I thought you guys might like to see these photos , Sam from RAL , makes them for me , I fish for GTs at the inner reefs where we get a lot of GTs to 25 kg , I use 50 lb line , and these poppers are 50 gram , but built to handle the crunch of a GT , the other shaped one is a duck , last season I didn't have enought of them , they are a surface bait and everything nails them , from GTs to coral trout , I love them ,

Good to see they turned up in one piece...

I'll start turning some more poppers for you, you lose them as quick as I make them... the perfect partnership LOL Thumbs Up

Now with the stick bait, don't get smoked first cast because I need some feedback! Super simple retrieve on this lure Ian using rod sweeps, you can change it up as you get the "feel" of how it's working. I rigged using SJ41 7/0's this saw the bait sink slowly, but comes back to the surface on the retrieve, I would guess you will rig using Decoy's? This will float the bait a little more... That remind's me I need to stock up on small hooks for testing these baits...

I was testing a 30g bait today...

Thank you very much Sir... Can't wait to put a bend in one, as these little baits will catch big fish. Testing has been hampered by consistent rain, with the water looking like Willy Wonkers I can hardly see the lure in the water.

I'm behind again also so I will get you a 50g bait when I finish up the 100g bait orders.

If I could steal a phrase from the trolling world " Elephants do eat peanuts ".
