Captiva Komachi and Yamoto Poppers
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.
