midnighthrasher Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Is anyone using these? I think someone mentioned them. If so what color is working for you??? Seem expensive but i am willing to give em a try if someone else has had success. Quote
SmokeRise1 Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I've never tried one myself, but a buddy of mine that I fish with had a bone colored one that he swore by. He lost it and tried to replace it with a bunch of other poppers but couldn't find anything. Might have just been a confidence thing but I know he is going to shell out some dough this spring on a bunch of them. Quote
Super User T-rig Posted January 15, 2010 Super User Posted January 15, 2010 All more or less the same thing: http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=3020&name=YELLOW http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=902&name=YELLOW http://www.ichibantackle.com/showproductdetail.asp?productid=129&name=MICHAEL&manufacturename=TIFA http://www.basstacklemaster.com/Lobina-Rico-p/lobinarico.htm Quote
Blue Streak Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 I have only heard good things about them and I will be trying them this spring. Quote
barroncooper Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 they are worth their weight in gold. I like the bone color and japanese shad. my father said they're no different than a pop r till we fished one morning. outfished him 7:1. evrybody i've ever talked to says the same thing..." I don't know what the deal with them is, they just catch fish plain and simple" Quote
bassman31783 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Absolutely love them. My 2 best colors are Bone & Smoke Shad. Quote
Primus Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 If I could have only one topwater bait this would be it. I've done well with the Bone & Bream colors. Quote
rebeav Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 Out fish Pop R's and catch good fish with them too. I personally change the hooks to a larger size and I like to put one of the VMC Sure sets on the tail end with a feather on it. The top portion of the bait is wider than the hooks meaning sometimes they blow up on it and when I'd set the hook (with the factory hooks) it would be nothing but air. Well the hooks are what I blame for it anyway. I like the Tennessee Shad and the Bone 1/2 oz. They have them at bass pro - cant post active link yet sry. Quote
Pantera61 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 I'm a fair to middlin' topwater angler and the Rio Rico showed me nothin'. I like the 1/2oz Pop R and I'm happy they were put back into production. Megabass' Pop X is also a strong producer. The Yellow Magics that come from Japan are NOT the same as the ones that are sold by distributors in the States. One of those deals where the some guy trademarked the name. Quote

-ebby- Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 are the ones at tackle warehouse the real ones? Are they the good ones is the main question? Quote
Pantera61 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I'm doing some follow-up now. Will post ASAP. The original information came from a Japanese vendor website. Quote

The description has changed so I don't know what that means. Is it a the same? Is it different? Make up your own mind, look at the package though. Quote
bassdoctor88 Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 Bone and Tennesee Shad................. I also use Don Iovino's Splash-It http://www.***.com/descpage-DISI.html Quote
Blue Streak Posted January 18, 2010 Posted January 18, 2010 This did not answer my question, but they were very quick with a reply. I am not knocking Tackle Warehouse it is one of my favorite places. The Yellow Magic Poppers are actually now assembled in China. Please e-mail info@*** or call 1-800-300-4916 and one of our customer service representatives will be happy to help if you have any questions or concerns. Thank you for choosing Tackle Warehouse.

Super User Wayne P. Posted January 18, 2010 Super User Posted January 18, 2010 The Yellow Magic is "Japanese Designed", assembled in China. It states that on the lable inside the box. That could mean it is actually made in China, Mexico, Indonesia, India, etc. and then assembled in China. Kind of like a Honda is "Japanese Designed" and some are made in the USA. Quote
PezJunkie Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 Alewife is my go to yellow magic popper Quote
