Various types of top water fishing lure parts made in Japan

Color Chart

The introduction of the POPX in the mid-90's changed the world of top water games, and was one of the first Japanese lures to demonstrate the cutting-edge, premium craftsmanship of the young Japanese industry. The unique water shockwave created by the specialized cup design, intelligently constructed "Spit and Splash," and the extremely responsive rolling dog-walk action are all essential to defining the POPX's success. The POPX has approximately 10 different original motion patterns, and countless hand-painted finishes. The POPX is a killer bait that has been proven to excite the most timid and easily spooked fish time and time again, in challenging fields throughout the world. Like all other Megabass products, the POPX was inspired, designed, and produced in Japan. However, as one of the first Megabass lures to be sold outside of Japan, the POPX has a special place in our hearts, and the hearts of anglers around the world. Please tie on a POPX today, and experience Megabass through the eyes of the original Japanese popper.

•Water Duct PAT.
Excess water caught by the cup is sent through a duct and channeled out the rear. Along with a lively popping sound, the expelled water also creates bubbles, enticing bass that are lurking deep below. In saltwater applications, the water flow expelled from the ducts during high speed retrieves helps maintain the lure's stability. 
♦Not too light, not too heavy: the perfect weight ratio to grab the water
The POPX has a large impact and presence for its size, capturing the attention of fish below the surface. The body is constructed with a custom resin tuned to the same density as wood, for an exceedingly natural presentation. This is evident by examining its behavior in the water, namely its wake and its responsive movements. Not only for dawn and dusk, the POPX will perform excellently even under the midday sun.

The Megabass design philosophy is not only based the concept of “form follows function,” but also on the concept of “form follows emotion.” The katana that a samurai wields is not only razor sharp, but is beautifully fashioned through Japan’s exceptional traditional crafting techniques. It not only has exceptional performance as a tool, but exceptional aesthetic value as a work of art. The craftsman pours his soul and pride into the sword, and the samurai wields it with pride and soul. The katana is not a tool to slay enemies with, it’s the soul that spearheads your path in life.

 All of Megabass's products are created at the hands of pro angler and designer Yuki Ito.

♦High quality product: Japan Made
Our lures and rods have received the Good Design Award, which is given to designs that enhance the development of Japanese industry and quality of life, every year since 1997.
♦MEGABASS COSMETIC
Originally, the paint used on Ferraris was Rosso Corsa (Ferrari red) made by the Glasurit Company of Germany, known for their cockatoo logo. After that, the paint was changed to what is still used today, and according to enthusiasts there is a discernible difference between the two different paint coats when viewed under sunlight.
Megabass uses various cutting edge paints and traditional paints alongside various cutting edge production methods and traditional production methods. The new and the old are exquisitely intertwined in this flexible production environment, made possible by retaining direct control over the factory and production facilities. An extraordinary amount of skill and craftsmanship is poured in to the process as we convert lifeless chunks of metal and resin into lifelike products with dazzling finishes. Even seemingly simple-looking lures undergo many stages of painting and finishing.
