Are the OTI rods good for big GTs? (Ocean Tackle International)

Hi to all:

I want to buy a Gt popping rod, I am thinking of buying a OTI (ocean Tackle International) 7'6 popping rod.
but do not know if they hold up for the task, if they do, which model do you recommend?

the ligther model: OTI-3101-765S   200g lure max 25lbs max drag

or the heavier model: OTI-3101-768S 300g lure max 25lbs max drag

if you do not recommend them, can you please tell me why? and which will be a good, reasonably priced, rod?

thank you!

Rohit Saqa Lal:
If you are in Sydney and keen on pulling on some of the OTI sticks then I may be able to help

Callan Wallace:
I us the 40-60 lb OTI 7'6" and love it. I have only caught up to 35kg GT's but the rod performed beautifully.
Cheers

Santosh Shanmuga:
The OTI rods are very parabolic, and meant for drawn out battles with tuna. They will work for GTs, but if you'll be fishing an area where you need to pull fish away from bommies, I'd go with a faster rod, one meant for GT popping

chiazeng:
Thanks for all the comments,

Santosh, which rod would you recommend for GT's (priced like the OTI?)

thank you,

Chia Zeng
