Spin reel and rod for Barra
In a couple of months I am taking the wife and the kids on the big lap arround oz, and I have decided to purchase a Cartopper tinny to make the most of the fishing opportunities. I have a couple of bigger outfits that I am planning on taking, saltiga 4500 on a saltiga Pe 4 jigging rod and Daiwa Catalina 5000H on a saltiga s-extreme 76 game.
I need some suggestions for a spin rod and reel in the Pe 1.5 /2 class that would suitable for flicking lures up north for Barra and other spiecies that I am likely to encounter. As you can probably tell I am a daiwa fan but open to ther suggestions. I am trying to avoid baitcaster reels/rods as I am hopeless at using them.
As for budget I would like to get the rod reel combo for 500 to 700$.
looking forward to your responses.

One of my favourite lure
One of my favourite lure flicking setups is a 3500 Daiwa tierra on a eupro salty fighter rod. Caught plenty of big Barra on it.
Does anyone know where the love of god goes, when the waves turn the minutes to hours?

Shimano Thunnus 4000
Ive caught some pretty solid fish on my 'wifes' Thunnus 4000. And its got the bonus feature of the baitrunner. Nice light reel. Worth a look. And Ive got it paired with a Azusa Spin 4-8kg or Shimano Raider 4-8kg spin.
Cant fish from home...

Thanks guys for your recommendations.
i am purely looking for a lure flicking set up and might be able to up the budget a little if that means getting nice light and reliable reel on a good rod.

Any thoughts on Daiwa
Any thoughts on Daiwa Certate 3000? Or would I need the 3500?

+1 for the baitrunners .
+1 for the baitrunners . Thunnus 4000 with 20lb is a great lure flicker with the added ability to live bait

Dropped by my local Compleat
Dropped by my local Compleat Angler store today to have a look at a few reels and rods in person and picked up the discontinued Daiwa Certate 3000 at a nice discount as it was the last one they had in stock.
Now still looking for rods to match that reel and some nice Pe 1.5 braid....

I use a dropshot G Loomis
I use a dropshot G Loomis with recoils with my 3000 certate and absolutely love it..but it's a one piece and a pain to take anywhere so I recently purchased a nitro viper 2 piece and its the rod I choose most of the time these days, thoroughly recommended.
