Yeah sorry Mike, I wasn't meaning to slam them at all. I actually copied them when I first starting making poppers. And, yes they do work. It's just now that I have some flashy looking poppers and getting into this stickbaiting, I don't think I'll be reaching for them in the bottom of the tackle sack.

Then again, I do know some guys who work out at the refinery who used to catch kings out there with a handline, ball sinker and a bit of white rag, no bull, I've seen the pics. Anything or anyone can pull when they are hot for it.

Yeah it's not actually stainless single strand wire, more a multistrand stainless like that shark trace stuff you can buy, I think. Agree, a bit weird how it's soo long, isn't really gonna help the action of a turned wood popper. Good looking piper like thou. He had them at hunt and fish expo up here and had some nice photos of decent kings, so no doubt work. Guess anything on it's day does. That's fishing.
