REVIEW ON THE TEMPLE REEF STK-78HH by Australian angler Sean G. Extracted from the elitetackle.au website "A must have piece of kit for the stable: Temple Reef STK-78HH who knew? Having just returned from my second trip to Vanuatu with the Ocean Blue crew and I can’t say enough. They really do run a class organization and a must for the Popping and Jigging crowd full stop. Which leads me on to the STK 78HH. A stick and brand I knew little about but after 5 days on the crystal blue reefs it has supplanted the rest, I simply love this stick. Why? Where to begin, the build and finish are simply beautiful it loads up like a bull whip and casts for miles or at least 80M and sets up perfectly for midsize poppers and stick-baits of note the Hammerhead a-cups sent up metre high rooster tails and the 120G ASWB SS twitched and darted GT’s on cue. “BUT” if I’m completely honest the real difference was the weight under 300G. Like most of us that hunt GT, you most likely have the request PE8/10/12 Ripple Fisher, Carpenter or Smith with a Stella 18K, 100P JB Hollow etc. I run a Yamaga Blue Reef P8 and love it no question, but by day 2 midday throwing 185G Sticks and Poppers I was heading more and more to the STK, while my mates were heading for the Panadol and Tiger Balm. If you are into your popping and plan on making the pilgrimage to New Cal, Van, Coral Sea or some big reef, get a STK-78HH throw a Stella 10K on it and ring the dinner bell it really is a Fabulous piece of kit and let’s be honest a loaded P6 and a locked drag stops pretty much everything and so much more fun. Happy fishing".
