Nice Ian! Thumbs Up

You never mentioned catching yourself during your trip? Good to know I am not the only one who has the odd "whoopsy" with hooks, bet your glad you were running SJ's instead of ST's Ouch

For those who don't know, Ian and some friends kicked off their fishing season with a trip to Jewell Reef. From what I have been told the trip rewarded them with plenty of GT's and other tropical species of fish. Ian had contacted me early in the year about making him some small poppers and I took on the challenge, thanks for having some faith in me Ian and thanks for the feedback.

Guys, 

Ian's feedback on the small poppers has since refined a new popper and it has the same action as it's big brother the "Bomber". Currently turning some for testing so keep an eye on the mail box Ian as I will send you some free of charge! Will post up some photo's as I complete some.
