I was in fco and noticed they have smaller WJs than the one I originally saw, they do look good but i noticed the plastic feel today more on the small ones i saw.

That is correct smart fellaWacko....you missed a bit..............I like them sealed too.....without a hole for the belly swivel.......eg shimano pencils/starwalker.
Thanks sam for pointing  that out about the williamsons.......I dont know where i got that owner hook from....its the only one i have...............so it will be interesting to see how it swims compared to the inline shogun.Will let you guys knowWink

They are injection moulded, this way they save money on plastic making them hollow.... Hollow lures don't have the guts for thru-wiring.

Was looking through my stuff and found what i think is a perfect inline hook for the 138 waxwing......top of pic is the daddy waxwing.
I have changed the second one for the hook i found....which is a smaller one of the one on the daddy.....dont know what its off but it looks perfect.
the bottom one has an inline shogun.....
will give them all a cast soon......i found the inline shogun tamed the action a bit......i wonder if its a bit light......the middle one could be good.

i think hes saying itll stand the normal 15ish kg kingies (my experience too) and should be fine with the bigger ones as long as you play them a bit. 

of course if youre targetting massive GTs then they might do some damage lol :)

i looked again at the Jet in the store today, they are a lot bigger in the flesh than i expected. wow they look the goods, the jets look like they will turn the water into a washing machine and i love the reflector mirrors in the tail. im no popper expert but i want one just for GAS

edit: just read your post titahi, that makes sense, so possibly not the best durability?

Possibly not the best example of durability, given it is possible to catch a marlin on a fly hook......Doesnt mean they are the best tool for the job.

Like a lot of lures Its possible to catch a big fish on one, my preference is to use something through wired. The belly hook  on the jet poppers is seemingly locked into the lure by a steel pin held in place by plastic. Fishing it with an appropiate drag will probably see the job done, clamp the spool or lock down the drag on a big fish ?????
