Depends

I take two combos with me to Shark Bay where we mostly fish in only 3-5 metres of water.
The first for flicking light lures;

Loomis IMX 6’6” 4-7kg
Certate 2500 (original blue model), 16lb Unitika braid, 18lb Varivas leader
1/8 to 1/6 TT 3/0 jigheads for 5” jerkbaits

I like to use snakehead hooks, as I think the fish gets less leverage with the swinging hook.

and a slightly heavier combo if the by-catch is around and I need a bit more "come here"

Daiwa 7’ Air Edge 5-9kg
Sol 2500 (original) has higher drag rating, 20lb Tasline Elite white, 20lb Sunline Camo/invisible leader.
1/6 to 3/8 TT 3/0 jigheads for 5”and bigger jerkbaits & paddle tails.

I rate the Tasline highly, I remember some bad press when the SAS braid hit the shelves a few years back, but I don't think their lighter braids (6lb & 8lb) which had some initial quality issues, were actually made by Tasline.
