Gareth Branicki:
Hi it's been quite a while since posting but teenagers finishing school 1 first yr uni cuts into
Fishing time and discussions. I still do a fair bit of lbg tuna etch and gt fishing however
One place from land has large gt but they tend not to hit the the big poppers kongs , masters bombs ,hammerhead cuberas some hooks up on sinking stick baits
But there is a big long tom population snagged heaps apart from the fishermen long pen 170
suggestions in regard to long stick baits or thin long poppers that will imitate the long tom also reefs edge and narwhal sub sufacepopper. Advice really appreciated cheers gareth

Brandon Khoo:
There are no stickbaits that are made to imitate the long tom as far as I know. Carpenter have been working on one for a few years now but not quite there.
One lure I have had success with when long tom are active is the Fisherman ParaParo. This is a combination popper/pencil and when worked well, very effective on GTs.

Gareth Branicki:
Brandon hadn't seen that lure thanks for info I was looking at long pen and hammerhead tobi or there popping pencil hadn't hear off fishermen paro paro.
But long large stickbaits I have very little knowledge off and rarely use so any advice long stickbaits would be good such as the aswb 170 gr.
Cheers Gareth
