Smaller chuggers that punch above their weight

As you will see from this discussion there are relatively few lures out there that fit this description. I think more and more GT anglers are interested in this end of the chugger market. Certainly the newer rod developments would support that assertion.

Thanks Mark 8)

I'm surprised no-one has mentioned the Heru - GT Mania, (130gm) similar to the older Jai big head. The GT mania has a lot of presence and has seen some minor refinements more recently. I really like this lure. I also second votes on the Heru - Tuna 100, and skipjack 120gm, always in my bag.

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....

Yeah the GT2 that is 120gm or so. I don't have too much trouble with it in sloppy water provided you time your bloops and keep the rod tip lowish. It can skip a bit but it is so easy to get working again that it is not a big drama. The benefit with these smaller poppers is you can work them with the rod tip low and to the side without too much effort so you can keep them in the water easily
The smaller hammerheads are really nice, I like the C cup a lot
