We had a similar query recently, Luke and my suggestion was that a Coral Viper was ideal. I'm your case, I'd probably suggest a RF40. If the poppers you want to use are say 120g or less, a Carpenter Blue Lagoon 711 RF35 would do the trick. You could also look at a Ripple Fisher Ultimo 80 in the PE8 model.
If you like a longer rod, the Ripple 82LC is suitable too.
I'm struggling to think of options from other manufacturers primarily because an essential characteristic for a stickbait rod is the soft tip. Some people think that a slower more progressive action on a rod makes for a suitable stickbait rod and it is certainly more suitable than a stiff tipped fast action chugging rod but there is more to a good stickbait rod than that.
