Santosh,
The rods built for 300 gms lure weighs close to 500 gms and above and casting with that rod all day is fantasy. Look for some thing close to 400 gms and the lure you can use ( the popper weight ) should be between 100 to a max of 150 gms. All the other mega stuff are made for 6 foot 200lb hulks who make a 40 kg Gt look like a puppy. So go light on the rod and lures. Whats the cost of a shimano long cast which is the lighter and more suitable rod for us . Also look at the xoga( malaysian) range of rods. I remember seeing a popping rod made by them in the range of 250 to 300 $ and these are as good as any high end japanese rods.

Hi Santosh,

Found some info here.....



You're looking at the LC S8208 I assume. I'd go with distance, rather than a heavier lure weight esp if you're exploring.

Have a look at this one as well.....



If you're planning on picking up the Shimano from Singapore let me know and I might know where you can find it.

Hope this has been of some help.

Mighty Marlin.

Hi Santosh,

There is a "Customs" shop here in Delhi selling chinese made roller guide jigging rods, gathering dust @ Rs 1000 a pop!!
