Advice on land based GT rod

(1/8) > >>

Stuart Rowley:
Great thread Brandon Khoo, very informative. I asked this on the FB page, so sorry if its doubling up.  I would like to do Land based GT fishing so if anyone could give me some advice it would be much appreciated. I live in Perth WA, will be fishing LandBased locations up north for GTs, Quobba, Exmouth, Broom, etc etc. Not to sure but I guess I would be using mostly Poppers around the 120 - 160g mark & some stick baits, not sure of the weights there, I guess about 150-170g range, but will use what suits the rod I end up with. So for a rod I was thinking that the - Endless Passion EP 86/40R-P, may be a good choice. Casting distance would be a big factor so I thought this may be the overall best choice between lure weight & rod length. What do you guys think? Is there a better rod for this application? Have also been looking into the BLACK HOLE CAPE COD SPECIAL 106N HEAVY ROD (NANO), Any advice on these two rods or others would be much appreciated. Thank you.

Brandon Khoo:
Guys, Stewart posted this question on FB originally and I suggested he might be better off asking this question on gtpopping. Hoping some of our Hawaiian members who have experience in this form of GT fishing might be able to offer some insights.

My RacePoint 200 out casts my Endless Passion 86/40 in all lure weights its hard to beat a fast action rod for distance. I fish both with either a 18k or 14k and pe8, if you droped to a 10k /8k and pe6 you gain even more distance.
