Based on a Yuki Ito hand-carved original, the Megabass PopMax topwater lure ups the ante of the well-respected Megabass Pop-X with a larger body and redesigned gill-system. The PopMax features a unique gill system that consists of six water intakes and a water chamber, creating life-like bubbles and chugging-action. The intakes channel water through the gills and out to the sides, creating a unique splashing/chugging action on the surface, while two intakes channel water into the internal chamber and out below the PopMax, generating enticing bubbles and disturbance that will catch the attention of fish.
This system acts like a lip, utilizing the water pressure that is pushed through the lower chamber to keep the lure from skipping across the water, helping to keep the lure grounded so it can be worked faster. In addition, when the lure is paused, water flows out of the chamber, causing the Megabass POPMAX to raise its head and survey its surroundings. The Megabass POPMAX topwater lure can be worked as a conventional popper, and with gentle rod-tip action, the Megabass PopMax will roll-walk dynamically, Combining the winning elements of both poppers and dog-walkers.
For best results, fish the Megabass PopMax around rocky or riprap banks, over grass beds, or on shallow points early in the morning.
We recommend fishing the PopMax on the Megabass Destroyer F4.5-611X, Orochi XX F4.5-70XX or Levante F4.5-70LV
Fall bass fishing is one of the most exciting—and challenging—times of year for anglers. As water temperatures drop and daylight hours shorten, bass begin their seasonal migration, making it essential to understand how their behavior and locations change. Whether you fish natural lakes or man-made reservoirs, unlocking the fall transition is key to landing more […]
When it comes to bass fishing, there’s no single moment that divides pre-spawn, spawn, and post-spawn—it’s all a gradual transition. These periods overlap, making the timing of the bite anything but exact. But if there’s one thing experienced anglers can count on, it’s that the weeks right after the main spawn offer some of the […]
Outside the Conversation The world’s major design awards were built around architecture, mobility, consumer electronics, and medical equipment. Fishing tackle was never part of that conversation. Rods were judged by anglers, in the field, on terms the design world had no reason to examine. That changed in 2022, when the DESTROYER and COOKAI series became […]
https://youtu.be/6f1XE9iGUtw?si=9LloW94Eo8_DMs6B In April 2026, Megabass CEO and Chief Designer Yuki Ito achieved something no one in the fishing industry had done before: winning the Red Dot Design Award’s highest distinction, “Best of the Best,” for the LEVANTE bass rod series. The Red Dot Design Award — administered by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany […]
Replacing Urgency with Confidence In highly pressured fisheries, fish have become conditioned to speed. Fast-falling jig heads, aggressive retrieves, and predictable flash have become the norm. Often, that speed results in more follows and fewer commitments. For Arkansas guide and fly tier Daniel Roberts, the answer isn’t adding more action. It is removing it. By […]
Strolling Secrets: Origins and Essence Hailing from Japan’s ultra-pressured waters—including legendary Lake Biwa—strolling emerged as a technique to present minnow-style baits with understated subtlety. Rather than relying on the exaggerated, side-to-side thump of a paddle-tail swimbait, anglers turned to straight-tail plastics, gaining control over their bait’s every move. Utilizing the same jighead rigging as before, […]
