Hi Luke, good to see we have a common love interest `STELLAS'.
Q: Do you think if I upgraded from 15lb to 30lb [Nitlon] on my Emblem-Pro it would handle local popping, it's now matched with a Pflueger Conteder 7'6" 8-12kg rod, but could be put on a T-Curve BW 7'6" 10-15kg rod. Other options to concider are a Twinspin 6000 and a Stella 8000 on a GH Saurai 6' 30-80lb with 50lb Jigman.
I have a collection of Halco Roosters, Shimano Oceas, Lively Lures Fat R's and others, all ready for when I sort out my outfits.
My Local Jigging areas are 20-35nm off Mooloolaba and look very Popable with Tuna, Medium Trevs, Macs and Wahoo caught Jigging or on the troll.
I would appreciate a little guidance.
