Topwater Caranx Ignobilis: Giant Trevally (GT) > Tackle & Techniques
Smaller chuggers that punch above their weight
Mark Harris:
Those are a bit bigger than I was imagining for this 120-130 gram discussion Luke, but totally agree with you. In their weight class GT3 150 and E-Cup are both great poppers.
Less keen on the Fishermans, but it is really the finish that puts me off (as you allude to). I have had the finish just fall off too many HP tails and Long Pens to ever want to buy another Fisherman lure (bar their plastic stickbaits which seem to be more durable).

Yup, you are right! I read a bit too quick neglecting the weights ::)

Who knows with Japanese manufacturers?! Fisherman bought back the Krog Bigmouth after something like six years1

It also seems that Skagit Designs have stopped making larger lures? I still see their small stickbaits and minnows around the stores, but the superb larger Pump Kings seem to be no more :( .

Hammerhead C and D cup (I love anything to do with a C cup or D cup), cubera 125, Ebipop Ext 120 and Craftbait GT2 all definitely happy performers for me. Especially love the GT2 and C cup, cast like bullets and super easy to work properly to get some water shifting
Mark Harris:
You mean the GT2 120 gram Scott? Definitely casts very well (as does the 150) and bloops beautifully in calm conditions. It is a bit of fair water friend though I find, and tends to skew easily and even cartwheel when the conditions get a bit choppy.
I have never used any Hammerhead smaller than a E Cup, so really appreciate the heads up on the smaller ones....
