Do large poppers = big GTs?

<< < (2/2)

Brandon Khoo:
I think we're very much on the same wavelength here. I don't think the actual size of the lure is the only criteria. It helps but you can to a degree replicate the commotion of a larger lure using blades off the tail instead of a hook.

With stickbaits though, I tend to use BIG lures like the Heru 150 or the big Orions. Plat has a absolute donkey of a stickbait called a Billy which I will try out again at Bugatti and I am much looking forward to trying the new Craftbait.

I do think the bigger GTs tend to be more ambush hunters unlike the smaller fish that chase everything.

Some small fish think they're BIG GTs.....

Yes, i agree. See Above. However, i still think a big profile can help increase chances of monster GT battle even more.
