David Sharples:
Off to Musandam on the 20th September or so so I'll let you know how it works. Apparently they have a run of spaniards at that time of year, big fish at 20kg plus.. just hope I don't get too many poppers clipped off by these things.

Last time one chased a popper out of the water right at my feet. If it had been six inches higher my baby making days would have been over. As it was it smashed into the rail. Serves it right.

Brandon Khoo:
if there are a lot of spaniards around, they're going to terrorise your poppers. It may pay to add a bite segment of wire to the end of your leaders if you find they're stealing your poppers sp it may pay to take some wire along

Aaron Concord:
David,

I'm with Brandon on taking wire.
Single strand wire does a great job of flossing spaniard gums!
The flashy blade DOES make them more prone to the 'mack attack', though since it is at the rear, you are a lot less likely for a spaniard, or big GT to bite you off since they line the blade up pretty well.
