Title: Tsunami Popper Lure
Post by: Doug Terry on June 08, 2011, 10:36:05 PM

Anybody use these lures at 10usd they are half the price of some poppers I've seen.
 They do a 7" one that weights 3oz.
Being plastic how would they stand up to a GT.

Hey Doug,
I have had some guests use them.  They work ok, but mainly with a speedy retrieve like a pencil popper.  The hollow plastic is the problem.  GTs teeth puncture the plastic and the lures fill with water and sink.
