what whas this popper??

[fishyman]

i was in BCF at browns plains a few weeks ago and saw a little popper on the shelves but i cant remember what type/brand it was.

it wouldnt have been bigge than 50mm and it didnt have a skirt thing on teh back treble. it was failry intricatly carved around the head of the lure. i thought about buying it for a bream popper but didnt have the money anyone have any suggestions on what it was?

thanks in advance

was it a river to sea bubble pop?

Yeap I'd say it was a river to sea bubble pop 50.

They arent the 50 size but their the same thing pretty much just smaller.

Except the River2Sea ones have the tails on them:unsure:

[fishyman]

The link i posted are river2sea and they dont show the hooks. Fishyman said the ones he saw didnt have tails.

[fishyman]

yeah i didn think they had tails but maybe i was mistaken casue i think the ones you posted up fisher were the ones they were really small and im sure thats them maybe they did have the tail i cat remember that well. sorry if i was mistaken.

and what is the point of teh tail what is it sposed to do, ive neve fished a popper with a tail

This isn't my picture (its Dan23's, I saw it in an old post) but River2Sea have a unique package. Was the packaging on the mystery lure like the lure in the top left of the pic and two lures just below that one? They are both bubble pops, just different sizes.

[fishyman]

the package wasnt round, but im sure the popper had those holes in it where the gills are. i dunno im going back on wednsday to stock up for the BRC so ill have a look then and report back.

thanks everyone for their help i am probably not remembering correctly

well thank you and ill post the result in here on wednesday night hopefully if we can get there

River2Sea bubble pops are actually copies of some other more expensive brand. I'll see if I can find it.

Was it a Megabass POP-X? Here is a thread where Kiara_poltegerist explains alot about them http://www.australianfishing.com.au/index.php?option=com_kunena&Itemid=237&func=view&id=17214&catid=45#17214

Here is what they look like. They are 50mm (2.5\") but again, they also have the tail http://www.landbigfish.com/tacklestore/showcase.cfm?PID=552

I'd put money on it being a strike pro. They are very similar to the bubble pop but don't have the tail. I'd get the bubble pop though they have a way way way better action.

wouldnt have been a megabass cowfish, dont stock them at bcf
