Caranx kaibatsu, 8406 model will do both. Very nice rod, the guy on TM is selling both this and the heavier one or $499 new, which is a bargain.

ill be after gts sid, mostly landbased too but going on a charter too so theres a heap of different options, hoping to have a crack at a yfin on a stickbait too but we'll see. 

I would go with the Kaibutsu Long Cast.  I have one and it works great.  At the risk of being ridiculed, I really don't see a huge need for 2 separate rods for popping and stickbaiting.  I have never had a problem getting fish with a stickbait on a popper rod, but I have had problems working poppers with a soft tipped rod.

Agree with Wanabe, I'd choose an Offshore Illusion over a Caranax. Great 100% carbon CTS NZ made blanks, NZ built rod, cheaper and better IMHO.

Pretty cheap considering all stated, cheaper than the caranax quoted above. Sure you may get good deal through your work on mass produced factory rods, but look at what you get for cheaper. Those CTS blanks are the goods.

Milan sure gave some good demos of what those demon bloods can deal to on his 'Big angry Fish' tv series. I'd treat yourself to something better than those backbreakers,  I mean backbones.
