Hi Guys
I found this site some time back, been absorbing info whenever I get the chance, amasing info here.
Anyway I am going on Honeymoon/fishing trip to Linene Island in December, I have been searching endlessly for the "right" popping setup (Boat based). I don't want to spend the price of a farm on the tackle, but really don't want anything that will let me down, and that I can ideally use here in CT for Yt etc hence the size question on the reel.
I have been thinking of the Daiwa Monster Mesh popping rod with a Sustain 8000 FE spooled with PE6, Is this reel big enough? Is the line heavy enough? I have also found a Stella 6000FA for R4999.00 (new)but the 8000 spool is big money and I don't think the 6000 will cut it.
Should I rather just cut my losses and get a Spheros/Saragosa 14000 for the trip (bit big for Yt etc)
Any comments on the rod?
Please guys I need help, this is driving me mad and the prices continue to climb!!
Looking forward to the input
