Cracking video Duncan. I am leaning towards the FCL Labo UCB 81 MH Pop Extreme (was looking at the FCL Labo UCB 81M Extreme) to be used primarily for poppers 125-150g in weight (the odd 105g popper). Does it cast and work these lighter poppers ok? Or would the 81M Extreme be the better option?
Hi, In general I think that both rods handle poppers in the 125-150g range very well. When you get to large cup poppers at the 150g mark the MH Pop is still handling things very easily, while you can feel that the M model is working the lure fine, but the rod is at the upper end of its ability pulling the lure through the water. Likewise at the 105g end both rods are pulling the lure through the water very easily, but the M model is loading up better with that cast weight. the MH starts to feel really good with the 120g lures and up
Hi, We review the rods that we sell through our store. At this time we are not doing MC Works but if we do start carrying them in future we would add them to our video list.
