I was wondering what kind of rod to throw the 130 size whopper Plopper on? Heavy or extra heavy med/hvy and so on. Thanks for the help

I throw mine on a med heavy moderate with no problems. I usually use 20 mono but have thrown it with braid without much issue. I make more of a lob cast with it and use the 90 if I am trying to get it into tight spots.

I throw it on my Cara Amistad or the Kernan Custom rod. Both are heavy rods, but not broomsticks. 50lb Power Pro on the line.

If you can't find em wind em.

M-H or H works fine for the 130 even if it is a little over the "suggested weight" for the particular rod. I fish them and find them too light for my designated A-rig/swimbait rods that are rated for 4+ ounce baits. Remember: Heavy means way less in a standard bass rod and a specific swimbait rod. Apples and oranges.
