What is the toughest, lightest, exy'est rod!!!

Hi guys,
Just would like to know something, what is the strongest as in it's a 2-4kg but it will go 6-8kg, also what is the lightest rod you have come across and still looks exy. and not from hearing about it but from experience!

Strong, light and exy, all these qualities in one rod and under $200 give or take a few.

I feel the need to upgrade to a top quality rod at an affordable price because I'm currently using a shakespeare synergy II combo and it is just not cutting it at the moment.

Thanks guys.

You don't want much hey?? lol

Under $200 I haven't got many ideas but a Steez Tornado is what I would recommend. I have one and love it. Shauno had one up for sale pretty cheap.

That is what I was leaning towards but just wanted to know if it was really strong. Is the 4-8lb the light one and is it whippy/stiff or just right.

and if possible what reel for it.
Still looking at other rods though

Thanks.

What are you fishing for?, What pound line are you using? I don't know how a bream would snap a rod.

For bream, flathead, whiting, BIG mullet in winter and just anything you can catch up my way and to keep them from getting back to a snag.

The reason for the strength is I just want something that will make the fight of the fish spectacular, you know not a rod that is like an ugly stick that just absorbes the fight! and the lightness for obvious reasons

The line i will be running is 3-4lb or 6lb braid with a 4lb fluoro leader.

Thanks.

Haha You could buy the best rod available right now at any price and it will never last a life time.

Pflueger Supreme is a nice rod. Maybe a LOX Snapper SP. Good all round rod also.

Why do you want a really strong rod to make the fight more spectacular?? Wouldnt you be trying to go as light as possible? I know I would.

maby, but i didn't say i wanted it to be a stiff rod I said a strong and light one meaning a light actioned one that is really strong and feather light (metaphorically).

Not an arguement reply
