Guys,

Is anyone planning on giving this bad-boy a go, when their released? Was scheduled for a 2011 release, but was delayed in production.

338g - That's a Big Lure!

Cheers Ben

Mark Harris:
A 240 mm lure weighing 338 grams??!!  Bloody hell.  An awful lot of that weight must be metal weights inside I guess?   

To put that in perspective a Long Kong popper is 260 mm and weighs 180 grams.

Peter Childs:
Instead of an internal wire......its got a cut metal plate!

Doesn't look like much on the surface......... but that underwater footage is gold, specially the GT take!

Not sure I've got a rod that would cast it........bring out the popper cannon!

Andy Rowe:
Try the Trebuchet..

Hey guys,
               I got one of the original 20 that were made off one of the guides at nomad and I never put it on the scales but it certainly didn't feel like 338g to me. I was using a widowmaker to cast it and it did it easily, much easier than a icup with 10/0 trebles. It actually cast pretty good considering the shape it flew straight and far. They're designed to be worked with short pops and personally I didn't think much of it at all. It pulls out of the water really easily if you try big bloops even in pretty good conditions. I was hoping it was gonna be the monster popper to lure the big one up from the depths, but instead was very disappointed and gave it back. Someone mentioned something bout craftbait should make a 220g gt3 and I think that is the lure to look forward too!
