Rating popping rod is usually described in units of PE, for example, PE5, PE6, PE8, PE10. PE is a unit of measure maximal load (breaking strain) on braided kenur, does it mean when a fishing rod popping has PE8 rating means maximum strength for the rod kenur is PE8. Ring popping guide for fishing rod average was wearing metal alloy or Silicon Carbide in anticipation of friction kenur braided with large load. The Japanese craftsmen known as popping a good fishing rod, many well-known brands come from there like Fisherman, Carpenter, and Sevenseas.
