Thank you so much, this really provides some good direction. I meant to respond sooner, but then seeing other responses come in, I decided to take some time to digest all this information and research a bit more. @ellicat, I'm afraid you are right about that collection... it will be hard to find that magic wand for everything. To your third pick the light 10'3, I spoke with someone this morning fishing a 5-9kg (7-45gr) 9ft rod and the way he described being bossed around by the local GT's made me decide that I want it slightly heavier rod for the fish's wellbeing and the amount of tackle I would donate to the reef. It would be a great Tailor rod though! Considering the advice and options given by @Rebel, @AUS-BNE-FISHO and @mangajack I am trying to understand how the 9'0ft PE2-4 would compare to the 10'9 PE 1.0-2.5? Would there be too much overlap between the two? Or are they two entirely different rods? I am looking at the Daiwa Overthere (10'9) and Saltist hyper PE2-4 to be specific, whilst not disregarding the other options mentioned. Ultimately, I think I will encounter or even target the bigger fish and wish I had picked the PE2-4, I am trying to understand what the best approach would be if I want to build a quiver. I realised this morning that fishing off the rocks requires just a different approach i.e. different quiver of rods. Ps I have a 5000XG Stradic spooled with 20lb to pair it with, or 2500BG MQ with 8lb for light beach work. Again, many thanks!

Hi all, First time poster here after reading much good information from this forum. I hope you may be able to help me out with deciding on the correct weight (kg or PE) class of my next rod. Recently I have been spinfishing with slugs, stickbait and poppers around the rocky headlands of SEQ more often with my 7'6 5-10kg TD Black, but after coming short of a bust-up several times, I think I am giving in and looking for a longer rod. The rods recommended to me differ from a 10'3 rated at PE0.8-2.0 (7-45gr), a 10'9 rated at PE1.0-2.5 (15-60gr) and a 9'0 PE2-4 (20-70gr). 1. Aside from the Longtail bust-ups, what size of fish will I find here? 2. What casting weight is best for those fish? I would appreciate some direction to not buy too light or too heavy of a rod. Thank you in advance! #Edit for clarity
