Heavy Duty GT Popping Gear Recommendation/Suggestion

I frequently see questions being asked on what tackle to buy for GT popping so I thought I should come out with a few proven suggestions through personal experience or from my mates fishing together with me.

Ideally you should always try out the rod that you plan to buy (if possible). There is no perfect rod for everyone........ Our height, physics, strength are different. So what works for me may or may not work best for you.

Below are some suggestions.

Heavy Popping Gear:

Reels: Saltiga Z6000GT, Saltiga Dog Fight, Stella 10000, Stella 18000 (new version)
Rods: Smith Tokara, Smith Komodo Dragon, Carpenter WV/SP/LR, Ripple Fisher 79RF
Line: Varivas GT Max PE8 or PE10
Leaders: Fisherman Stealth Leader, Varivas Shock Leader
Hooks: Owner ST-76, Decoy 6/0, 8/0, 10/0
Poppers: Craft Bait, Ebi Pop, Fisherman, Orion, Jai, Hammerhead

The suggestion is certainly not exhaustive but those that i have some experience with. If you have good experience with any other gears for heavy duty popping, please leave a comment so that i can update the list :)

Hopefully, i will find time soon to come out with a medium duty GT popping gear recommendation list.
