Hey guys, I am travelling up to the whitsundays at the end of the month and looking to do a bit of GT fishing. I am hoping to get a rod under 400 for some smaller action. Most of the fishing will be landbased but we will have a yacht we can fizh around the islands with. From the range i have seen in a few of my local tackle shop, i have basically narrowed my options down to the followi g:
Daiwa Monster mesh max $200
Daiwa demon blood $299
Shimano terez 78H $299
Daiwa saltiga 80tn $399- which is what i am leaning towards...
If you have used any of these rodz or could recommend some others, it would be greatly appreciated.
Cheers,
Dim

Shoot me a PM if you are interested.

Just remember all Terez rods are one piece and therefore useless if traveling.
$200 bucks for the monster mesh max is very cheap in the popper rod.
Saltiga is always going to be the best.
Have a look at shimano ocea series of rods as well.
