Fisherman poppers

Karl Nelson:
Hey all,
Purchased some fisherman poppers the other day. First impression was the wiring seemed to be a bit rough, not finished properly.
Anyway, knowing that these lures are meant to be some of the best on the market i gave them ago.
Managed to get out on the weekend and throw them around. Landed one fish on a Fisherman S-POP 200, after releasing the fish i noticed the wiring on my lure had been totally compromised. Stretched, pulled through the lure leaving it loose and useless.
I realise that these lures get a work out when fighting fish and damage dose sometimes happen but for the price you pay for these lures i was expecting a little bit more quality. Or is this just a one off. looking at my other fisherman poppers the wiring looks very similar. Is it just me complaining or has this happened to someone else?
Other than that they have a grate action and get results.

Karl.

Kasey Leong:
Karl,

They have great action and results. But with regards to the wiring (and finishing) you will not be the only person to have this happen - although this is a very extreme example after only one fish

Brandon Khoo:
as Kasey said, it is pretty extreme for that to happen after one fish but what happened to you is not uncommon. If you want bulletproof wiring, you'll need to get Fullscales.

Michael Adolfsen:
from my last trip to the andamans i had a masterd bomb stretch the wire 1cm.
1 fish 30 kg and around 10 smaller.
 1 hour with 10 Gts and then i had to take it to the museum of dead lures.

Graham Blackmore:
Can they be rewired?
