A highly appealing popper that can draw bass in from a distance

1. MEGABASS Popper: Building a Strong Position with Unique Popping Sound and Duct System

When it comes to MEGABASS, the POP MAX stands out alongside the ONETEN as a popular choice. Its appeal lies in the natural and unassuming popping sound, coupled with the stabilizing dog-walk action created by the natural water flow at the rear. Additionally, the exquisite paintwork that resembles MEGABASS's unique real fish patterns is sure to catch your eye.

The POP MAX was introduced in 2004 as the next-generation version of MEGABASS's renowned natural-style popper, the POP X, which was originally released in 1995. At the time, most poppers were in the 60-70mm size range, making the 78mm POP MAX stand out as a larger option.

However, the POP MAX isn't just a size increase; it also features several differences in internal structure, characteristics, and applications compared to the POP X. Let's explore these distinctions in the following paragraphs.

2. High Appeal Power to Draw Distant Bass

Due to its high center of gravity design, it rolls prominently during dog walking, exposing its belly to the surface and creating a strong appeal that can be seen from a distance. Additionally, it contains internal weights that slide left and right, allowing for precise and stress-free dog walking despite its size.

Unlike POP X, POP MAX has a horizontal floating posture, which makes its splashes larger and creates a lively commotion on the water surface as it swims. Please check out a video of how POP MAX swims to see it in action!

With an internal rattle that produces a delayed, clacking sound during pauses, POP MAX generates a noise loud enough for anglers to hear. This volume makes it possible for bass that are further away to take notice of its presence. As we've seen so far, POP MAX is designed to have a strong appeal over a wide area compared to POP X. Furthermore, its larger size, weighing 1/2oz., ensures excellent casting distance, making it a valuable asset for shore anglers. It's a lure that excels in situations where you want to attract bass in large open areas, in murky waters, or when bass are highly active and responsive.

3. Choosing Between POP MAX and POP X: Drawing Bass from a Distance with POP MAX and Precise Targeting with POP X

Comparing the Features of POP X and Its Original Version, POP MAX, and When to Choose POP MAX.

POP MAX is larger in size and heavier, allowing for longer casts compared to POP X.

In terms of action, while POP X excels at a natural and precise enticing action, POP MAX has features such as built-in rattles, large rolling motions, and a relatively flashy and wide-reaching action. Despite being part of the same series, these two lures have opposite characteristics. Based on the previous feature comparisons, here are some suggested situations to use POP MAX:

1. When the field is wide, and bass are scattered over a broad area
With its excellent casting distance, you can efficiently search a wide area. When you feel that bass are swimming scattered in a wide range, use POP MAX to take advantage of its appealing features such as its belly-turning rolling action and rattling noise to attract the bass.

2. When targeting highly active bass after recovery
Bass that have relatively recovered after the spawn have a heightened feeding desire and are more receptive to topwater lures. Use POP MAX proactively to entice them.

POP MAX and POP X are lures from the same series, but they excel in different situations. Having both of these lures in your arsenal is undoubtedly a wise choice!
