Dave Lewis has been actively involved in promoting extreme saltwater lure fishing to European anglers for many years now. Dave regularly leads groups of specialist anglers to some of the world’s most productive popping destinations including the Maldives, Madagascar, Oman, East Africa and Central America and personally rates the Caranx Kaibutsu Long Cast as the most versatile popping rod in the range. “The Caranx Long Cast is light enough to cast and fish with all day in intense tropical heat and humidity, yet it retains the necessary inherent strength to stop a big GT from taking your lure into the coral reef, or a 200lb Yellowfin Tuna from emptying your reel of line, and if that’s not enough power for you, then take a look at the mighty Caranx Kaibutsu Deep Monster, which is a real beast of a rod that has been purpose built to target 100lb plus GT’s” says Dave.
