I think that Jigging Master have changed there popper rods over the last couple of years, I did hear that they use to be a bit soft in the tip but im sure all that has now changed.
The new 7'8 popper rod is a very nice looking rod, I dont no alot about popper rods myself but I think the new ones are made from a new very strong blank that there new Three Kings Special jigging rods that they have just brought out are made out of.
If anyone is on the Gold Coast and wants to view any of the Jigging Master rods please flick me a PM.
