Ivan Verhage:
Neil could you give me more infomation about the new T-curve rods.  Are you going to get in the new Daiwa monster mesh jig and popper rods and if so how much would they cost?

Thanks
Ivan Verhage

Ivan,

In my opinion, the T-Curve is the best popping rod in the 'cheap' popping rod market today. Simply put, The T-Curve and Saltist models you mention are not designed for 80lb. I would opt for the T-Curve if you had to make the choice but you would be pushing to handle weights greater than 125 grams. Running 50lb would be best.

Your best option would be to choose another rod or find out about these new rods that Neil mentions if you want to run 80lb.

This is coming soon. One piece and extra heavy.

Ivan Verhage:
Hi guys

I have been looking at another popper rod called a Shino gtpop

This rod features the folowing:
Length 8'6"
PE 8
2piece Butt Joint
Fuji SIC
Fuji DPS-H reel seat
Aluminium Gimble
Do you think it is to long to be runing 80lb line on it?
Has anyone used this rod and how do you think it would compair to the T-curve?

Thanks
Ivan
