Just found your channel and after watching it, HAD to subscribe. Will try it for sure here in South Africa. Looking forward to more of your content. Tight lines!
Have you played around with different hooks a little more over the year? I have just modified mine as per your video. I would like to see if I can find some thinner wire hooks for a little weight savings and maybe a little more natural presentation . I ended up with owner 1/0 round bend trebles hooks and cut one of the hooks off. The wire on these things are thick heavy duty wire and working with a spinning rod in medium action I think I would do a little better on hook set with a thinner wire hook. Something like the original hooks but in a bigger size.
Absolutely, but I run a pair of cut doubles, I often run a pair of cut doubles on Hula Poppers if im missing small fish, but you get killer splashing without that front hook. Im kinda day dreaming about trying a 3/0 Gamagatsu Frog Hook on one. Black/Blue/Black 3/0 frog hook over flooded grass and trees

Dude SA is on my traveling bucket list! If you are missing fish on these add another cut hook up front, sharpen the hooks and smash down the barbs.
I’ve used a Hula Popper for decades and still do .
what hooks do you eventually upgrade to? or do you sharpen regularly?
Old school. I refurbished a couple of fly rod Hulla Poppers for smallmouth. Love those things.
I had a fly rod for a bit and enjoyed it. I would like to re-learn to fly fish out of a kayak and do exactly as you said
@@AdventureAllan23 it's a blast, especially for river Smallies.

I totally agree that a lighter wire = better hook up. I havent played around with it much. I moved, so I have had far less time on the water
Have you done this type of hook modification on a Jitterbug also?

Keep it forever. With the new ones, what colors did you go with? I wish they made one amber metal flake
