hello all new to site,
Just wondering if anyone knows of any heavy duty spins / popper rods (15-24kg) that are 2 piece that break into sections under five foot besides blue water t curve (7' 6" ). Price range around $300-600?
End of short version
Thanks
Start of Long version (reasons why)
Going on holiday (samoa),
Mainly for surfing but also planning on trying poppering for GT's or anything else that will eat poppers, lures etc . Perhaps tuna.
I have already invested in a five foot twin barrel rod tube for previous hol. (2 * 9cm diameter rod tubes joined together in cloth from aussie company).
I picked five foot as the tube length to match a short stroker trolling rod I use. I kind of like the length as you can normally fit it in most cars - somehow.
Had made a decsion that all travel rods bought from now on must split into 5 foot sections or less. Have a variety of rods to take that do fit (inculding t curve blue water spin stick 7 ft 6inch which is the closest thing I have to a popper rod)
Diawa put out a gt rod at 7 foot six with a removable butt section (Saltiga SG Muramura 76) but I can't find out how long the blank (top section ) is off the net and doubt my local stocks it to check. May have to track one down.
Anyway - back to original q - any suggestions for a heavy duty 2 piece spin/popper rod that breaks into sections of 5 ft or less? Think I picked a rod tube length that was about 6 inches too short to fit most popper rods in. Doh. Know that may be a solution buy a 5 ft 6 inch rod tube but seems a bit of a waste.
many thanks
