Poppers are used for targeting surface feeding predatory fish, 24kg + gear is advised for larger poppers. The rods that are used for poppers are mid to fast cast action and are usually about 8 foot long. This length allows log casts ensuring the popper stays in the water for longer. Braid is the preferred line for fishing poppers but is not necessary.
