extreme fisherman Posted January 12, 2012 Report Share Posted January 12, 2012 I have a trip to Micronesia coming up in two months ,so I'v been trying to get a bunch of stuff done . I need to have two dozen for my self and another several dozen for my three friends . Im super excited about this trip I will be there for three weeks and we plan to do some surf fishing for GT and other gnarly critters .These are epoxy sealed and have four coats of clear and have 600# swivels . The hot colors where we are fishing are silvers,blues,pinks and reds . Made these from AWC and they are 4 1/2 oz unrigged , I made the eyes with a few different sizes hole punches and some vinyl tape My first "Nemo" pattern . The eye are made from real abalone and are 1 inch in diameter This one is made from ERC and is 5 oz unrigged [img= Pink is AYC and is 4 1/2 oz un rigged http://i1129.photobucket.com/albums/m505/ExtremeFisherman100/IMG_0977.jpg] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jmac Posted January 13, 2012 Report Share Posted January 13, 2012 Those poppers are big and beautiful. Great "tropical" colors too. Is that a fungia coral skeleton the pink popper is resting on? I had a live one in my reef tank for many years. <"}}}}>< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RI Popper Posted January 18, 2012 Report Share Posted January 18, 2012 I saw these on the other page. They look good. I've got a question for you on eye placement. Why put them so high up? If these are floaters will the fish see them? Just curious.
