urhookedfish 12 Posted December 5, 2012 Report Share Posted December 5, 2012 Havent used it, but judging by the lure weight specs and PE rating Id say it would be an insane Popper rod for Pt Augusta Kings. Casting stick baits and Yo Zuri Sashimi's etc. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Saltiga5 3 Posted December 8, 2012 Author Report Share Posted December 8, 2012 Looking at either Hiramasa 78 or the CB 77SF.Which one will be better suited as a popper rod?http://www.plat.co.jp/shop/catalog/product_info/language/en/products_id/13969/cPath/21_38_45_1840/saltwater-fishing/saltiga-dorado-casting-bluebacker-77s-f.html Quote Link to post Share on other sites

adamibinfishin 224 Posted August 4, 2016 Report Share Posted August 4, 2016 Hi guys. Old post but wondered if anyone had been using any of the above rods. Eyeing off the 78 model atm. Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
