Byron Ford:
hi guys this is my first post as im new an got a trip in june back to the cook islands, my fathers from there an had back ever year for great fishing, but this year i want to really get in to the GTs caught a few in past trips most on spear but only 2 on poppers an very small 5-10 kg max, i have bought a saragosa 18000 that i use jigging an been told that it will handle GTs popping an stick baiting, now here's as far as i have got, a few mates put me onto this site an said this is the place to ask my questions an get FULLY ready for the trip,
first question, rods???? what rod an where best to buy??? im 6'2 an a fit 90 kgs, so any help in that department would be a great help or even a point in a direction would be great....
2nd is poppers an stickbaits. aint to worried bout sorting them out as i have plenty of time still
so any help would be great thanks guiys

Based on your reel i would either go shimano Gt special or the daiwa monster mesh rod which are both good to start with . R2S dumbell poppers and haclo roosta and haymaker poppers also work well and wont break the bank .
