Flats rod suggestions

[seanh]

I have a Shimano Soare 2500 on layby and have decided to put it onto a longer rod to use for flats fishing. So far I've checked out the Nitro Distance Spin and the Daiwa Black Label . Both are 7'6 . The Daiwa has a crisper action .
I'm looking at a 2-4kg rod with a budget of up to $300.
Does anyone have any other suggestions on what would be a good rod to get for around $300 ?

my brother has a 7'2" Raider, and believe it or not it will outcast my TSR with the same reel and same lure. its a weapon for the flats.

The 7'6 Daiwa tournament specialist Bream is a weapon on the flats, I picked one up for $320 from my local.
I fish 3lb fluro through it and it cast great

The Loomis GL2 7' 6'' is a nice rod. Havent fished with any of the other rods mention so I cant really compare it to them. It was my flat rods before I upgraded.

I ended up getting something completely different. I got a Tairyo nano speed 7 foot 2-4 kg. it's got sic K guides on it and felt pretty good with the reel on it so I went with that.

I would go with Red Rocket on this one, great value for money, and little better than the Black label.

Is that the one with the black Eva split butt. Would like to hear how it goes had my eye on them for a while, seem to have a lot of guts down low for their rating though a touch heavy.

I thought it was a little heavy at first but with the reel on it felt pretty good. It's got a fair bit of grunt in it. Will see how it goes. It does have split grips too.

Lox 7ft6 1-3kg or black label 7ft6 they both great rods mate, but i would go for Lox and save $30 for lures or line maybe
