With all the anecdotal evidence coming out from the Ryukyu Islands (southern Japanese islands home to famous islands such as Tokara and Amami etc) of Japanese popping anglers having to deploy more cunning/smarter techinque and tackle to fool big GTs - has anyone noticed any kind of this pattern happening elsewhere? My first thoughts would be no since popping is such a niche sport in itself, however, i would love to know if there are any areas that have begun to experience this kind of behaviour.
