Specialist Popper Casting Gear to Bring

We take great care handling fish and have a policy of releasing all GTs. We also like to frequently release Dogtooth Tuna. Using heavy tackle shortens fight times and ensures fish are released quickly and in the best condition possible. We also crush all our hook barbs.

We only carry medium tackle popping gear for fish in the 5-25kg range.

If you want to target the big GTs here you must bring your own heavy tackle Popping gear.

Popper casting

We recommend using tackle that is of at least 80lb line class and better still, 130lb line class.

Most anglers here use Shimano Stellas or Daiwa Saltiga threadline reels spooled with 130lb Varivas braid on Shimano GT Specials or custom rod made by HOTS, Fisherman, Zenaq, Carpenter, Smith and Ripplefisher to name a few examples. The big GTs here will break anything less. Even so, expect to chew through a few poppers.....
