    Taking tuna off the oil Riggs in the Gulf, we always change the hooks out to Owners circle hooks and the Roosta Poppers always work the best. Redfish around here love the pink and orange 135’s

    • @CFalicon
      @CFalicon  Рік тому +1

      It’s a great popper rod. The tip is plenty stiff to work poppers. The el maestro 77h is another good option for throwing poppers.

      @@CFalicon Last year I bought the wrong rod it's more of a stick bait rod It has a really slow Taper and it pulls poppers underwater So this year i'm gonna try again But I don't wanna buy The wrong rod again So you think I should go with the 200 ST I don't need the Monster ledge 250 or 250ST

    • @CFalicon
      @CFalicon  Рік тому +1

      Any one of those rods will work fine for poppers. The weight is more about the size class of fish you’re looking to target. If you’re targeting the 250-300 lb class then yes you should go heavier than the 200st but if not they’d be overkill.

    You mention braid brands, what's the PE# rating or how many lbs though?

    • @CFalicon
      @CFalicon  5 місяців тому

      I'm typically fishing 60 lb Cortland C16 hollow or 60 lb solid braid for jigging. 60 lb seems to give the best line strength to line capacity for 10k-14k sized reels. For 18k and 20k most guys typically go up to 80 lb.

      For anything over 80lbs I usually crimp. For anything 80 and under I tie a uni or palomar knot.

      For casting I like 7'4" to 7'8", for jigging 5'2"-5'4" usually. Different rods for each type of fishing.

      Yes I'll still run a twisty for a sinking lure at times, but if I'm trying to be very stealthy I'll go with a wind on leader of 60 lb fluorocarbon
