Anyone have experience with these? They are pretty cheap but I am wondering how heavy they are, how they cast, and if the finish holds up (probably not).

At only 5 bucks for a big surf popper, I wouldn't mind buying up a bunch even if they aren't super tough.

if these are the same poppers i'm thinking of(holographic finish) these things really catch. huge blues will annihilate them. you can work them like a pencil too and the bass will nail em.

oh forgot to mention. the hooks are terrible. you really need to change them. 18" fish bend em, no problem.

weigh in at 1.8 0z for 6.35 each so the smaller ones must weigh around 1 oz i would guestimate.

I have broken the jointed swimmers in half with bass, but they do work nice.
