Spopper wanted

[Brian Timson]

Some great refinement. I would be interested in the Mk 3 turbo version when available. Good work all.

Mk 3 turbo version

What’s that then Brian?

 

[Brian Timson]

Just going along the lines of cars etc Progress made in making the spoppers some good ideas and refinements, I am almost tempted should one be available

I've got a few midis available if Richard doesn't. £13 incl 2nd class post.

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Pull his arms off at that. I won’t make them that cheap that’s for sure.

Ill have one, if you send me the details on I'd appreciate it. Cheers

Next step in the evolution.
2.2 oz unloaded midi.
Yep you heard me right!!! A midi spomb that can put down a nice bed of bait in a few casts from your own barbel rods.
The minis are great but if you want to get a bit of bait down on the slightly bigger rivers and taking a spod or power rod isn’t an option then this is the tool.
It needs more holes that’s for sure. The sink rate without them is twice as slow I’ve tested and proved that now. Fully Loaded you can keep this thing under 4.5 oz and certainly put it across most medium sized rivers with a 2lb tc rod
Btw I haven’t the time to make more but speak with Eddie and I’m sure he can get some the same weight in the bfw shop.

Used that one you supplied me with on Tuesday @Richard Isaacs , 7 casts, 7 successful 'dumps'. Many thanks.
BTW...much easier to fill with bung hole enlarged. Didn't need a funnel of any kind.

I currently have 3 white Spoppers available in the BFW shop and have an order in with Eddie for more...

 

[Richard Isaacs]

Got these things looking very close to a “properly manufactured product” now.
by that I mean quite standardized and every time looking the same.
im getting quicker now too. (Probably not as fast as Eddie mind )
i still think If I’m being really picky my lead casts could look a little tidier but overall I’m very pleased with these.
popular things ain’t they. I don’t have them 5 minutes and they are claimed For and I’m a chunk more expensive than the bfw shop.

@Richard Isaacs Deburr those holes in the body and i'll give you the full 10/10 (seriously, they look great, and in carpy green none the less )

I’ve been round those holes ten bloody times with a sharp knife I swear those burs grow like weeds

I used a countersink. Sorted.

 

[Eddie Bray]

I use a soldering iron with a pointed bit, this throws up some sprue which I cut off with a scalpel (a sharp knife will also do). Gives a really clean hole both sides.

Fine on metal. It ruins plastic imo.

Both yours and Eddies are excellent. Far far better than the muppets trying to sell them ebay for £30 each! (hope it's no one on here )

The fox ones on eBay look reasonable quality from the pictures.
