If the poppers are out and budget not an issue, then I would suggest you look at relevant specification rods from the specialist stick bait ranges of Ripple Fisher and Carpenter. The right models would seem to be:
Ripple Fisher Ultimo 79MH or 82MH
Carpenter TBL 80/40 .
wanboon lee:
would a carpenter EP86/40R power 1 be a suitable choice for him?
I have the intention to get this rod to play swimbait >180g and probably a D/E cup popper.is it feasible ?
Mark Harris:
EP 86/40 will handle stickbaits to 200 grams no problem.
For poppers an E Cup would be really pushing it unless you just want to skim the popper. If you want to really chug it properly, then I would say no with this rod. D-Cup maybe but I don't ever remember using a D-Cup so am not really aware of its characteristics.
EP86/40 does well with poppers like Seafrog Twinhook, Cubera 125.
