Christian - welcome to the site.

The Smith and Hots rods are good but have you considered Carpenter? Carpenter is regarded among the best money can buy when it comes to popping rods.

There is a Carpenter dealer in Indonesia, Jon Li, who will be able to correspond with you in Bahasa on your needs.

Jon - perhaps you could help Christian to see the light on Carpenter?  ;D

From you list Komodo Drangon is great. It's a easy to use & all rounder rod for PE8-10. Lighter application can go for Keyolhu.

Cheers,
Kai

Christian, if the Carpenter is too expensive, don't even bother looking at Smith. You will find the Komodo Dragon more expensive than any model in the Carpenter range.
