If you are heading to the tropics and want to throw stickbaits, poppers and diving poppers at GT and oversized Reefies the PE8 Saragosa and Grappler Type C is the combo for you. For a reasonable this is a quality, durable and reliable topwater combo perfect for all kinds of pelagics and reef dwelling fish. The Grappler Type C is considered an all rounder topwater rod, meaning its stiff enough to work large faced poppers with ease. Yet, it has enought movment and feel in the tip to get optimal action out of your floating stickbaits and diving poppers. The Saragosa 18000 is a workhorse reel with great sealing and plenty of drag. We suggest using PE8 if you are fishing shallower water for GT and larger reef fish, or if you are lucky enough to be chasing Dogtooth Tuna on topwater. This combo is also a great option if you are chasing Yellowtail Kingfish or Yellowfin Tuna. We chose Sufix 832 braid for this combo as it is casts very well and has great abrasion resistance.
