not too exotic but a double hookup we had on poppers.

Just managed our first spaniards on poppers last week as well - and when it rain it pours, 5 in about 30 minutes...makes for exciting fishing when they are launching a metre and a half out of the water directly at you with the popper in their gob and the tail still going like crazy!

Travis, did you lose any or many poppers to the spanos? I will know by this afternoon whether or not I am heading to North West Island for a long weekend this weekend. Matt

Didn't lose a single one Matt.  We were using a fast retrieve and from memory most were hooked on the rear singles (attached by split/swivel/split (splits through where rings on swivel would usually be)). 

Fingers crossed you get out to North West, would be a sweet weekend...we're yet to get out there but it's on the list.
