Daiwa and Shimano finess sizes

[Breambo1]

Well, whilst I was at the glenelg I lost my Aernos 1000fa and T-Curve rev 1-3kg, so I am looking for a new set up. But, I want a 12' Luvias, 11' Caldia, 13' Aegis or maybe a gekka bijin mx. The smallest I can get is 2004h. What is that equivalent to in a shimano? 1000 or 2000. Want it for breaming and trouting mainly, and other bits and pieces. Any other suggestions for under $260 with the postage included? (These are from Japan. Being 15 I can't afford Aussie prices)
Will also need a rod. Looking at the SAMAKI zing 6'9 2-6lb($175) or a Gen Black in the same sort of size($140). Which is better, and once again, is there a better option for under $180? Brands don't bother me, as long as it isn't a J.W
Cheers, B1.

Caldia 2004 - sells for about $220 on digitaka. great little bream reel imo.

U wont go wrong with a gen Black Rods, great value and very crisp blanks. The Zing is also a great rod but the lighter gen blacks will be better at throwing ultra light stuf.
Also have a look at the Green Arrows, very under rated rod. I have 2 now and love em to bits, I picked mine up for $120 each

Nice! Where can I get them for $120? Any Adelaide retailers?

for extra $80 or so you could get the luvias rather than the calida. If you prefer shimano get the sustain but its a but pricier than the luvias.
