I am a huge fan of the Carpenter MH80H Marko and think it would suit you very well.
You should also look at its slightly gruntier and shorter relative the MH79XH.
Another good option would be the Ripple Fisher 79R.
All 3 of those are excellent rods for medium-large and large poppers, and would combine beautifully with the CV79/40 in a 2 rod armoury.
You have good casting skills, so I don't think you need to go for a rod any longer that 8 feet unless you intend visiting sites where super long casting is required.
Obviously all of those are high dollar options. If you do want to spend less, then take at look at the Kaiser El Toro 150, or even the heavier 180. That rod will do a similar job for a lot less dollars. The Australian stockist is Gara Pro Shop.
