Rod recommendation
Guys I am after some advice.
I am looking to buy a shorter bream rod to fish tight structure, docks, jettys etc.
All of my rods are 7ft and longer. I am thinking of 2-4 kg rod between 6'2 to 6'5 maybe. light weight but ballsy enough to pull out a good fish if I am lucky to hook one
I am thinking up to $200 at this stage. Fire away your favourite "shorty" and I'll have a closer look at them.

Thank you in advance.

PS: Fan boys and sponsored / field anglers unbiased opinion will be considered as well

Not sure if you have seen this Alex

Marginally over budget and maybe a bit light.

Forgot to mention the rod will be predominantly used for fishing with light weighted plastics and atomic semihards.. So should be of a fast action but not superfast like loomis dsr 820
cheers

The 6' Nitro Vapor will haul bream out of structure very easily.

Its super light and crisp but just a little over your 200 buck budget.

Ive tried several different rods and its the vapors that i keep picking up!

The Humble T-Curve 691 ( dont quote the numbers ) 2-4kg is short and has plenty of power I love my 7ft rods , but this little rod has always had a spot in the rack.

I believe these are pretty good - a bit shorter than what you requested but have plenty of balls to pull fish out of structure:
