Recommendations for pe4-6 rod

Mahmoud Salem:
What About the Ultimo711ML?

David Noble:
Love my Hots 711 for stickbaits in that range. I've lobbed up to 140g with it also but it feels perfect 80-110g for me.
Agree with both Trevor and Mark's comments, need to clarify it's really a stickbait rod so if poppers are your main lure then probably look at an allrounder option. You could probably find longer rods to cast a bit further or look at other brands to do the same job but I doubt you'd ever regret owning the Hots once you handled one.

Good luck,

Mahmoud Salem:
I'm currently using a Tokara for poppers.

100 or 110 gm Sticbaits is just fine,
how much drag do you guys use with it?
line strength?
How is the casting distance?
Can it handle say a 25kg GT consistently?

Leo Sorbello:
Mahmoud,

The Hots 711MH has caught GT's up to between 40 - 50kg's in experience hands. It's a powerful rod for PE4 - 6 line, yes stickbaits of 60 to around 110g is sweet. I own one and love it and is comfortable to use with a 10000 size reel and PE5 line. I use 6 - 7kg of drag and casting distance is good for me lobbing out 60 meters with a 60 - 70g stickbait without even trying hard punching it strongly out.

 Enjoy and tight lines !.

Regards

Leo

Mahmoud Salem:
Just for info, how would the Hots 711MH compare to:
Yamaga blue sniper 82/5
Ripple Fisher Ultimo 711ML UG Swim
MC Works Explosion or Seven miles(too many models that I got lost which ones should be in comparison) :)
