Anyone know of a good rod to cast heavy sticks? 250 to 300 gram rigged? ------------- Once the idiots turn up..Im outta here...No time for Drama Queens. |

Carpenter Monster Hunter 79 Extreme, Monster hunter 80H 2, FCL UCB 710 Extreme H and plenty of others will cast that sort of weight but are more or less popper rods. Saltywater Tackle Race Point 300 would be my pick though. My 2c. |

Thanks fishy....i have some adhek bail dancer sticks that weigh 260 gram rigged up but they look the business to me. The salty water tackle one........does that have a softer tip to work the big sticks? The monster hunter 80 looks useful.....I will have a nosey....Thanks.

The race Point 300 is designed for casting large sticks(and poppers) to 300lb class(or more) tuna, plus XXL GT's and is a legit PE10/12 rod so obviously wont have a soft tip like a PE4-6/8 rod. With that being said it would be my pick if wanting to use more so for large stickbaits vs a really popper specific PE10/12 GT rod. What are you looking at targeting? |
