Hi Benjamin Yaw,
Saw this rod first hand during a remote trip in Indonesia.
The rod can cast quite a long way and is very easy on the body. I believe the best fish we landed was around high 20's to low 30kg, not sure on exact weight but was a decent fish!
I was fishing with some of the guys from FEED lures, so lures that were thrown were mostly the FEED range of poppers (Cone 120, Pin 135) and the rod handled them pretty well. Also threw some prototype stickbaits to 150g.
I would say sweet spot is 120-140g in terms of lure weights and overall an all rounder with more of a stickbait orientation.
I would say a good of this rod is somewhere you need to cast lures a long way, or something you reach for on day 4 or 5 of a multi piece trip when you are fatigued.
The rod would pair well with a size 14000 shimano stella or something similar.
I believe it is a very attractive price as well, costing half of what most other popping rods would!
