For this application we use TLD 20 30lb Fireline and 8-10kg rods. Terminal tackle to suit specific applications.

Allows you to catch most species that come along anything from a flathead to snapper to a 20kg plus gummy.

if your only fishing PPB mate, then watch the bcf catalouge sales and buy the combos they have on specials, anything in a 4-7kg with a 4000 sized shimano reel or 3000/4000 sized daiwa reel will do .

The generally have few shimano outfits in that range for $99 - $130

Blake,
The 4-8 kg rod u have is perfect for snapper and flatties in the bay. u can use that for bait or plastic work as well. Team it with a 4000 sienna and 25lb braid and you're set.

This is perfect for what your doing - tbh, almost anything would be fine for your requirements. If you hook into a big snapper you are going to want to have a reel with decent drag, but it doesnt need to be anything overly expensive.

One thing to consider is butt length, if you're sticking it into snapper racks, make sure you get something that has a little bit of length to the butt, or its a pain in the ass.
