Anyone know where I can get a couple of carpenter Sea Frog poppers?. I tried one courtesy of the charter operator and while it took a little more effort to get it to work - it was lethal on GTs.
I tried my usual Japanese suppliers and none have stock.
?
Effort to work - what kind of other poppers were you using on your Fiji trip? Sea Frogs should be pretty easy to get good action/bloop.
Sea frog - once we learned how to work it - lethal.
Halco haymaker roosta -- very easy to use , esp for beginners and caught most fish (it was the most used )
cubera - had a bit more trouble but once we got used to it ,almost as good as sea frog- just not the same bite reaction for some reason.
the other lures were more pencil type but also caught fish.They were less effort to use but spent less time in the target water.
A stickbait style that was very effective was one of the Operator's: a clear resin skinny stickbait , front weighted and with holographs embedded in the resin. About 150mm long.Hand made by some bloke in Hawaii. We offered to buy from the operator but they were not for sale at any price.
So Many Lures on the market to try......
and I thought Jigging was expensive!!!!
