One rod you can have a look at is the shimano sephia au i think there around that price bracket

and for the reel the shimano nasci will do the job but i would go down one size like a 2500 you dont

need 3000 size for squid fishing and for the amount of line you use for landbase no more than 80 metre's

that reel would have plenty that's why alot of squid reel's run shallow spool's.

shimano sephia au looks good and fits my budget.





For the reel, I might look for a shallow spool which is compatible to my reel.



So what size of braid lines do eging fishos use most commonly ?



And squid jig size ?? Is it 2.5 ?



I'm just after most basic setup to start the whole thing...



Thanks.
