There was a 9’ Sienna combo going cheap from BCF recently, that’d be a good start for something entry level.

I have a Samaki Zing 9'0" 20-60g cast weight.

Good allrounder if you wanna cast up to 60g. There is a lighter one up to 45g if you like smaller lures better...

Faster taper. Have caught plenty of salmon and a couple of kings on it...

Can't say a bad thing about it.

yep, cannot go past this current offer superb value for under $100 for a rod and reel
The 9 foot model would suit the task perfectly!! bonus of a 4k sienna reel as well

How much do you want to spend?

The sienna combo is excellent value. Anything 9 foot, fairly stiff casting around 50g will do.

I have a 903 Assassin Amia Zero which is one of the nicest rods i've ever used. A whole heap of us were using the old Coastal revolution as well.

Popular, maybe. but are they any good? I mean if I was sponsored by said company of course I'd recommend their product.
