Smashed popper thread.
April 25, 2008, 11:42:26 AM
Hi guys,
I've seen some pics on this site of absolutely destroyed poppers and stickbaits and am having trouble finding them. I was hoping that if you guys have some pics of messed up lures, long lifed old favorites, that you could post up here it would be greatly appreciated.

Here's a couple I've posted up before.  Wooden lures don't last long on GT's, but they work well

Yes, Stephen has that luxury - makes all of us very jealous!
If it swims; I want to catch it!

haha, where are my manners.. I feel for you guys, I really do.  The blue and silver stickbait in the first pic caught about 20 GT's before I lost it.  Wish I got a pic of it when it was really stuffed - unrecognizable!.  I ended up using it more of a joke than anything but it kept getting hit. 

No G's up here for a while though - bloody wind!!  Here's a clip of what I've been doing lately - sacralicious!!

Sorry, this is a smashed popper thread, but, going over the picture, I still don't understand how the tip of the treble (bottom right) snapped off!

Thanks for sharing the pics guys. love em.
I've been preparing a popper for this thread but busted the thing off on a cast the other night! Just when it was looking the goods! I'll find a pic of it half way through it's life and post it up.
