My Mood: Rep Power: 6 | Thanks Squidgie... I know Campbells carry them but it's probably 2xs more costly down under! I bought a couple for under SGD$20 sometime back... trouble is, the shop doesn't carry em anymore. I'm hoping our buddies in Malaysia can locate them for me. |

My Mood: Rep Power: 6 | Lod... cos they're CHEAP and they're NOISY plus the cast GREAT Everything a GT angler needs in a popper  Okay so they tend to break at the neck and the wire around its belly area tend to rip easy... but if I use a single treble @ its tail, it should fix all the above mentioned problems!  |

I never spotted this lure here in Indon either. But, luckily in here we're easy to find some good popper, locally made. Cheap and good.....  Will buy one or 2 if I happen to find this dumbell, though. cheers, Lod. | |

My Mood: Rep Power: 6 | Re: River 2 Sea Dumbells Word of caution for those who are planning to get Dumbells... DO NOT attach hooks to the mid section because the wire will get ripped out from the lure's wood body. Happened to two of my Dumbells before and the fish wasn't big I like it for the affordable price, incredible casting and super loud popping action. A single treble at its tail is probably the best way to prolong a Dumbell's effective working life
