My Mood:  Rep Power: 0   | Need help To all popping Sifus i need a big help, i have my eyes on the HOTS Gipang 72M for popping from shore. looking for PE6 rod that can cast poppers 80gms. what i need is a rod that can easy on the cast but with butt power. the last trip i went popping at the same place, i landed only a 9kg GT, 15 hits. 7 hook ups, land 1.....the rest got cut off by the reefs. tackle used hots gipang 67, stella 8k. but i find the 67 a little too short... need something slightly longer... thks for the help...leaving again this sunday.. |

My Mood:  Rep Power: 6 | Re: Need help Dave, go down to Sea Tackle and check out the OLD Ocea GT SCO-S82MH. Its the one with a graphite reelseat... can't miss it  That baby will launch 80-100g poppers to space and have enough power to handle GTs around 10-30kg EASY. I've fished with the OCEA GT rods in Indonesia/Thailand a couple of years back and have yet to come across any rod that's so user friendly ever since. |

My Mood: Rep Power: 6 | Re: Need help Dave, if you're new to the game and don't really use big lures, don't touch the Caranx. They are no nonsense sticks built for big fish and will work better with larger lures/heavier lines (except for the Light Pleasure) Go check out the older Ocea GT 82MH. You will know what I mean. |
