hay guys any of use throw stick baits and poppers of the bricks??

I have used rapala skitterpops off the rocks, just used a rocky 2 so 8'2"(?)

well,i suppose i am old school and have always used cotten cordells....both sinking and floating....they cast well,have rattle in em and have always used my 6500 and my pink panther(like a rocky 2)...they always go well at the barrier for some reason...so its good enough....use soft baits too with a good wiggle !!!The newer 6500B got a better drag than my original baitrunner and will do ok for the average king swimming around the bricks.

not to fused on the price of stick baits

same

used to toss hookless poppers just the pencil ones they were to intice a shot on the livies

I'd just use the same gear you use on a boat and whatever weight lures match that set. You dont need to cast stupid far as most of the time thats not going to be where the fish are. I didnt do much time on the rocks this year but cast an Action Imports sticky around a fair bit when I did and as per BA, some poppers as teasers as well. That said, the only one I got off the surface was from a skipped piper on popping gear. Bait still works too.

yeah i'm sticking to the good old tried and tested dead piper, here is a 19 kg king on a GT special with a stella 8000 with 50 lb black spot braid, caught a couple of weeks ago never caught a kingie in august, but thats because i never tried

Was it this one Jim?
