Re: match rod advice
how much you willing to spend... one of the best value for money has to be the salt range for shakespeare...
I use a Anyfish Anywhere Surf for alot of my comps.. but we fish a lot of clean beaches and deal with lighter fish..

Re: match rod advice
Only 1 option in my opinion for a match rod, zziplex HSM. It has a great tip, bit of poke in the butt when needed and its 13.5 ft.

Re: match rod advice
forget all this stuff about zziplex, and try a triplex 
great bite detection even at distance

Bigballs has a zziplex up for grabs at right money but i dont know if it will suit your style of fishing,
Have to agree with "John 1" though,
The Triplex is a wicked tool and its action saved me losing my PB Bass which was very lightly hooked in a good surf,
Couldnt believe i got the Bass in when i seen the little bit of skin that the hook had gripped.
