Just bought a 2-4 oz Shimano Aspire assf130mptl. Not used it yet so can't comment too much about it. It cost me about half the price of a built profile, is 100g lighter and comes with a reducer, sliding reel seat and top of the range fuji sic rings. All in all a bargain if it's as good as the 13ft 4-8oz version.
Century FMJ down Under
Here is a video of one of the ASF members ( Luke Day ) who along with a few of the others down here have satrted using the FMJ for our light beach fishing requirements .
Lukes rod has been custom built by himself and it is a top class beit of kit. I have also gotten myself a fully built up one and over the last few sessions have been using it matched with the Diawa Exceller 4500 DA. This outfit running 10 pound ULtima distance line and 40 pound tapered leaders is proving to be a top performer when matched with 3 oz lures or grip lead and clipped down rigs.
Really looking forward to getting into a few fish with it as the season warms up and will post up some results as and when I get them.

I am really interested in what you guys are also using as light outfits for Bass and Mackerel etc.
Looking forward to getting my hands on Zziplex Profile lite in the near future as well to see how they perform. A number of the ladies and guys targeting the smaller fish in the calmer waters are wanting something lighter than what we normally see on the beaches.
All feedback greatly appreciated
