Thanks for all the info, It seems as though there is definitely a couple of brands that keep coming up as a good option. Im running a smith komodo as my popper rod so the new rod will be solely for the stickbaits. I looked at a smith stickbait rod but I felt the foregrip was a little short for me. I will do a little research on the models suggested and see what is available to me. I know I can get the ripple fishers and yamaga locally but I have rarely seen the mc/carpenters/hots rods for sale. Thanks again.]]> Fri, 21 Oct 2011 01:54:38 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71139&PID=1016985&title=which-stickbait-rod#1016985 <![CDATA[which stickbait rod ?? : Legacy wrote:For 100-160...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71139&PID=1016983&title=which-stickbait-rod#1016983 Author: accurate

Im based in QLD for work at the moment, But I am lucky enough to spend a fair amount of the summer back in NZ around the top of the South Island and fish in QLD during the winter.

Carpenter is for sure the best in class..check out how popular they are globally when it comes to GT n kingfish casting rod. Other brand if I may suggest is the MC Works and Ripple Fisher. These 2 are also best in class. No doubt. Forget the rest if you do have the money to spend on the top gear. These brands are famous because they have been tested and proven by top anglers from all around the globe. And it takes time to be on that spot...]]> Thu, 20 Oct 2011 12:07:04 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71139&PID=1016681&title=which-stickbait-rod#1016681 <![CDATA[which stickbait rod ?? : The EP&#039;s do get alot of kudos...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71139&PID=1016537&title=which-stickbait-rod#1016537 Author: Falco

"If you can afford it get the blue chaser for NZ kingfish. If you plan to do other trips overseas etc and can only afford one rod and plan to do ALOT of popper fishing then maybe something else "
 
As the original poster said he wants to chase kingfish and GTs I suggested the Endless Passion rods by Carpenter as  the tip is not quite as soft as on the BLC's  but imho casts better than the BLCs and works 120 -160 gr stickbaits really good . Smile Personally I didn't like the 83/40 but do like the 84/18 .

Thing about the blue chasers are they are SPECIFICALLY designed for fighting NZ kingfish, and they absolutely excel at it as people will start to discover when more and more get out there. They are also designed by one of the best lure designers and manufacturers in the world and work his lures like nothing else. The lures and rods continue to catch the most fish on my boat trip after trip. We spend time casting others, go back to a carpenter and wham.

When the kings are on you will catch them on a broom stick and a spoon but it's the hard days where the top end stuff earns it's money.

If you can afford it get the blue chaser for NZ kingfish. If you plan to do other trips overseas etc and can only afford one rod and plan to do ALOT of popper fishing then maybe something else]]> Wed, 19 Oct 2011 19:01:55 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71139&PID=1016366&title=which-stickbait-rod#1016366 <![CDATA[which stickbait rod ?? : Ripple Fisher Ultimo 79MH, I have...]]> https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=71139&PID=1016293&title=which-stickbait-rod#1016293 Author: Nomad

 Ripple Fisher Ultimo 79MH, I have one on my boat as a demo rod, one of the best rods I have used, very light to cast with all day, nice soft tip for working baits and is very easy on the angler when fighting a fish.
