Hi Guys

What poppers or lures do you use for targeting kahawai on light tackle? And where do you get them from?

Cheers
James

Bought some jigheads from GoFish a couple of years back with a popper face on them. They're bright orange things. Got them in my tackle box for tomorrow's mission. Just whack a softbait on to give them some weight.




What's the cheapest type of meat? Dear balls. They're under a buck.

Try the smallest size River 2 Sea Dumbells or their small Wideglide stickbait which is a slow sinker.Also a big fan of the Rapala Skitterpop too especially in the mullet finish.Good luck.
