Sebile Splasher 240
Brandon Khoo:
I really am not a big fan of these poppers at all. You don't work them at all like a conventional popper because if you try, you'll be imitating a flying fish. Any attempt at a real pop sees these fly out of the water. You work them with these little flicks of the wrist. I appreciate that these are great for anglers who have never done heavy popping before and find working any decent cup sized popper exhausting.
Mark Harris:
I have one smaller one in my possession. It is a weird looking thing and I can see why it likes to fly. I hasten to add I did not buy it!
I had heard though that the Nomad guys were recommending these as the best thing since sliced bread? Is that because they get some less experienced customers and these work well for them?
michael north:
I believe nomad may have some connection with sebile. Don't quote me on this but I noticed it when I bought a rod from them, I can't exactly remember what it was whether it was on a receipt or how someone answered a phone.
Ben Rivers:
Nomad is the Australian distributor for Sebile.

I'm glad its not just me. After seeing all the hype behind them I went and bought one of the 190 size about 6 months back to use on kings down south. I thought it must have just been the rough conditions on the first try, but by the second go (in calmer water) I was convinced I must have had a factory second or something, spending more time skipping across the surface than chugging! I eventually gave up and binned it!...........So that's the trick hey.......not really what I had in mind when I bought it.
