Maven Pacific 8'3" Popper Rod - PE6-8

The Maven PE6-8 Popper rod is purpose-built for serious anglers chasing heavy hitters on surface gear. It's the heavyweight of our world-class Pacific range - crafted for explosive topwater strikes and relentless battles.

Handmade to perfection, this two-piece, 8'3" rod features Maven's iconic pinstripe finish, highest-grade components, and beautifully finished cork grips. Built on a premium CTS blank, it combines raw lifting power with the sensitivity and balance needed to work large poppers all day long.

Optimized for lure weights between 100g and 150g, the rod delivers exceptional control and precision whether you're sending big poppers into heavy current, reef edges, or offshore feeding frenzies. A forgiving tip section helps you breathe life into your lure without wearing yourself out, while the rod’s deep power reserves come alive when it's time to set hooks and turn brutal fish.

Designed around PE6 to PE8 line classes, this rod is all about handling maximum drag pressures with confidence. Whether you're targeting monster kingfish, GTs, tuna, or anything else that demands a heavy hand, the PE6-8 Popper rod gives you the strength to dominate - and the refinement to enjoy every cast.

At just 380 grams, it's surprisingly lightweight for its class, allowing you to cast, work, and fight with less fatigue and more control.

When the surface explodes and the real battle begins, this is the rod you want in your hands.
