Few feedback that i got are, all my current setups are PE6-8 class. Well, most of my "local" trips are targeting GT ca 10-20kg class which will survive the pairing of rods with Stella 14000XG and/or Stella 10000XG SOM 16000.
For those who likes big mouth chuggers with minimum weight 135g up to 230g, different rod and reel setup is needed. I am not fimiliar with Daiwa, but with Stella, 18000XG PE10-12 is a must.
Example of these chugger are Hammerhead E-cup 145g, G-cup 190g , I-cup 215g, Craftbait GT3 150g, 170g 190g, PD Masterd Bomb BIG-CUP 170, MASTERD BOMB 205, Shell Shaping ChuBar 205, Orion Cono Cono 160, 190 & 220, Orion Monster 210,

1) Carpenter SP78UHL-SHP
2) Carpenter SP78EXH
3) Carpenter SP78H-SHP
4) Carpenter MH80H
5) Carpenter MH79XH

Trip Preparation : Rods
Got few quiries on which rod do i bring to popping trips.
Well, it still depends on where is the location, what is the target fish size, which lure to have more weighted i.e. popper or stickbait, how big is the popper, which reel to pair with...etc etc...
I kinda know that it is nearly impossible to have a multifunctional GT popping rod that can cast 150g chugger and 150g stickbait all day. Specific rod is for specific task.
But for me, i am happy if i can cast and use Seafrog Twinhook 120 and Gamma/Bluefish 140 using only 1 rod, targeting GT between 15-35kg. So all day rod for me is either CV79/40 or F3 711/40. I might also voted for MH80/40. Noted all my choice is from 40lb class which in my opinion can chug a 120gram chugger and play Gamma / Bluefish 140 kinda "easy". Also these 3 rods have the "power" to lift sizeable stubborn GT when it lie underneath the boat.
As per establishment, Carpenter rods are classed based on their poundage which help us to estimate the max lure and max drag force. Belows are few example of Carpenter series
Note, when comparing the 40lb class, CV 79/40 is a PE6-8 rod which kinda forgiving "beginner rod" and has the least LureMax i.e. 200g which indicate the tip is slightly softer which is good for lighter stickbait eg. 120-140gram Gamma. Also, with the lightest rod weight, CV79/40 paired with Stella 14000 will gives angler less fatigue for whole day usage. I have tested F3 711/40 and MH80/40 and in my opinion, they are suitable for γ-200 with minimum γ-160 with PE10 setup.
