will the 40lb j-thread mono leader be any good ?

20lb shimano kairiki for the murray? not very clear water, was consistently casting near the bank near the trees/logs last time i was there but have since been advised to cast in the middle but i'll be trying both!

Copy that. I’ll pick up some 20lb braid for the baitcaster, what brand do you recommend with a high abrasion resistance?
-
do you reckon the 5ft 6' is going to be annoyingly short? apparently the reel is great so would consider swapping it to a 6-7ft rod

Cheers all for the suggestions! spent a bit too much at compleat angler yesterday; I ended up picking up a eurocor rod (pics attached) and paired it with a shimano nasci 2500. The rod felt nice and light in the hand, if anyones heard anything about eurocor i'd love some feedback if they're meant to be any good. Also ordered this https://hottackle.com.au/product/deal-4-barra-cod-baitcast-combo/ as i'm heading to the murray next week - hopefully goes alright for cod! What weight of braid should i put on the baitcaster? IMG_4197.HEICIMG_4197.HEICIMG_4197.HEICIMG_4196.HEIC

@ellicat i picked up one of these about a month ago but haven't had a chance to use it much because i've only been in freshwater with small game since. its the 7ft 4-8kg (4000 reel) so i could keep using that as my heavier rod? not sure if they are considered to be any good with lures but I know its graphite so on the lighter side. I'm keen to replace and ditch the telescopic so i'd be inclined to get a smaller 2-5kg that is great with lures https://www.bcf.com.au/p/shimano-sienna-hd-spinning-combo/M562771.html

@ellicat honestly In the bay i'm keen to catch anything big enough to keep, i know that doesn't help much but most of my bay fishing (primarily offshore in rosebud in the boat) i've just caught small flathead that i've gotta throw back (really frustrating) however i've only done bait fishing in the bay but keen to start using lures as well! Have never tried a baitcaster! @mangajack sounds like its worth me getting a heavier 6-10kg rod specifically for cod fishing (and also out in the bay?) and then buying a good 2-4kg for trout in freshwater locations. Shimano sedona combo any good? i'm aware the reels in the combo's are usually not great hence why its probably worth just getting rod/reel separate.

What reel would you pair them with?

Hey guys, this is a broad question and I'm sure it gets asked lots; i've currently been using a cheap 6ft telescopic rod/reel combo with spinners/hard plastics/ I need recommendations on a new rod to use for lure fishing. ideally very versatile, I go to the Murray, lake Eildon and out in the bay. I'm thinking 2-4kg and 7ft, looked at the ugly stik gold 2 but after researching it looks like i can do better if i want a rod specifically for lures. Graphite rod ideally? Shimano raiders look alright, just want some suggestions on good new setups/deals on at the moment and whether its worth buying rod/reel separately or better value getting a combo. I'm happy to spend up to $250!
