Guys,
I am looking for a popping specific rod to handle 10 -25kg fish, plus the occasional beast. I mainly fish the GBR in the far north of Qld. My budget rules out the top end sticks from Carpenter/Smith etc.
Does anyone have experience with the Shimano Caranx Kaibutsu surface/deep monster? If so, what are the differences between the two?
Also, I have seen that Bluewater & MO Tackle stock the Gary Howard GT Cannon. Does anyone have any experience with this stick? I see that it is unusual in that splits in the middle of the blank, rather than the more usual butt joint. Hal, can you help?
Cheers,
Fraser
