Title: Strange colors for Fisherman poppers
Post by: Mahmoud Salem on July 25, 2013, 07:31:08 AM
Hi all
I got theses poppers from Japan at a good price, but when I checked Fisherman website I didn't find the exact colors, I highly doubt they are copies because the finish is very very good
I do appreciate any help from those more familiar with fisherman poppers

Long pen 100

Mahmoud,

The long pen is "Year of the Tiger"... A super cool series of lures based around Junishi (sp) or the Zodiac Calendar.

The bigmouth looks like a candy floss? or for a lure maker using the remaining paint before changing out colours, this way you minimise the paint you waste. The pec fin is unusual? The big mouth is copied a lot out there in the lure world.

Someone on here will know.

Thanks Sam for your reply, I think if they copy lures with such a high quality, they desrve to have their own line; this is exhausting adn must be expensive to produce
