Richard Isaacs spopper. Now sold

[Alec Hague]

With Richards permission I list a spopper I bought from the batch he made early last year. I have not used it and see no prospect now that I will . I paid £31 delivered. If anyone would like it just shout with amn offer. Only got one.

 

[Richard Isaacs]

To help Alec a little bit with some details, it’s built on the genuine mini spomb and is a total weight of 2oz. These are super lightweight little Spoppers that can still get a lot of bait down with the use of your normal barbel rods and minimal disturbance.
It was one of these

Take advantage if you want one because I won’t be making more for quite some time

 

[Alec Hague]

Thats the fella!

 

[Paul Richardson]

Very useful piece of kit - takes up no room and casts like a bullet. I use a lot more than my larger spopper as that really needs a heavy rod to cast accurately, and I’m always trying to take less gear not more.

 

[Kevin Brown]

Used mine a lot last season !

 

[Martin Osmond]

How much do you want including postage @Alec Hague ?

Not looking for a profit.

Sorry mate, just read it properly and you said you hadn't used it.

I'll give you what you paid.

Never even seen one before, this is all new to me but I'm intrigued and they look quality.

Pm you now mate.

 

[Alec Hague]

They are indeed quality. No rubbish from Richard!

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Shhhhhhhhhhhh

They’ll all want one

 

[Alec Hague]

If they do, whats my cut? Ha! Only sorry my plans didn't materialise Richard so I failed to use.

No apologies necessary Alec. I really don’t mind how many times they change hands.

Never used one, do they just open up on the surface impact on slow paced waters, or do they hit the deck?
Might be interested in giving one a go if ones comes available?

I hope they hit the deck, it's what I assumed when I bought it.

Should have asked I guess

I will let Richard answer that. But if you change uour mind Martin just say.

 

[Alec Hague]

It's the plunger being depressed which operates it, so must be at the bottom but anyway I am sure Richard will extol its action. But again, happy to refund.

 

[Martin Osmond]

A normal spomb opens on impact so I'm pretty sure this will sink, appreciate the offer though mate.

 

[Richard Isaacs]

They are an excellent invention created by the sadly recently passed Christophe Pelhate and David chambers.
2 amazing barbel anglers both unfortunately not with us anymore.

They are sinking spombs that are designed to replace the bait dropper. They cast like arrows, hit the water with minimal disruption and sink like bricks. Your bait is deposited on the bottom.

 

[Richard Isaacs]

I built these ones but the design behind them will always belong to Christophe and Dave.

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Korum copied them too with their “bopper”
