I have the terez 15 - 30 lb 7 ft matched with a stradic fj 5000 and is certainly my go to combo either boat or land based. Was using it a couple of weeks ago on 6 kg salmon from the boat. The stradic 5000 is the same as the 4000 just a bigger spool.

My mate snapped his and I was at a tackle store when another was being returned for the same problem. The snap occurred whilst fighting a sambo and was a clean snap between the second and third guides.

2 models
There are 2 models of 15-30lb keep in mind, 1 with a longer thicker butt and skeleton reel seat the other with ur smaller spin rod handle same length from memory 7"2', 1 was a medium heavy and the smaller was fast heavy?.. something along those lines, abbreviation is stamped on the blank. I got the larger model for boat fishing as it gives more leverage. Wasnt amazing at casting and found u needed some extra wieght to get some distance with it even then its like 20 - 30 metres, very stiff rod. Been good easily handled 60+cm pinks. I havent used the smaller one but i imagine thats what ur after for best of both worlds.

To add some more weight to
To add some more weight to the rod snapping issue, my Terez also snapped when hooking a fish. It snapped in half even before any significant load was brought to it. Speachless.
However prior to that landed some great sails, spanish macs etc and it was a great pelagic rod, although i dont think very suited to demersals. They dont have enough guts when you want to stop something big from reefing you.
My opinion anyway
