Have a look at the OTI popper rods at Smartmarine. Great price and a lot more stick than the one you are looking at.(the VanStal you mentioned is only a 30-50lb rod)  -------------  www.kavemantackle.co.nz

| I guess the main thing is to make sure that the rod regardless of class will work the lure you select...there are rods that work poppers and then there are rods that actually work. |

The Van Stahl 30-50pd popper rods are very good bang for the buck, lot cheaper than 2k for a Jap Broomstick.
Maybe a good way to find out if this style of fishing is for you, if it is spend up after you have defined your needs.
Im sure everyone remembers all the heavy jigging gear getting sold off pretty fast.
Leave the gear envy to the keyboard jockeys, The Van Stahl can cast a popper or stickbait and work one on the retreave and muscle a fish up as well.
