7'8" GT Monster Popping Rod - Jigging Master Taiwan

Designed for choppy reef area popping, using highest quality patterned loop graphite fabric for enhancing horizontal strength, resulting to a 16Kg raising power while stick high as 90 degree angle, 22Kg while stick high as 50 degree angle, makes this rod the most durable GT rod for fighting under-boat fish.

Slim body of this rod results light weight of 390g( aluminum rings excluded), tender elasticity of using new material simply makes this JM Monster GT 78 as a new milestone of GT rods.

I feel these well balanced rods will become very popular for big bluefin in Cape Cod or for any tuna in 100 - 200 lbs range.
It has strong enough backbone to handle big tuna or GT, but tip is flexible enough to cast small lures. Another masterpiece from JM.
The weight of the rod is just under 15 oz.
