Poppers only , or stickbaits too ?

Cubera's are pretty popular and easy to get. More so than the fisherman and other poppers. Stickbaits can include Wahoos and Ulua's too. These all come in different weights too.

Thanks Andrew. The list starts. Poppers only at this stage mate.

Does anyone rate the big ones from Viva. They appear quite chunky

What do you want to target with them ? Are you looking at GTs up north or kings around the headland down our way?

If its GTs, you will need to make sure that they are wired up strongly through the body as well as having a good action.

Else others include Craftbait, Fisherman and Hammerhead....

Thanks everyone. Thats quite a list. I will now start building a collection of these. Does anyone know of a video or link to a clip that shows any of these lures being worked. Or whow how to work the rod for a good effect
