Adhek Bali

Mokhtar, Faiz, Pak Adhek, your truly, Bukit

My good friend Adhek Amerta of Bali. He is the owner of Adhek Sport Fishing (ASF) which produce the legendary Adhek Bali poppers i.e Gecko, Ocean Lady, Bell, Goby, Mars, Venus and its latest swim bait Penipen. I have the chance to visit his house a.k.a factory to see how its poppers were made.
