Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
RF 79 reversal or Carpenter coralviper 79/40
Arnout Weber:
How do you discripe a fishing style?
My intention is to use it with poppers between 100 and 150 gr.
I have a RF 78flex for poppers up to 180gr and a Infinity light for
stick baits up to 160gr.
So i think i have a nice collection with this extra rod to cover a lot
of situations.
Best regards,
Arnout.
Mark Harris:
If you are going to poppers at 150 grams, the CV 79/40 will begin to struggle a bit.
Arnout Weber:
I think what my choose is going to be.
I have seen video,s of both rods and the CV looks a little bit softer.
I think the Gt79reversal is the right choice for me.

Hi Sami, just curious, have you had a bad experience with a SOM spool?

Hi Andy,
Yes I personally own one, where the spool is literally done with not much drag left, it defiantly need service and on another note the drag is not that smooth at all with a bit of seizing during the fight reminding me of the Saltiga, I've seen it failing on clients on different occasions.
the lip is another problem per comparison to the original or the Yumeya spool, I can't justify the cost only to add 10% or 15% line capacity and gain a bit of bling bling, so far nothing beats the original or the Yumeya spool in my opinion.
Tight lines
Sami
