Hi all.

I'm keen to do some topwater fishing. Based in Timaru so the kingies here arnt huge and the bottom I sand. Will go to jacksons and peg bay a few times. But certainly done need a set to go to three kings ect.
Have a young family so very poor currently.
I have a Daiwa Catalina 5000 reel on my jig rod which I plan to dual purpose.
Looking to keep it under $300 for a rod.
Looked at the
TiCa tuna star 802
"        Hodlum 902
Shimano backbone elite
Okuma tournament concept x

What other options are there.

Cheers
Rob
