I got one of the new stradic 5000s and I am looking for a rod to pair it with. The reel will have 30lb braid and will be used for throwing larger artificials for bull reds, big snook, jacks etc. But I will also use it to live bait occasionally for all the same species. Basically looking for a good inlet/nearshore rod. I want the rod to be lite and not overpower the smaller reel but still fairly capable to achieve what I want.
I usually stick to St. Croix and Gloms but I am open to all brands.
