Captiva Komachi and Yamoto Poppers

(1/2) > >>

Travis Heaps:
Bought my first poppers yesterday (besides a Gillies i've had for a while).  The brand is Captiva and the models were Komachi and Yamoto.  They both come standard with Owner ST76 trebles and 11H rings (I think theyre 11H - they're owner hyperwire anyway).  The box states "Australian design and Japanese technology". 

The Komachi is a 15cm cone popper with a black finish with chuncks of mother of pearl through it.  Pretty spectacular - and the finish commands and extra $10 on the standard colours.  It cost $AUS39.95.

The Yamoto is a 20cm rear weighted dumbell style popper and came in at $AUS29.95. 

The finish looks real nice, the eyes are a bit dodgy but overall they're pretty good.

The reason I posted up is because I couldn't find any info on either google or this site about them.  Anyone have any info?  For the price they seem bloody good (relative to some of the figures I see thrown around on here!!!)

Brandon Khoo:
I've seen these very recently but I've never used them before myself.

Peter Morris:
The poppers you are talking about were a compulsory buy for all the stores in the 'Tackleworld' group.
They are reasonably cheap and have good harware on them however I used them recently in Fiji and wasnt overly impressed with their action.
