wooden poppers/stickbaits splitting

Another vote for the Jai bighead.
They create an awesome amount of commotion on the surface for a lightish lure. Cast really well also. I was out recently testing my new chug norris' and found the Jai much easier to pop.
The reason it's as cheap as it is though is down to it's rather ordinary finish. Trebles cut it up after a couple of retrieves but I found it didn't swim right with a single on the belly. But I guess the fish don't care if it's scratched up or not. I'm assuming it'll water log quicker than some of its more expensive completion though.
It's still super effective at raising fish with that big cup mouth though.

Hi Brett,
All mentioned are worthy of acquiring...don't discount the larger Sebile Splasher models...maybe even the Yo-Zuri Sashimi Bull Poppers would do.
Tight Lines !.

As others have said, there are good established brands in the lower price ranges. You do not need to go the route of Chinese "ebay specials". That so often ends badly as you have discovered. The wood will split easily and also the wiring and swivels are often not up to much.
The Jai lures from Thailand are decent enough.
Heru lures in their various different brandings have a superb long term record and the Heru Cubera in particular has close to legendary status in GT circles. Made In Indonesia.
A little step up from both of those finish-wise is the Adhek range, also made in Indonesia and well represented by dealerships in different countries.
