I have two pink panthers...They are essentially the original rockies(17 years old)..changed all the guides to fuji alconites....money well spent....now i have a rock rod/popper rod/stick bait rod for pe 6....sweeeet....thanks to matt wherever you may be hiding now doodWink
They were ahead of their time at that time...very light.Of course,not as light as modern rods.

Did the same mate only on a Spin LTD Edtion job makes it a damn nice rod for a bit of popper chucking or as a heavier strayline number.

Longer rod is not only required for casting length but also to work the poppers and stick baits. ]]> Thu, 09 Dec 2010 15:33:20 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=60424&PID=862887&title=rod-size-for-popping#862887 <![CDATA[Rod size for popping : I just bought a backbone elite...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=60424&PID=862844&title=rod-size-for-popping#862844 Author: xsspeed

I just bought a backbone elite popper rod (new season stock) think its around $240 so was hard to go past for value, casting and action is great, yet to be tested in anger though but feels like a fair but of grunt in it.
The other rod I looked at was a van staal, and couldn't really find too much of a difference in the shop (didn't cast the van staal)
 
Off the rocks I have used my kilwell jellytip rocky 2, which is about 8'2" or so, and is great but as pointed out not exactly suited for braid.
 
The first popper rod I bought was/is a Pioneer GT - got it for about $70. Supposedly can be hit and miss (some break) but its a pretty cheap intro to see if you are into this type of fishing.
 
I will be using both this summer in anger (hopefully)
 
What reel are you using?
