Hi all,
I'm new to the GT popping scene and am looking for some advice on purchasing a rod. Being a beginner I dont really wan to spend a fortune just yet. I'd say at this stage I'll be fishing around 80ld braid and using lures around the 150g mark give or take. I've done a bit of research and sort of narrowed it down to 3 rods.
First being the T-curve GT special. Havent heard anything bad about these yet but havent found one locally to have a feel of yet. Second is the Diawa Monster Mesh at 8'3", 200g casting weight rated PE 6 - 8. Had a feel of one today and was pretty impressed. Felt light and comfortable. Third is the T-Curve blue water 15-24kg. Had a play with this one too and it felt pretty good. I saw on the nomad web site that they recommend this rod but it is only rated up to 100g cast weight. Would they cast heavier poppers alright?
Being new to this any advice would be appreciated.
