Poppers (and sliders) are usually a direct tie - anything in front of the
lure is likely to spoil the action.

What problem prompted the question?

Cheerio,

You should be able to get ten metres or so with the bigger ones even into a
F6 - unless you are using very thick line. 3 - 5 kg bs is about right if
you're bassing.
