Based on a hand-carved original by Yuki Ito, the Megabass PopMax ups the ante of the well-respected PopX with a larger body, and redesigned gill-system. In addition to the PopX's gill openings that allow for water to pass through and create life-like bubbles, the PopMax also features a unique gill system that consists of six water-intakes and a water chamber. Four intakes channel water through the gills and out to the sides, creating a unique splashing/chugging action on the surface, while two additional intakes channel water into the internal chamber and out below the PopMax. This generates enticing bubbles and a surface disturbance that bass can't resist. The intake system also acts like a lip, utilizing the water pressure that is pushed through the lower chamber to keep the lure from skipping across the water, and 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 PopMax to raise its head and survey its surroundings.
The PopMax can be worked like a conventional popper, and with gentle rod-tip action, the PopMax will roll-walk dynamically, combining the winning elements of both poppers and walking baits. For best results, fish the Megabass PopMax around rocky or riprap banks, over grass beds, or on shallow points early in the morning. Available in a variety of proven Megabass colors, Megabass also recommends fishing the PopMax on 18lb Megabass Dragon Call fishing line.
Upgrade Your Treble Hooks!
Comments: Best popper i have ever used. I picked up two of these for my trip to NC and i was blown away on how well this popper works. I was fishing a clear lake at depths around 4-10' and they would smash it on a long cast. Using a 6'10m Expride, Curado 151hg, 50lb powerpro and really short 20lb fluro leader. I had more luck on the perch color than i did with the sexy shad color. I see some people complain about the hooks but i had no issues with the hooks. I only had one fish come off and that was because i did not set the hook fast enough. Definitely worth the $20.

Comments: Great bait. Not only catches fish but big ones too. Unique popping sound with bubbles and life like action. One problem, priced too high!
From: Chris: Chino, Ca 6/17/23
Comments: One of my go to poppers! It gives a different bloop as the gills are open allowing it to create air bubbles creating a different sound on pops. Ive caught ALOT of fish on this bait and usually their nicer ones! Hookup is very good as well just make sure they have the bait before setting the hook!
From: Josh: Belleville, Canada 11/2/21
Comments: Had one for years. I didn't like the cheesy rattle. I recently started using it after it sat on the bench forever. It walks like a dream, casts 1000 miles, and catches fish. The rattle is still kind of silly but it works.
From: Jason: Unknown 8/30/21
Comments: This popper is my favorite, so far. It pops, but its secret ability is its walking ability. It won't attract as many bites, so if you're looking for something that will catch as many fish as possible then it's best to look somewhere else. But this popper gets the quality fish, not the quantity. Surprisingly, I caught my largest Crappie at night on the Black Orochi *(maru -> for those you Naruto fans out there).
From: Naruto - Delhi, CA 8/26/20
Comments: Great bait. Got it in the GG wild gill color, the chartreuse marking on the head makes the bait very visible to the angler during the retrieve. This popper walks like a dream, second day using it I caught a 4.11 as well as a few 3's. Gets quality bites. Highly recommend.
From: Unknown 8/20/20
Comments: Amazing bait keeping it real I've had / have poppers that spit better .. but none catch bass as good as this one . I agree this bait is better then the Rio rico .. that's saying everything.. a must have is the white python . Looks to have some u.v coating on underbelly and bass just smash this bait.From: Dean: Las Vegas 5/31/20
Comments: The paint job on the Pop Max is top notch but I was amazed at the crappy light wire hooks that came on these. A $20 lure should come with quality hooks and split rings. I'll certainly fish the ones I bought after upgrading the hooks and rings but probably won't be buying any more.From: Steve: Illinois, USA 5/9/20
Comments: After you upgrade the hooks, this is the best popper on the market.From: Dave: TX 10/4/19
Comments: BEST DAMN POPPER EVER MADE! Better than the Rico, better than the yellow magic, better than the zell pop! Pop it, walk it, make it spit, blurp, gurgle and watch it get HAMMERED on the pause! Easier to walk than a spook, in fact it Roll-walks. Only downside to it is the light wire hooks. Actually I fish it on 10-12lb test and a crankbait rod. That soft tip keeps them from throwing the bait on a jump. Buy a couple in a few colors! You won't regret it! Expensive sure, but it's a topwater and worth every dime!
From: Jeremiah: Atlanta 1/9/19
Comments: Best way to discribe this bait? Take your normal run of the mill popper and add all the bells and whistles..its like comparing 2 cars. 1 starts and runs and gets you from point a to point b...this thing? It's that same car just with all the pops, gulps, bubbles and plops...Looks? Jesus, best I have ever seen. Flawless, realistic and exactly what it looks like in the picture.If you pop, get this one you will not regret it.
From: Olman: Swfl 12/21/18
Comments: A little expensive but it worth it. I bought the bass color and it awesome: caught ton of fish, it have good hook and quality paint job. Walking it very easy and i love it, but too sad I stuck it in a tree.
From: Dink Bass: 6/5/18
Comments: I thought 20 bucks was crazy for a popper, but after using it I can say that it's worth every penny. Most poppers can only do one or two things well, but this can do everything very easily. When I tried walking it, it was almost effortless with a very pronunced walk. When chugging and popping it it made good noise and never fouled. I will be buying more of these very soon.
From: Noah: Vancouver, WA 2/12/18
Comments: This is a pretty good popper I caught one of my personal best largemouth bass on this lure a 8lber at a lake that is so heavily pressured if it was a pipe it would burst. The name of the lake is powderhorn its outside of chicago il. Lakes in illinois suck the state does not stock them or maintain them, unlike states such as texas , florida, alabama , california, ect. This popper is worth the money like Rico's.
From: maple mauler 11/8/17
Comments: At first I thought I was crazy buying this thing for $20, but I went out to pond just to test it out and first cast was an instant 3lber. After that I have caught so many bass from many sizes. I recommend the baby bass color. I've even caught a catfish on this lure!
From: Hunter: Flower Mound, Tx 10/3/17
Comments: My go-to topwater lures are Sammy's and the Gunfish. This was my first Megabass purchase and all I can say is Wow! The first day out I continually caught fish with the PopMax (and the smaller Pop x). In fact, I have caught not only bass, but I had a catfish come up and take this lure! I was using the Black Orochi color. For right now, I will have the smaller Pop x tied to a spinning rod (casts a mile) and the PopMax tied to my topwater rod. I love it because you can pop it or walk it. It is one of the most versatile baits I have ever used. These lures are works of art, but more importantly, they catch fish! They are expensive, but worth every penny.
From: Rodney: Gainesville 6/30/17
Comments: I used the white python color at a local pond & caught an 8lber on it followed by a 3 & a 2. Like the other guy said about the price, I agree. I was hesitant to get a $20 lure (also a teen) but the reviews were good and they look so cool. I'm glad I did too. One of my favorite poppers now and I plan to buy another.
From: Andrew: NC 8/26/16
Comments: This popper is absolutely phenomenal. I've caught 5lb bass on these from morning dawn to the end of the day. Being a teen it's a little hard to come up with $20 just for one lure but I intend on buying a few more. Worth the money.
From: Spencer: NH 7/12/16
Comments: My favorite popper, caught around 30 river smallies in 3 days on it. Great paint job just flat out catches fish. Paint job can chip if banged up against rocks or obviously by fish.
From: Brett: USA 1/2/16
Comments: This popper is by far the best top water bait I have ever thrown. I use pumpkinseed & GG bass & they are phenomenal. However, this is more of a walking bait than a popper, but that doesn't bother me because it still catches the fish. I have been using this bait all summer & it has caught well over 200 bass & it has held up great!
From: Richard: St. Louis, MO 12/19/15
Comments: Another go-to bait in my tacklebag. unbelieveable detail to bring out that realistic look. Throwing the Pumpkinseed color. nothing better than a top water blow up!
From: Jason: WI 9/13/15
Comments: I love fishing topwater and invested in the pop max in the French pearl color. It is a DECENT popper. It will catch fish but don't expect to be able to work this bait fast even when trying to walk it. For some reason, it wants to jump out of the water when chugging. Also, this bait is terrible fishing in any current. The bait wants to sink when trying to work it. Bottom line, I would think really hard before purchasing another one of these because I believe there are better poppers for less money such as a zell pop or a g-splash.
From: Drew: AL 7/30/15
Comments: Great bait. Good finish, easy to work with a great sound & the fish really like it. Doesn't catch as many fish as a Rico popper, but the fish it gets seem to be larger which is to be expected when stepping up to a magnum popper.
From: Steve: MD 6/2/15
Comments: I have two of these lures amazing pop to it, I'm a young angler and I got this lure but, I got my uncles to buy one of these, and they absolutely love these lure, I get slammed on these, I love MegaBass reliable quality, Definitely buying more MegaBass
From: Austin: Midlothian, VA 1/11/15
Comments: this is my go to for top water.this thing not only catches bass but the stripers boil for this thing..i use the bass colors and tend to work this bait very fast works better for me
From: Chad: Rancho Cucamonga, CA 9/17/14
Comments: Amazing.. I didn't want to like this bait as I personally think Megabass charges too much for a bait. Boy I was wrong though! First outing and got 4.25lb bass out in Northern Illinois lake, which is brutally tough due to bucket heads. Great great action paired with highest quality paint job. I will definitely need to try out the xpod jr as well! oh and it casts SUPER! Give it a shot if you're not close to me ;)
From: Toshiya: Elk Grove Village, IL
Comments: Great bait! it pop very good, but it walks effortlessly. You get what you pay for with this bait. First time out got a 4lber. This pooper will put other poppers to shame.From: Ryan: USA
Comments: The best top water popper that ever will be made..Im catching bass after bass of big south fl largemouths some as soon as it hits the water...i got the chartruse back bass color and its killing them..best paint...best multi action popper on the market...
From: Lee: FL
Comments: GREAT lure! I have used it on about 5 trips and I have caught several big bass and a ton of otheres. The biggest I have caught on it so far was a 6lb'er. I have the PM Gill color and it comes with a chartruse trailer feather and it just gets hits, its that simple.
From: Casey: East Texas
Comments: My favorite work of art from Yuki Ito. The best popper I've ever used.From: Tom: Rome, NY
Comments: Hard to find lure, bought one on an expo in Michigan, best top water plug ever...masterpiece!From: David: Leon, GTO, MX
Comments: I LOVE THIS BAIT!!! One of the best topwater lures out there, you can walk the dog with it, and impart some crazy action out of it when you play around with it!! Just lost one tonight to a very big Northern Pike!! Awsome bait. Up north use leaders!! And yes, they catch big bass too!!
From: Mr. Bond: East Lansing, MI
Comments: These are the best topwater baits you can buy! Help me to land a 7lb bass on the third cast of the day.
