Personally!
The little River2sea bubble Pop 45 is perfect for the job, cheap too!

Did you try the wire cage lure SPESS?
Care to join me SPESS, assuming you have an innovative mind and can come up with 10 or so different home made lures and would like to feature in the minivid and even a possible fishing article?
We might need some of your special burley to get em firing first though.

Big W
Check out the Berkley poppers in Big W under $5 each, I got a few from there for the Murry cod we fish for and they managed about 25 in 1 day biggest went about 3 kilo's , also used then off the rocks and got a few herring on them as well , my son loves flicking them out on his drop shot and has a ball with them .
I have also made a shit load on my lathe from about 20mm up to 300mm monsters , just waiting for the right weather to get out and try them out , having a lathe really gets your creative side working , shaping lures with different faces, length and width is fantastic and then using different woods so they weigh and float differently certainly makes for some fun , then there is painting diff colours etc WOW.

Bassday crystal poppers are
Bassday crystal poppers are awesome on herring, they are a transleucent body with silver flecks through-out. They are sinker popping but work a treat. Failing that River2sea Bubble pop 35's or Yozuri EBA poppers(just new out) have been working well.

Does any have a pic of the Bassday Crystal Popper?
It would be good to see how big it is!! Would you need a light 2-4kg bream rod to cast put these poppers or can a 5-8kg rod cast them out too?
Cheers.. Jangles
