What can be the final outcome of the collaboration between two talented Lure Builders whose handmade lures have become so well-known, due to their success, in many Mediterranean countries and elsewhere. But of course crown jewel artificial baits, the looks of which alone can make even experienced spinners desperate in getting their hands upon.

The introduction above are for Kostas Kezoudis (KZ Lures), who lives and works in Cyprus, the one who conceptualized and created the very successful WTD lure KZ BR200, an artificial bait that has incredible success with Sea Bass, Bluefish, Tuna, Barracuda, Amberjack, even exotic species for the Mediterranean such as GTs (Giant Trevally). On the other hand Coeball, is a promising lure builder from Bali, who creates handmade, wooden lures for the predatory species that live in the waters where he fishes (Giant Trevally, Machi Machi, Albacore and large Barracuda).

The idea for the collaboration of the two designers, is an on-going project, that initiated two years before the release of the lures. During the process there have been dozens of changes, modifications and exhaustive tests both in Cyprus and in Bali to achieve the result that meets the high standards of both sides.

The KZ x Coeball lures, are made entirely in hand and with the use of 100% natural Paulownia wood. Paulownia is a tropical tree that grows mainly in East Asia and in countries such as Japan, China and Korea. It has also been planted in many European countries for commercial purposes, since it is a tree that grows very quickly. It is very easy to process and could be compared, in physical characteristics, with Poplar. It also has low maintenance requirements as a plant and increased resistance to insect attack.

One of the lures that resulted from this collaboration is the Popper 150F. Poppers are probably the easiest and least technical to work with, hence suitable even for a beginner, but they are no less effective than other lures, especially in specific catches. Poppers are best applied and can become effective when fishing for fish that chase the commotion on the surface. Such fish are mainly Bluefish, Seabass and mostly Tunas. The KZ x Coeball Popper 150F is a lure designed for heavy use and made to withstand the attacks of big opponents. The initial thought for its design, came from the need to create a purebred Popping lure, to take on large Tuna and Giant Trevallies. With a length of 15cm and a weight of 50g, its presence on the surface will be noticed from a long way off, when retrieving in the open sea with Boat Spinning.

Multiple layers of strong epoxy varnishes, enhance its resistance to predator bites, making it virtually indestructible. Its slim silhouette and short length, will not leave even the most cunning Seabass uninterested. The Popper 150F is addressing the needs of experienced spinners, who know their gear very well and will be able to manage its behavior in the shallows, without tangles. Any angler familiar with Popper lures, will find fishing with the Popper 150F a relatively easy task to handle.

The Popper 150F does not come rigged with Treble Hooks, or Single Assist Hooks, so you can select the combination of your preference. One suggestion will be to rig the lure with BKK Viper 41 #1/0 or the BKK Fangs BT663-UA #1. When it comes to Single Hooks one combination is the VMC Saltwater Inline 7266 4/0 , or 5/0 depending on the targeted predators.
