Hey all,
At the moment I think I have bought all the poppers I need for the Whitsunday's I have:
5 Rooster 135's
3 Dumbell Pop 150's
1 OK Popper 100g
1 Bubble Pop 110
1 Fat R
1 Backbone 100g
I was just wondering if I have enough poppers and the right poppers, I am popping with a Twin Power 10000, 50lb Braid and a 10-15kg T-Curve Bluewater.
If I have missed any poppers or need more (going for 10days by the way) please inform me.
Thanks,
Paul

shouldnt have any problems finding fish with a 10 day trip. take some spare braid tho, never know what might grab your popper. I suggest get a hold of some 130g cubera from fishhead or the 130g GT mania if you can find them, they work a treat up here in townsville. best of luck with your trip, look forward to the report.

Thanks mate,
I wanted to take bigger poppers like 130g and things like that but I think it will be too hard to cast those sort of poppers with the rod I am using. Whats your thoughts?

Yep I agree, the poppers you've selected look good for the 50lb gear you'll be using... go heavier and it might be quite hard to work them effectively.

has anyone ever used back bone poppers or ok poppers? they look good.
