own?

I had the same problem Angus in Kedron Brook. Spotted many big tillies but wouldn't take my bait.

16' is massive. I've used a 13' for many years now. I'm a little bloke and I can outcast a lot of people, especially the big blokes with their big rods. Unless you really know what you're doing and find the 16' comfortable, I would recommend the 14' one. It may be shorter but you'll be able to give it a lot more oomph than the longer model.
You also mentioned about the long butt. If it's a wooden butt, then the length is easily sorted there. The few surf rods that I have owned, I have cut and drilled out the standard wodden butt and whipped up a longer one on the lathe out of a spade handle. As I got more experienced (and bigger and stronger) in casting, the longer butt gave me the ability to put a lot more power into my casting.
Anyway, that's my 2 cents worth. Good luck in your choice.

You should get on to a few mackies. Just find a beacon and start casting those slugs, while you drop a pillie or livie to the bottom.
Once you get one drop him down for a sharky. That's what we did when I went out with Kurt.
