Megabass PopMax – Next-Level Topwater Performance

The Megabass PopMax topwater lure ups the ante of the well-respected Megabass Pop X, with a larger body and redesigned gill-system that delivers unmatched surface action.

Unique Gill System Technology

The PopMax features a patented gill system with six water intakes and an internal water chamber, creating life-like bubbles and chugging-action that triggers aggressive strikes:

• Side intakes channel water through the gills and out to the sides, creating a unique splashing/chugging action on the surface
• Lower intakes channel water into the internal chamber and out below the PopMax, generating enticing bubbles and disturbance
• Lip-like function utilizes water pressure to keep the lure grounded, preventing skipping so you can work it faster
• Auto-pause action – when paused, water flows out causing the lure to raise its head and survey its surroundings

Versatile Retrieve Options

The Megabass PopMax can be worked as a conventional popper, and with gentle rod-tip action, it will roll-walk dynamically, combining the winning elements of both poppers and dog-walkers in one premium lure.

Prime Fishing Conditions

For best results, fish the PopMax around rocky or riprap banks, over grass beds, or on shallow points during low-light conditions—early morning or late evening.

Specifications:

• Weight: 1 oz
• Type: Topwater Popper/Walker
• Target Species: Bass, Pike, Musky
• Premium Megabass construction and finishes

Keep your soft plastics organized and in prime condition with the Z-Man Bait BinderZ specialized storage system designed specifically for the unique needs of ElaZtech superplastics. This rugged binder is engineered to prevent the chemical reactions that can occur when ElaZtech baits come into contact with traditional soft plastics, ensuring your gear stays tournament-ready.

The Bait BinderZ features a zipper-free design and heavy-duty, corrosion-resistant rings that align perfectly with the pre-punched holes on standard Z-Man bait bags. This innovative "file-system" approach allows you to flip through and access your baits without even removing the bags from the binder, making quick color and profile changes effortless on the water.

Key Features:

• Custom Ring System: Features nickel-plated or zinc-plated rings that fit the pre-punched holes on standard Z-Man bags for secure, easy-access storage.

• Durable Construction: Built from 500 denier nylon for long-lasting performance in harsh saltwater and freshwater environments.

• Bait-Safe Storage: Specifically designed to keep ElaZtech baits separated from other soft plastics to prevent melting or damage.

• Internal Clear Pocket: Includes a transparent internal storage pocket perfect for organizing jigheads, leader spools, and terminal tackle.

• Zipper-Free Design: Modernized with plastic snap closures to eliminate rusted or jammed zippers, ensuring smooth operation every time.

• Compact & Portable: The standard 9" x 9" size is ideal for grab-and-go fishing trips or keeping your most-used baits handy in a boat compartment.

• Expanded Capacity: Also available in a Doublewide version (17.5" x 11") for anglers who need to store up to 20+ bags of plastics alongside more tools and tackle.

Two legends, one bait. The Strike King KVD Drop Shot Half Shell was co-designed by Kevin VanDam and Mark Zona to solve a specific problem: getting finicky bass to commit on a drop shot. The 3.5-inch large-bodied profile gives fish something to key in on, while the flat bottom keeps it perfectly horizontal — right in the strike zone. Twitch it and watch the erratic darting action do the rest. Open Pour Technology (OPT) and a distinctive laminate finish mean the color stays sharp and the plastic stays tough, pack after pack.

Key Features

• Co-designed by Kevin VanDam & Mark Zona — tournament-proven drop shot profile
• Large 3.5" body — bulky profile that gets noticed in the water column
• Flat bottom design — stays perfectly horizontal on the drop shot rig
• Erratic darting action — triggers reaction strikes from pressured fish
• Replicates a reaper worm — one of the most effective soft plastic shapes
• Open Pour Technology (OPT) — distinctive laminate finish for lasting color and durability
• 9 baits per pack

The Picasso School-E-Rig Extreme Bait Ball gives bass anglers a multi-bait umbrella-rig platform for building a schooling-baitfish presentation. Developed in collaboration with Casey Martin, winner of the 2013 FLW Lake Chickamauga event, the Extreme combines industrial-strength spring wire, 75-pound-test snap swivels, and an embedded 90-pound-test nose swivel. Each package contains one rig.

Present a Group, Not Just One Bait

When bass are tracking baitfish, the Extreme lets you build a coordinated spread instead of presenting a single soft plastic. The original product information describes a broader five-version family spanning a three-wire, six-bait configuration through a seven-wire, sixteen-bait configuration. This listing has three selectable models, detailed below; wire count should not be treated as hook count.

Choose this style when the school-like presentation is the goal. The tradeoff is a more involved setup: every added head and plastic affects total weight, clearance, and the way the spread swims. A single swimbait remains the simpler option when you want fewer components or less room is available around cover.

Choose Your Configuration Before Adding Baits

The listed choices are a 5-inch, five-wire Finesse model; a 7.5-inch, three-wire model; and a 9.5-inch, seven-wire model labeled “9 dummies.” Use those model differences to plan the presentation, but do not infer unlisted dimensions or included accessories from the name. The exact dummy attachment type and complete accessory contents are not specified here.

Match the completed rig to your rod's casting rating. Include the rig itself, every jig head, and every plastic in the total. The snap-swivel and nose-swivel test ratings describe those components, not the casting weight or a guarantee for the complete setup.

Keep the Spread Swimming Cleanly

Start with a short retrieve where you can see the rig. Check for crooked plastics, tangled wires, or baits contacting one another. Once it runs cleanly, use a steady retrieve and adjust countdown or speed to reach the intended depth. Change one variable at a time so you can judge its effect.

Best for: freshwater bass umbrella-rig fishing, Alabama-rig-style techniques, and schooling-baitfish presentations around open water, points, and structure edges. Choose it when you want multiple bait positions and room for the spread to work. Dense vegetation or snag-filled wood may favor a more compact, weedless approach.

Build Out the Bait Positions

For hooked jig-head positions, compare Picasso Smart Mouth Gamakatsu Jig Heads in Shad, which are designed for School-E-Rigs and other castable umbrella rigs. For hookless weighted bait positions, consider Picasso Smart Mouth Dummy Jig Heads. Check attachment fit and your desired balance before assembling the entire spread.

The Keitech Swing Impact 3.5-inch is a soft-plastic option to compare. Match the plastic to the selected head and hook, and verify clearance and action on the finished rig.

Hardware Behind the Presentation

• Multi-bait castable umbrella-rig platform.
• Developed in collaboration with Casey Martin.
• Industrial-strength spring-wire construction.
• 75-pound-test snap swivels.
• Embedded 90-pound-test nose swivel.
• Three listed configurations, with one rig per package.

Tackle Express Tips

• Assemble and test one configuration before changing head weights or plastic sizes. A clean-swimming spread is the starting point.
• Inspect every snap closure and the nose connection before casting, especially after a snag or fish.
• Check current official regulations for the water you fish before deciding how many hooked and hookless baits to use. Neither a model name nor dummy positions establish compliance.

How many rigs come in the package?
One rig per package.

What are the swivel ratings?
