PE1-1.5 ultralight popping outfit
David Sharples:
That other topic on light outfits got me thinking about this..
I already have a KGS68M which is good for PE2.5 or so. Would like something to match with a Stella 3000 and PE1-1.5.
Would like something like the KGS and I know they do a 59L or something.
Anyone know any other similar rods, maybe Ripplefisher or something?
Cheers guys.

Hi David ,
Some G Loomis rods are excellent for line class , mine is a SJR783-2S GLX .

;D ;D ;D ;D
David this search is gonna be the end of you mate!!! HAHAHAHA!!!
I think Jon's suggestion is a good one, Loomis makes some amazing sticks... but then again, I know you like the feel of the Japanese built rods... they are addictive for sure.....
What about going completely against "tradition here, and setting yourself up with a pimped out Abu Revo Inshore, or Shimano Curado ( the Salty ones with the 7.1:1 Retreives ) or whatever pimped out low profile bait caster you can find, pimp the drags and handles, then I'm sure Evrgreen or someone can set you up with a 7ft lazer beam of a rod you can swing poppers and plastics with all day....
Only draw back wiould be fishing ultra lights like unweighted plastics or into heavy winds when the spinner certainly takes the cake....
I've been toying with a low profile over head set up for inshore for a while... 7 to 8 ft with PE 2 or 3 on a Low Profile like the Revo or something.... Probably not for a while yet, as next set up upgrade will more likely be a light soft plastic set up, 7 to 8ft with a 2500/3000 size spinner..... probably just similar to what you're looking for now, so let me know what you find!!!! ;D 8)

Now that you mentioned it Andre , one of my baitcasting rods happen to be Evergreen Temujin TXFC-68MH stallion which I pair it most of the time with Conquest 201DC filled with PE 2.5 line , nice combo for topwater action .
