If you are heading to the tropics and want to throw stickbaits, poppers and diving poppers over the reef flats and at bust ups the Saragosa and Grappler Type C is the combo for you. For a reasonable price 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 that 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 8000 is a workhorse reel with great sealing and plenty of drag. We suggest using PE4 if you are chasing fish such as Coral Trout, Red Bass & other reefies as well as pelagics like Longtail Tuna, Spanish Mackerel, Cobia and Queenfish. We chose Sufix 832 braid for this combo as it is casts very well and has great abrasion resistance.
