Imakatsu MJ Pop 3DR #487 Black Bear Cicada

The Imakatsu MJ Pop is a jointed topwater popper that uniquely combines powerful popping sounds with a lively, tight walking action, overcoming the traditional compromise between these two actions. Its innovative rear-joint design and strategic weight placement ensure stable, long casts while significantly improving hook-up rates in deep water.

Key features

• Rear-positioned joint with precise weight balance for straight, long-distance casting
• Deep cup produces loud, low-frequency popping sounds effective in deeper water
• Flat-sided body creates intense flashing during walking action
• Underside rear hook eye reduces cover snags and improves hooking performance
• Upright floating posture enhances action consistency and strike detection

Best for

• Targeting bass in deeper water with a loud, attention-grabbing presentation
• Fishing tight to heavy cover like reeds and weed lines
• Anglers seeking a single lure that covers both popping and walking techniques
