It's hard togo past a Shimano Baitrunner reel in either 3500,4500or 6500 size for the big fishies. Great from the boat or the beach. The 4500 size is the best all rounder RRP is $265.00 from Shimano. Also the Penn Liveliner is quite good RRP 229.00.
Then you need the rod

thanks guys and Narada..

baitrunner is tempting.. as it could be a nice dual use reel.

this is my current setup

a) beach fishing - i have a 12ft jarvis walker combo that got me started and does a reasonable job.. but its not harder to get nicer on these kind of rods..

b) Boat gear - I have 2 rods and reels - 1 saratoga snapper rod 6ft and a cheapish but nice running overhead reel (first boat rod kit to get me going) and i have a nice better rod a bargain at $30 from anaconda instead of rrp of $269, and mid sized shakespeare overhead reel. im guessing you can never have too many boat rods

i generally boat fish more

so i generally seem to prefer overhead reels for boat fishing as i generally dont troll or use lures or plastics.. thats not to say i wont tho..

i get broken quite frequently from the boat.. mainly rays.. but there is something else maybe shark or samson that runs like a train.. happens usually once an outing.. thats using 15kg main line with 20kg leader.. and im gentle (ex UK coarse fisherman fetching in 20+lb carp on 2.2lb line.. on a roach pole )

so the idea of the baitrunner is a nice idea.. what overhead options would you recommend.. and also what rod would you suggest

i wish i had a bit of time to research this nicely.. im in the middle of renovations again..

Thanks

Steve
