About this piece
Megabass Baby POP-X is a compact 50mm topwater popper designed for finesse surface presentations. Originally introduced in 1996 as a multifunctional popper, it uses a unique cup face to produce a water-pushing action and a crisp splash sound that triggers reaction strikes from bass and other gamefish.
