Cheers Sammy, will take all that into deep consideration well actually will just do what you say and take both.

IMO a lure that is working effectively, or able to be worked effectively is going to catch you fish...

Bro if your casting all day with a big faced popper that is hard to work, your going to be sapped... Scale down the size and really get it working and you will bring up fish. Not all GT's are monster sized, nor easy to catch... You may have to put in 6hrs of casting for one missed hook up or even a splash... It could be all on too!

Same applies to stick-baits, I have a theory that aligns with the big GT's we are seeing caught on stick baits lately... Areas of huge currents hold big strong GT's, but these currents ripping around make the popper hard to work and ineffective. Stick baits changed the game in these areas, anglers can work them effectively for longer periods of time, the longer that baits in the water doing it's thing your % of success goes up. 

I do like the energy involved with popping... Take everything Aaron LOL

Kurt (Poppin Tonga) did mention to me, that he has never caught a GT on a stick bait when fishing the fusilier schools... We both found it odd, and he may have by now.

That's just because you are a brute!

How are you keeping Kurt? Wink

in my opinion, dont use the halco trebles, yes they do catch big fish at times. but i have seen several good fish lost when they bend out.

aitutaki gts are hard enough to land as it is, let alone with hardware that is not up to the task. if your gear is not quality mike has casting gear to use.

beco is the name of the shop mentioned, back road behind airport next to tereora college. they are out of halco poppers.

i use owner rings and st66 trebles. halco roosta poppers are awesome.

mike from black pearl is the man. yes more gts in aitutaki than raro.

have a good trip!

VERY limited bro, heaps of halco stuff at this one stop type shop with a big still chainsaw out front, its up the hill not on the main road around island sorta by airport. they use lots of the halcos for yft over there,so seem to stock it, that was in march, but there was alot there...  ask to go out with a local on his little boat man , they should be more than happy, they are very little and scary at times but you could get the chance to cast stickbaits at schools of yft at the fads even jigy jig... and if you can catch fish they will be happy as... went out with capt moko too, hes good value too.. some times keen to try new things like jigging etc, (they are prity stuck in there ways over there)
