I hope they are better than some other dodgy copies that are available. The printing on them looks similar to the KOMACHI rubbish that was around a while ago. I bought three of those and two sank without hooks!!

I agree.

I refuse to buy copies, lack of imagination, lack of ethics and trying to make a quick buck off the coat tails of someone else's hard work.  >:(

they're just such unashamed copies!  :D  I have no idea what the price is like but many of these copies actually sell for more than Herus do. I can't even begin to understand why people would pay that.

Btw, has anyone been out to Otto's at Drummoyne and seen their popper range?! Otto's carries some decent stuff but there is no shame in this world - they're carry copies of River2Sea Dumbbells except that they're the biggest Dumbbells in the world. The popper is so big and the cup so huge that I'm not sure that you could pop those things with a Patriot Fire Vortex. I think they're beyond the casting weight of just about any popping rod made. Couple that with what looks like dreadfully poor wiring and cheap components and you have a surefire recipe for success   ::)

Yeah that is where I saw the fisherman copies Brandon, at Ottos....those huge jumbo R2Sea copies are like 375gms and they are stupid sized, the balance would be hell to cast

insane

I've seen those huge useless looking things - they're hilarious aren't they!  I think all they are good for would be a novelty trophy on a trip or something like that.

Does anyone reckon they'd have even tested them before putting them up for sale?!

Not the weezels, Neale - we're talking about the mega-dumbbell replica

And that one you just posted is their copy of the Craftbait GT2. What an innovative company - copies of the Hammerhead, Sea Frog and Craftbait
