Megabass pop x vversus pop max

[Rodney Smith]

J. Franco,

You have my attention on the Megabass Pop X. What is you go-to color?

[J Francho]

Python.  It's easy for me to see in the water.

Forgot about this video.  Little Popmax cast to catch action.

I ended up buying the pop x, and it is well worth the money.  Walks as easily and tighter than a spook, spits, pops, it does everything and it does everything well.  I used it to set my current record for numbers a few weeks ago with 99 bass in 6-7 hours.

I can't catch a single bass on the pop x, but will throw on a Zara spook puppy and immediately start getting results. What retrievals are working for you guys?

 

Also, when I pause the Pop X, it turns heads up and the tail end goes vertically underwater almost 90 degrees. Is it supposed to stay horizontal at all times?

I ended up talking to a Product Designer at Megabass this morning and he was extremely helpful. He said that the Pop X should only rest at a 20-30 degree angle. Their customer service is outstanding and they are paying for shipping because they want to quality test it to identify the issue.

Poppers sit head up tail down.  Other walking baits sit flat.  The bubble walker sits flat as does the spook.  Sammy and the duo pencil baits rest in the same position as the popper when still.

The pop x is not designed to have the tail sitting very far down, only in the 20-30 degree angle to the waters surface as stated by Dorado.

 

 

@Dorado, I usually retrieve mine by quickly walking it in (occasionally making it spit works well also), sometimes with pauses and sometimes without.  I usually don't have to pause it.  People say that the pop x is no different than a spook if you walk it, but it has a very unique sound and action far different from a traditional walking bait.  You definitely have a defect, don't give up on them yet.

@IndianaFinesse   I definitely have faith in this lure and like how their staff handled things so responsively. Included a pic just as a visual. Thanks for the details bro.
