Title: Tuna Popping: Fisherman Giant Tuna 88/L
Post by: Luke Wyrsta on December 05, 2007, 06:08:05 PM

Has anyone had any experience with this rod? I am looking to have one rigged up for situations when I am offshore and there is busting Tuna.

I would also be interested in the Carpenter Big TUNA OMA 92 or Hyper Lifter TUNA HL-TN 87 if anyone can give me any feedback on those rods.

Hi Luke ,

I have both , for young bloke like you , take TN87 but for old bloke like me I use TN87 early on and OMA92 later on  as the latter is more forgiving .

Thanks Jon - the TN87 I must admit, is looking good!

I've got a TN-87. It's very nice indeed and casts an absolute mile
