Lucornia preparation - Part 2

Since i've landed n lost a few fishes on popping technique, the poison has started to seep into my blood somehow. Below are some of the poppers, stickbaits n lures I have in my collection, still a little uncertain on which to bring as I've been informed Crystal Coral's dinghy might not be in an operational state :( Pics below are some of my little investments into casting lures/poppers. Action matters the most especially when it comes to lures. Been using quite a few lures i.e. Jackson's Mr Dekai and Mangrove Studio Volador. Am quite impressed with them and still learning how to work em to the perfect action :)
