robster80 Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 anyone use these? good topwater bait? worth the money? Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 I bought one. Compared to a Rebel Pop-R, not worth the money. I've caught more bass with the Rebel. Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Gary Yamamoto as a good one as well. Caught a few nice keepers on it as well. Quote
robster80 Posted February 12, 2015 Author Posted February 12, 2015 yea ive been wanting to try some of these japanese lures and what not but wanted to hear from some guys who hav used em before i shell out 15-20 bucks on a popper Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted February 12, 2015 Super User Posted February 12, 2015 Look up KeepinItReelFishing's vid on it. I personally can't justify a lure that expensive but if I'd had some more money I'd come up with some justifications real quick . Quote
Eccs Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Look up KeepinItReelFishing's vid on it. I personally can't justify a lure that expensive but if I'd had some more money I'd come up with some justifications real quick . Here's a link for all you lazy people! I watched the video lastnight and I think I'm going to pick one up in the summer. Definitely seems worth it too me. I love the action compared to a Pop-R. Also no need to watch all 30mins but he goes really indepth into it and shows all aspects of the lure. 2 Quote
robster80 Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 o what the heck ill pick up one Quote
ColdSVT Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I got one a few months ago...cuz i am weak and i wanted one lol Cant wait to play with it Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I prefer the Pop Max. I use it as a walking bait and not so much as a popper. Great bait and you usually dont lose a topwater. Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 I just can't justify the price of their baits. Say you buy 10 lures. that's $200 roughly. I'd spend that money on crack before I do that. I will admit that my last Rapala purchase came in at that price. 13 lures, 14 if you count the 6 footer for the man cave. 1 Quote

That won't even get your fingerprints on the Roman Made case my man haha... It's all relative. If you can swing it, you can bring it. To each his own! I love Megabass. It's like art I get to catch fish with. Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 It's like their $1000 rod. THAT'S ART! I just don't see it for me. I've held one and it doesn't feel like $1000. It feels like my St. Croixs. Granted, the handle was not shaped for my hand... Quote
Super User kickerfish1 Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 Pop-x is smaller and lighter and doesnt have the open slits in the gill region. As noted above I prefer the weight, size, and action of the popmax. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 Check out the yellow magic popper. Available thru tw. Very good alternative popper. It's has caught some big fish. Quote

It feels like my St. Croixs. Granted, the handle was not shaped for my hand... Oh, agreed... That kind of stuff is pretty but I don't see it either. For $20 though, I'll go for a little taste of the good life here and there haha 2 Quote

As noted above I prefer the weight, size, and action of the popmax. The pop x has gill slits, but not as pronounced as the pop max. Quote
RustyShackleford Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Hasn't that saying gotten many men in trouble? Quote
Comfortably Numb Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Once again the Pop Max/x are very versatile unlike other poppers. Find them for $10-12 on Ebay. Quote
Cgrinder Posted February 13, 2015 Posted February 13, 2015 Yeah, don't pay retail. I believe it's also price-efficient to order direct from Japan if you're buying a number of them at once. Quote
Super User Master Bait'r Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 Hasn't that saying gotten many men in trouble? Yeah but it also got me a tackle box full of sexy JDM baits so it can't be all that bad Quote
Super User Senko lover Posted February 13, 2015 Super User Posted February 13, 2015 I do have an older Lucky Craft Kerrol popper that I just traded from someone. So I'll be trying that out this spring. Any of you use it as an alternative to the Pop X? Quote
Rodney Smith Posted June 24, 2017 Posted June 24, 2017 The Megabass poppers are definitely worth it. You don't have to pay retail. You can pick them up for $13-15 on sale. You can get them at Dick's Sporting Goods right now. I have never caught much on a Pop-R, but fish crush these things (the smaller Pop X and the Pop Max). Quote
