I can re-wire the popper... Karl if you are willing to send the popper to me I can repair this and get you fishing again. Has there been any damage to the lure body?
Karl, Since it was a pretty bad first experience I will do it for nothing just the $ for postage to return it to you. Hopefully there is a few guys on here that can vouch for me and my work ??? ;)
Graham Blackmore:
Its not a DIY job then?
Scott Maybury:
I have used the fisherman lures a bit, the s-pop 160 is actually one of my faves...I have found the counterweight at the back can become loose after a few fish, so that it rotates, but I have never had the wiring compromised or lost a fish because of problems with it, and I have a few that are so chewed up they are now sitting on the shelf at home, having run the gauntlet and made it to retirement
Jay Burgess:
Good to hear that you got out on the weekend Karl, how big was the fish that took this popper?

Yes and No Graham :-\
Depending on what tools and skills the DIY'R has to start with, for most the wiring is not to hard but getting clean and consistent results and sourcing the right products is where most stumble. Your technique needs to change for each lure manufacturer to get the best results and to work with the lures design.
If you want to know more Graham send me a PM I am happy to help out. ;)
