Well it was too good a deal to just let go so I ordered it. Cortez 12 on a Okuma Braid Concepts 400 rod. So I guess when it turns up I'll try it out and post a review...
Never been jigging so not sure how good I can review a combo lol  but will give it a go.... now just need to find some decent kingies to hook up on.... Audies here I come.

Hmm things to think about then from your point of view. I like the Okuma range and being a middle man (can't afford the top end stuff) but this setup spooled is coming in round the $600 mark... for me thats like gold lol, in the US market it seems to have good reviews but thats for bass....
Is Okuma really that bad? .. I mean I'm a mechanic and good tools I know about but I didn't think Okuma was a XU1 lol
My soft bait setup is Okuma as with my cut bait boat rods and all pull good fish when there on.
Dam... wish ya spoke up early on so as I don't feel like I waisted a whole bunch of money....

Just out of interest mate who did you order your combo through. I just found the same combo on www.fullonfishing.co.nz but the 10 size reel for $399.

Yea thats about right the combo plus $100 for 600m 80lb braid and then theres 8 jigs 100g through to 300g, pliers and leader and a few other bits and pieces

Yea I'm more a weekend warrior lol I have me own boat and can make the same pins/fishing grounds EPIC find their good catches but it will be only mediun use.
Cheers for the input tho
