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 […]
Showing Pressured Fish Something Different One of the biggest takeaways from forward-facing sonar isn’t just what we can see now — it’s what it’s taught us to unlearn. Late-season bass and bait don’t always follow the textbook migration we grew up hearing about. As Jacob Walker points out, shad aren’t guaranteed to push all the […]
Phil Meyer Wins Big at Lake of the Ozarks with the Sleeper Craw Phil Meyer took home $100,000 at the 2025 Big Bass Bash on Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks — and it almost didn’t happen. If not for a hunch about location and a last-minute tip to lean on the 3-inch SLEEPER CRAW, the […]
Answering Kimura’s Call After years of relying on the 6-inch Megabass MAGDRAFT—both the pre-rigged version and the FREESTYLE—for tournament success, legendary lure designer and Elite Series veteran Kenta Kimura pressed the Megabass design team for a downsized 5-inch model. He knew there were times when bass keyed in on smaller forage, and he wanted a […]
When you think of New York pro Alec Morrison—2025 Redcrest qualifier and Toyota Series champ at Sam Rayburn—power fishing might come to mind. But behind the big wins and bold casts lies a different kind of weapon: finesse. In particular, Morrison has become a quiet force in the realm of hover strolling, a subtle-yet-deadly technique […]
