Title: FCL SPP poppers
Post by: David Sharples on February 02, 2010, 09:59:32 PM

Hi all

Does anyone use these at the moment? They're a pretty good price and they could take their place alongside Cuberas as a standard lure I don't mind losing..

Any comments regarding how long they last, how they fish, if they catch fish?

Hi David,

The FCL SPP is a great lure but bear in mind it swims more than pops.  It has been one of my go to lures of late.  Much easier to work than a big blooper but more presence in the water than a stickbait.

We are actually having dinner with Tsurusaki san tomorrow night and we will be discussing some new colours for this lure.  We are in Japan at the moment but when we get back we will post some photos,

Cheers,

Duncan

Cheers Duncan, just bought four of them so will see how they go!

If they prove to work I'll have to grab some of the new colours off you when you get them.

Hi Nathan

Do you think they're meant to do that or is that a design fault? Were you using heavy trebles to keep them keel down?
