Spinal popping and jigging blanks reviews?

(1/2) > >>

Dave Hoo:
Hi,
I was reading the forums and came across the Spinal brand of popping n jigging blanks / rods.

Anyone has any reviews for them?

thanks

Dave Hoo:
Anyone who might have used the spinals? Their reviews seemed good in the 360 Tuna foru

Dan Harley:
I have fished the 500g for Bluefin tuna on the Canyon Runner 60' they are nicely made rods.  For me the 500g was a heavy rod but I think that was the intent.  I'm more a fan of 350 to 450g max so it was not for me, but I liked the quality of the build - they are made in the US and I thought well done, wraps where well done, hardware, fit and finish are very good.  Impressed me as being alot of rod for the money.

Gil Ayuyao:
A SPM8 or SPH78 popping rod may be in my future...reviews sound great and price is very manageable.  Wish there was a dealer close by so I can pull on the rod/blank so I can decide....or maybe just get both  ;D

Gil Ayuyao:
Got my SPH78 (60-120lb) back from my rod builder and got a factory SPM8 (60-100lb).  Both rods will be used on a multiday trip to Baja Mexico in December.  :)  Will be doing some test casting soon with a Stella and Saltiga, respectively.  The SPM will be used with stickbaits and plastics and the SPH for poppers.

The trip will be targeting 100-200lb yellowfin tuna aboard a 92-foot sportfishing yacht.  The common practice is lure fishermen to use the bow so I'll be tossing stickbaits, poppers, and soft plastics while the bait guys will be at the stern.
