Interesting looking lure... It looks to come in different sizes, weights, colors and materials(Plastic and metal and some with tail dressing .. Most seem to be metal (with your love of the kastmaster is what I assume drew you to them)... Which size and weight did you go with?... That pic you posed had split rings for hook attachment, and I don't think these come that way... Maybe he changed the hooks out.. Also the belly attachment point looks to have a ring attachment and the tsunami has a sliding wire attachment... Maybe a kock-off of the Tsunami?... Certainly worth looking at... Thanks for posting about it.

Butch,
This guy's catch photos got me thinking about the lure:

It's such a wacky looking thing, but videos of their movement are intriguing.
I have a 7/8 ounce on order, but will be looking at lighter versions too. My plan, after initial testing, is to switch out the OEM treble with singles and split rings. I bet I can get surf halibut to hit it.
Best, kastmaster

Thanks for that update… I still wonder about that belly hook attachment point… Definitely different than the one on the one on the Tsunami one.. Older version? Different brand?.. Looks like it catches fish..Good luck with it and let us know how it performs…

There is a Got-Cha lure that is similar to the Tsunami Zig-Jig-Pro

But I think it is a Bass Pro Offshore Angler Big Shot… Same split rings for hooks, and the belly hook attachment is the same…

Not a problem… Just went down that rabbit hole and couldn’t find my way out.

Did you ever get and use these things? Thoughts or results?

[kastmaster]

Forgot, yep, I caught perch and halibut with them. Can't say if the orange is better than straight chrome. Give me 25 more years of data!

Butch, sorry, I misspoke, I did not catch anything (yet) on the red and white pencil poppers. I was speaking to the orange and chrome kastmaster in this case.
