if budget aint the issue only way to go is the high end japanese stuff, forget the mid-range shimano stuff (no offense intended) if you can afford the good stuff then get it, they REALLY are that much better.

Have you looked at the Ripple Fisher range?, the GT82 http://www.nomadtackle.ashop.com.au/p/978577/ripple-fisher---gt82-long-cast.html or the GT78 extra heavy http://www.nomadtackle.ashop.com.au/p/978734/ripple-fisher---gt78-extra-heavy-.html will do the job, I have used the GT78 extra heavy and it is such a nice rod to work lures in the 130 to 180gm range and is so nice on the angler when hooked up with loads of power.]]> Sun, 15 Jul 2012 21:41:09 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80387&PID=1150790&title=popping-rod-4-stella-10k#1150790 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80387&PID=1148892&title=popping-rod-4-stella-10k#1148892 Author: Elpescador

You could just get the heavier version of the Offshore Illusion to use for poppers. As far as price goes, those CTS blanks that Leon builds on are pretty hard to beat.]]> Wed, 11 Jul 2012 15:28:17 +0000 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80387&PID=1148893&title=popping-rod-4-stella-10k#1148893 https://www.fishing.net.nz/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=80387&PID=1148890&title=popping-rod-4-stella-10k#1148890 Author: AndyK-22
