I don't think there is such a rod, or if you find one that might happen to get by in all regards, your missing the boat in every area. I personally, but you know what I like to do, would much rather have the perfect plastic rod. Mind is light by anyones comparison and is built on a Lami GW84ML, but you'd be surprised what that little baby will do. Every day I'm out, I'm throwing above it's 3/4 oz rating, as my 5-1/2 inch split tails with weighted hook are closer to an 1 oz. You could go up to the MH and would probably be really happy, it's rated 5/8-1-1/2 oz.

My plugging and grubbing rod is to sweet, but damn pricey blank and at times I'm scared to even fish it, but it is the most sensitive blank I've ever had in my hands. It's a Lami Titanium 7'6" blank, built conventional and I can feel a bass breathing on a jig. I'll also use this rod for popping and plugs, eels and smaller chunks.
