Hey Yewie, have you had a feel of the Lox Yoshi 1-3kg?
Very light rod (under 80 grams from memory) and will cast tiny hards easily. They are quite soft in the tip section though which probably isn't the best when trying to turn a tarpon or barra.

If you really are after ultra light, thats a great rod. I did a fair bit of research before buying it.
You are fishing right in the sweet spot of its line weight range too.
PM me if keen

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:
n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or
n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
