Some Intro :
If we talk about popping, no seasoned anglers who has not ever heard of Carpenter Rods. No wonder, surely, we face the best rods on the market for the practice of these modalities.
Carpenter is a 100% Japanese factory, lead by Kenji Konishi which employed 17 workers, including those who do part-time to supply the Japanese market first and then across the world. The production as you can guess, are clearly inadequate for the demand. This is because, product made in their workshop are completely handmade, very few Japanese brands, in addition to Carpenter, can boast of that.
For this reason, it's rare that dealers have in stock rods, even the best shops in Japan. The few units that reach the stores are deplete quickly, so it is best to order the desired model for some months ahead. Some Japanese, aware of the difficulty in obtaining Carpenter Rods, buy them for auction on e-Bay at prices above the shops. It's happens similarly with the used rods. Rarely sold, and if that is that case, the process is so fast that almost no time to learn. Because of this peculiarity philosophy of production, is normal encounter cases of anglers who have spent nearly a year waiting to get their hands on a particular model of Carpenter Rod. I also manage to get this desire rod by waiting nearly a year with alot of patient and alot of beating heart.
Like another manufacturer, Carpenter classified it's rods by Series. Kenji Konishi, however, is a craftsman who designs each rod type depending on the species you want to capture. In another example of exquisite refinement Japan, choose lures that will best adapt to the characteristics of each rod.
For me, which mostly addict to Giant Trevally, of course will choose GT SERIES of the Carpenter Rod. In GT Series there are 6 categories to harass and beat the GT more bullies. For my second Carpenter Rod, i still pick it from LGM (La Grande Mer) Super Popping model. SP80M. Improved version of SP79M, design for chugger primarily but still can work with heavier stickbait either surface or sinking type. Rated at PE6-8 which just nice enough for my physical & strength. The other thing is the weight, just 380g, so not tiring me by popping for whole day.
Made from Carbon-intensive average elasticity, its blank provides a very precise feeling in the cast and adds a special nerve in the flight with the catch.
At launch, the applied force is transmitted faithfully to the rod, it bends gradually and without unnecessary vibrations to the lure, simply fly to the target. The same principle applies at the time of the sample, since any small action by the angles is transmitted faithfully to the lure.
When the fish is chopped and the party begins, all the blank shows resilience to raise the trophy, making this event a pleasant and easy exercise. Intermediate and experienced anglers, regardless of their physical, can enjoy catching large prey with the rod that transform all violent acts in smooth movements.

Was tested on my last trip to Rompin. Just landed 3 Sailfish from 25kg to 40kg. Fix this lure by single fisherman spinoza size 10/0 jigging hook. Owesome working performance for sinking stickbait. Weight : 75g. On that trip, i beat another boat (6 boats i think) which using Live Bait but only can landed 1 sailfish overall. Thank for Steven & Sky make me more poisoned by Sailfish popping. I'll get more colour & size of this Squidpencil & always keep it in my lure box for my any popping trip. It's rockin' damnn good stickbait.
