INTRODUCED IN 1996, THE MEGABASS POP-X BREATHED NEW LIFE INTO THE OLD-STYLE POPPER CONCEPT, ADDING A GILL SYSTEM AND AN ATTENTION TO DETAIL THAT IMMEDIATELY SET THIS LURE APART. WH ILE THE CAREFULLY CRAFTED CONTOURS AND HAND-FINISHED PAINT JOB MIGHT DRAW YOUR EYES FIRST, THE REAL MAGIC LIES WITHIN THE MEGABASS ORIGINAL SIDE-STEPPING BALANCER (PAT.) SYSTEM, WHICH ALLOWS THIS POPPER TO TRANSFORM INTO A WALKING-STYLE BAIT WITH SHORT TWITCHES OF SLACK LINE. THIS PATENTED TECHNOLOGY FEATURES A FIXED TUNGSTEN WEIGHT AT THE TAIL AND A SPHERICAL TUNGSTEN BALANCER TOWARDS THE FRONT THAT MOVES FROM SIDE TO SIDE. THIS CHANNELS THE WEIGHT’S MOVEMENT LATERALLY, COMBINING THE SPITTING ACTION OF A POPPER WITH A TRULY UNIQUE ROLLING-DOG-WALK ACTION. OF COURSE, THE MEGABASS POP-X CAN BE WORKED LIKE A REGULAR POPPER, BUT UNLIKE A CONVENTIONAL POPPER—WHICH ONLY SPLASHES—THE PATENTED GILL SYSTEM OF THE POP-X HAS TWO SLITS THAT ALLOW FOR WATER TO PASS THROUGH, CREATING A MORE ORGANIC SURFACE DISTURBANCE. IN ADDITION, THE MOUTH OF THE POP-X IS DESIGNED TO MAXIMIZE THE SPITTING DISTANCE THAT CAN BE ACHIEVED WITH EACH TWITCH, RESULTING IN CONSIDERABLE WATER-DISPLACEMENT. FOR BEST RESULTS, TWITCH THE MEGABASS POP-X SO THAT IT MOVES ABOUT THREE INCHES AT A TIME. AT THIS PACE, THE POP-X WILL SPIT WATER ABOUT 10 INCHES, CREATING THE IMPRESSION OF A WOUNDED BAITFISH. EARLY MORNINGS AND CLOUDY DAYS ARE PARTICULARLY EFFECTIVE TIMES TO FISH THE POP-X. WE SUGGEST FISHING THE LURE AROUND GRASS BEDS, POINTS, OR DOWN SHORELINE COVER.
