Aren't these poppers used to be called " Evolution " poppers from PR-Lab.com ?

Jon .

Chris Leong:
Hi Jon,

It's not used to be. THis is another line of poppers that were produce on an OEM basis. The evolutions are the flagship models of PR Labs. Those were another complete line of models.

AustralianAngling:
I spoke with manufacture of these lures at China fish. There was maybe 4 manufactures with similar styles, even a Japanese company purchase the bodies take to Japan paint and sell under Japanese brand. These lures are not balanced and do not swim very well as manufactures do not understand about lure balance. Last week I received email from a company and they have added weight to there lure after our discussions I await samples. Images of some of the latest releases.

Chris Leong:
Before this gets any further, i have to say, Owatatsumi poppers are certainly not made in China. Steve, which ever manufacturer you spoke to, is certainly not the manufacturers of Owas and Pr Labs. Have you seen the Owas in person yet?

I may not have as much water time as you guys here, i may not have as much Carpenters, orion or hammerheads as you guys here. But im sure i can tell the difference between a balanced popper with those that are made with no respect to the weight distribution. All the owas i owned swim the way it's supposed to be, pop the way its suppose to be. If you have seen the way the Pr Labs poppers are done, are you telling me the manufacturer does not understand how to balance a lure. Steve, thats a very generalizing comment.

I would say, the paint work on the poppers are almost second to none. They are as good as any other premium poppers. Just that the name is not as well known. Im sure, if i use an Owa popper in places like New Cal or in the Coral sea, i could catch as much Gts as any other premium brands. Besides, the poppers was tested in Maldives and New Cal before launched.

I shall not comment as much, but im very sure, Owa poppers are not made in China with no QC and research. Just because a brand name is not well known or endorse by some big time popping angler, does not mean that it's another copy made from China and used just because its cheap.

Chuen Fan:
Maybe the China made ones are copies of Owa poppers?
