{"product_id":"megabass-popx-2-1-2","title":"MEGABASS POPX 2 1\/2\"","description":"\u003cp\u003eIntroduced in 1996, the Megabass POP-X breathed new life into the old-style popper concept, adding a gill system and an attention to detail that immediately set this lure apart. While the carefully crafted contours and hand-finished paint job might draw your eyes first, the real magic lies within the Megabass original Side-Stepping Balancer (PAT.) system, which allows this popper to transform into a walking-style bait with short twitches of slack line. This patented technology features a fixed tungsten weight at the tail and a spherical tungsten balancer towards the front that moves from side to side. This channels the weight’s movement laterally, combining the spitting action of a popper with a truly unique rolling-dog-walk action. Of course, the Megabass POP-X can be worked like a regular popper, but unlike a conventional popper—which only splashes—the patented gill system of the POP-X has two slits that allow for water to pass through, creating a more organic surface disturbance. In addition, the mouth of the POP-X is designed to maximize the spitting distance that can be achieved with each twitch, resulting in considerable water-displacement.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor best results, twitch the Megabass POP-X so that it moves about three inches at a time. At this pace, the POP-X will spit water about 10 inches, creating the impression of a wounded baitfish. Early mornings and cloudy days are particularly effective times to fish the POP-X. We suggest fishing the lure around grass beds, points, or down shoreline cover.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MEGABASS","offers":[{"title":"GG BASS \/ 1\/4 OZ","offer_id":44542777753713,"sku":"0000510039","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"MAT SHAD \/ 1\/4 OZ","offer_id":44542777786481,"sku":"0000542206","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0987\/3624\/files\/POP-X_-_GG_BASS_new__1.png?v=1789728067","url":"https:\/\/www.themightyfish.com\/products\/megabass-popx-2-1-2","provider":"The Mighty Fish","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
