8 foot hook spit rod, ( same one I use for deep cranks ) handles the two bigger sizes of plopper easy, and cast a mile. I don't use braid, I like 17 to 20 mono, and have not had any issue with the fish throwing the bait.

I like using the Dobyns SA735C but the SA 733C would work well too.

The whopper plopper does all the work. Pole doesn't matter.
