An evolutionary upgrade to the respected PopX, the Megabass PopMax is based on a hand-carved original by Yuki Ito. The PopMax features a larger body and a redesigned gill system. While it shares the PopX's gill openings, which allow water to pass through creating lifelike bubbles and a chugging action, the PopMax features a unique gill system that has 6 water intakes and a water chamber. These intakes channel water through the gills and out the sides, creating a unique splashing/chugging action on the surface, while 2 intakes channel water into the water chamber and out below the PopMax. This generates bubbles and creates a disturbance that garners the attention of passing fish. This system acts like a lip, utilizing water pressure that is pushed through the lower chamber to keep the lure from skipping across the water. This system keeps the lure grounded so it can be worked faster. When the lure's paused, water flow out of the chamber causing the PopMax to raise its head, as if to survey the surroundings. Work the PopMax like a conventional popper and, with gentle rod-tip action, the lure will roll-walk dynamically, combining the winning elements of both poppers and dog-walkers.
