How Big is Big?
Sam Morrison:
Hey,
I am a small time lure maker and have a question for the GT fishermen out there...
How big is big when it comes to popper cup faces? I make a range of poppers but I want to go crazy big, but no point if you can't fish it ???
So, what is BIG? and fishable... 50mm, 65mm, 70mm + ?
Any input is appreciated... ;)
Christoffer Hansen:
50 is big, 60 is massive! Not many blokes will work a lure with a 60mm cup for longer than 15min sessions effectively. Will need to be around the 200gram range too so it doesn't pull out of the water. Keen to see what you come up with.
Cheers chris

Thanks Chris 8)
61mm it is then! ;) I will have to spin something up and see how it goes... 200g is easily achievable. Thanks again for the input, I have yet to fish for GT's personally so every bit helps. ;)
