Thanks callum

Water zombie is a nice stick but if you want something faster i use EX AGS Ajing. Light but powerful and only 62grams.

Personally I havnt used the specialist bream but havnt heard a bad word about them.

The Tairyo Black Arrow in the 2-4lb cant be beat. Just an excellent Rod, and I use it just for that reason. Caught some great fish, having to stop them just at my feet around the Docklands.

I run a 6'6" Samurai 101. Weighed in at 90gm. Lots of fun to chase estuary species with when the snapper aren't biting.

The TNSB 1-2kg is a cracker of a rod. Buy one and you won't regret it.

Mine has sentimental value. Landed my first legal lured bream on it, and 2 years on it has caught hundreds of bream up to 37cm (my PB) around pontoons. Not to mention the Australian Salmon it has caught too. Love it so much. The trout-like action is perfect for hards.
