Calstar blank is not what I would say a purposely designed for popping while Daiwa SG Mura Mura 76 is albeit it's not a popular popping rod by today's standard , 60 lbs. is considered " light medium " class when come to GT popping , some are using 170 lbs. PE12 Varivas line as the the " ultra heavy " class , nowaday .
