Anyone seen the yo-zuri / duel poppers called sashimi bull ? They probably arent GT strength , but would make a good light tackle popper. The unique thing is that depending on the angle, the colour of the popper changes, similar to those squid jigs that change colour.

hi,
i have seen it in tackle shops in singapore, my first thought was...it might not survive a barrcuda attack, just my 2 cents view
:)
-
Do you mean the finish, or the terminal tackle ?
-
nope, i meant e body of this popper, is plastic, i believe.
:)
-
not quite plastic....its made of hard Polyurethane type of plastic. Its similar to what the Halco Roosta Haymaker made of. So I reckon its plenty strong.
-
If its the same stuff as the halcos then thats fine. Halcos are pretty good value for money for light tackle work.
-
pardon for my ignorance here, but i thought Roosta Haymaker is made of wood?
i too love the Roosta Haymaker :)

No!

I love fishing with wooden lures, but in my experience plastic lures stand up to teeth a lot better than wooden ones.
Are these new yo-zuri lures a rebadged yo-zuri Surface Bull GT with a Candy paint-job?
-

true
Orions don't like it when you cast them against a cliff face. Mind you, that's sort of understandable........ ;D

Hi,
This is one of my favorite lure, long cast for its lite weight, strong enough, small or big GT loves it,Cought 23 kg GT recently with it.
U gotta need to change the split rings & hooks tho, I use 3/0 & 4/0 st 76 on mine.

Same material as a surface bull but the new foam material is twice as hard as the older material that the Surface Bull and Surface Cruisers used to be made of. 40kg+ GT no problem from personal experience. Big Yellowfin no sweat. These lures will last many fish. Haymaker is more durable as the plastic stands up to hits and does not pit like the Surface Bulls but I find the Surface Bulls draw more hits from more species.
