I have a couple of Avet sx's on custom rods for my 3 kg trolling rods. They cost well under 500 per combo. Could run 4kg ok and maybe 6 but the spools flex too much with more than a couple of kg's of drag.
+1 for the avets. Ive got a few avets (sx, jx) and have never had an issue. Just dont overfvil the spool as the line can ride up and go into the gearing but Ive only had this once in 5 years x 6 reels so not a biggy.
Yeah I was looking at the tyrnos, was thinking it was a bit heavy. The daiwa saltist ld look alright. Mainly trying for mackies and tuna in the metro and kalbarri end of the year.

Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

If you can stretch your budget but it will cost you over $500 for a combo.
