I like the conventional shape I bet it casts like a bullet, a little like the Kathibe I am waiting to try out.
Is Adhek a Red Dragon fan, would have been a better name :P...
Mark Harris:
Red Dragon! I love it :) .
It does cast well for such a large popper Andy. The aerodynamics are not unlike Kathibe as you say, although the Big Buffalo is a chunkier lure.
Brandon Khoo:
hahahahahaha!!! Are you sure this is the fish you want to imitate?!

More seriously, Adhek always sets the eyes low on his lure so they are seen by the predator from below and believes that this helps for stirring them up.
Dmitrii - let me know when you have dates and we can certainly meet up.

Fair enough. But animals don't see detail the way we do. For example you can trigger a feed response in baby birds by using a pencil if it has a red strip in right place. Who knows what GT see and process but eyes are a big trigger for predators and they would be not expecting them on the underside - they just look wrong to me I am guess I am comparing them to every other lure I have seen (FCL puts eyes on the the tail end of popper and that make sense as an injured fish will sometimes float head down). Balance that against with surface lures the fish likely only see shadow and the makers experience (lightyears ahead of mine).
