Handmade Poppers crafted in NZ Thumbs Up



These are 2nd generation RAL "Bombers", those with 1st generation poppers will notice some small design changes... Fully locked S/Steel through wire, palm your Stella with confidence! Aerodynamic shape and tail weighted for great casting... "Western" rigged wiring for using large single hooks with only one split ring... 

Action- You can pop em', swim em' with some rod sweeps, or burn em' with a fast retrieve... The will go subsurface with a seductive wiggle/zigzag and a big smoke trail...

130mm long, 38mm cup... 110g un-rigged, One black lure is 95g un-rigged as it is slightly slimmer.

Suggested rigging - Owner JOBU 8/0-10/0 or ST66 5/0... If fish are crashing the head a SHOUT 7/0 assist off the front will sort em' 

SUNSET- Satin Gold / Brite Orange... Very faint scale fade... SOLD



PILLY - Blue Scale Fade/ Pearl Belly / Yellow Cheeks $SOLD


BLACK - Solid Black with a seductive sparkle! GT love em' $85 + $5 P+P 

95g-


110g-SOLD


Great baits, easy to work... Stick Baits are in testing so keep an eye out for these in the future...

Nice Sam,

The color schemes look great I think the bases are covered,the sunset color would make a great squid imitation.
 
These are very good on NZ kingfish guys,I had the original Blue Bomber and it caught over 20 kingfish before being reefed by a very decent fish..it became the first lure I would reach for each trip..we had alot of fun with it and it caught at least two people's first topwater NZ kingie's.
 
With a treble ST665/0 they weight around 110g from memory and swim very well,and cast like a bullet.
Sam has done alot of R&D and the product you see now is a result of dedication and passion for turning out batches of high quality lures - that DO work.
 
Here are some shots of the old skool Bombers,when I received a GenII version I was really,really impressed!
When compared to the new pics you will be able to pick up differences,and improvments.

Will these be available going forward, or just prototypes?

I'd be really keen on a couple of the big ones for the sluggish landbased Kingies.

Hi Aaron, 

Yes these will be available, these are just a refined version of a previous lure...My lures will never stay the same there is always small improvements or changes in my process...

They would work well for LBG and fishing them next to live baits is always a good idea.

The Kahawai coloured one is just beautiful in the flesh, Sam.
 
I can't wait to have a session casting it off the rocks some time soon!
