alternative to a ACC GS76SG

[chetc]

looking for a lightweight 7 1/2 ft spinning rod with similar specs to the ACC GS76SG. they are out of stock, is there anything out there as light as this rod. anyone own this rod and are you happy with it.

I have one of the Bass Pro micro lite rods. It is sensitive with good backbone. I have not fished with the ACC rod so I can't say how they compare to each other

i have two of the 7'6" acc crappie sticks. i really like em. ive owned a bunch of rods and if had to say which compaired closest to it id say it would be the sam heaten ss. the acc has a little faster tip so its a tick stiffer than the heaten or a bass pro microlite. another favorite of mine is denali pryme 7 dock shoot. its a one piece they make a 7'6" but i havent used one.

hello murdok

do you feel the denali rods are as light as the ACC rod in the same length

keep in mind two things about light rods ,the rod blank walls are very thin , a scratch and they will possibly break , second is in the wind they fly like a straw , mind you there are tons of 7 foot rods that are great rods out there .
maybe look at a tica or a norsemen and or for the budget minded a proangler ,held an acc before , nothing special about it ,,,,just saying

not quite as light but they have a real good balance to them. it is on of those rods that just feels right when i put it in my hand

i would mention one more that i really like are allstar rods academy carries them. i really like to put my hands on a rod before i buy. ive went down that road of super expensive Japanese rods and there pretty incredible, however iv got some 40-50 dollar that i liked almost as well. even in a brim or crappie rod i like a stiffer tip. i dont enjoy fishing with a limp noodle. the denali and acc are about where i like a rod as far as tip

I would also agree with the Sam Heaton Super Sensitive. I have several of the 10' rods and love them. I believe they go down to 7' and up to 12' if I recall correctly.
