Some of my Megabass Lures
Some of my Megabass Lures
I love Megabass lures. I think I have a pretty decent collection and if it wasn't for me wanting to buy rods and reels, I would have a hell of a lot more. I do know that my collection is a baby collection compared to some others that I know of and I know a couple of guys that collect Pop X's and Pop Max's so I thought that I would be different and I started collecting Baby Pop X's. I'm not sure how many I have but I am sure that I have over 100. I am mostly proud of collecting the ones that have a Fur Finish. I have no idea why other than I like it and I think Yuki Ito is a marketing genius.I don't think that I own a Pop X with a Fur Finish and I think that I have 1 Pop Max with a Fur Finish. None of my Pop Max's are in the pics. When I was collecting Pop X's, I knew there was no way that I would collect every one of them but I thought that there was a possibility that I could collect all of the ones that were made specifically for salt water. I think that I did that but I gave one away during the holidays so I'm short one. The special thing about salt water Pop X's is that they all have Kanji writing on their back. None of them have tail feathers either. With all of the Megabass lures that I own, I actually have a favorite. It is a Special Color Pop X in Peacock Bass that will never be used and a close second is a color called Green Coach Dog.

I have 24 still in the package Fur Finish Baby Pop X's and I have others that are not in the package.
If I have a favorite Baby Pop X, this is it. This is Hot Shrimp RBII. It is an Australia only color and I had to get it from Australia.
Megabass paint jobs can suck. I was using this one over the weekend and when I was finished, I noticed that it was chipping. This is the last time that I will use one with an actual paint job. Luckily for me, I have a spare.
Here are my Megabass Prop Darter 80's. I need to spend more time with these because they are a cool little top water prop bait. I have caught exactly 1 fish with these and it was a beautiful Redear Sunfish.

Impressive collection!
I didn’t even know the Baby Pop-X exist in Fur Finish.

Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
how do you find the action while still in the packages?
difficult to get a good hookset?

Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
I really hope every one of you live long, good lives, but I still dream of finding a collection like this at a yard sale/estate sale. Would be very rare where I live, but occasionally it still happens around here. A man will have built an amazing fishing collection, either gets too old to use it or passes away, and the wife or kids don't fish and get rid of it.
Aside of daydreaming of finding a collection like this to buy, that is an amazing one. I haven't got any of the Siglett's, but they look identical to cicadas I see on the water here. Saw a guy on a fishing show clean a smallmouth one time that was FULL of them.

Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
Thank you for the nice words. It would definitely be nice to find a nice collection at a garage sale or Estate Sale etc. If it were mine, I would be hoping that it would be bought by a fellow member of Tackle Tour that can appreciate what they found.DirtyD64 wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 10:11 amI really hope every one of you live long, good lives, but I still dream of finding a collection like this at a yard sale/estate sale.

Sigletts are great. To be honest, I have not had a chance to use the Nano Sigletts yet and I have never used the Tiny Sigletts for fishing. I have however caught LM Bass using Sigletts and Grand Sigletts. The regular Siglett is easy enough to cast but I would recommend buying the Grand Siglett because it is definitely easier to cast and it is still pretty small. They can twitched or crawled or both and they are very effective.
Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
I bought a waterproof, deep Plano 3700 and filled it will JDM jigheads and a few USDM cranks. It is my "extras" box, and more than likely I will never use all the stuff in it. I figure one day, hopefully distant in the future, someone will get it and be very happy.John G wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 4:46 pmThank you for the nice words.

Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
I'm not really a Megabass fan, but I own about 35 lures from them. I used to catch many bass with Pop X in the late 90s. The best lure they have ever made (to me) is Giant Dog X. After 25 years, I still use it regularly, and have probably caught over 2,000 bass with it. One of the best walking baits for sure.

Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
I love throwing the Dog X, in either the Sliding or Walking model. Or the Margay Stepcat. I enjoy fishing that bait a lot too.
It seems the baits I get bit on seem to get discontinued.

Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
I think you need some megabass reels to go with this collection
Re: Some of my Megabass Lures
I've have owned a couple different models of Megabass BFS rods over the years and a couple of Zonda 68's. One of the BFS rods was a Kirasami model that I don't regret selling and I owned 2 of the OG F2-60X Criffhangers that I do regret selling and I wish that I would have never sold the Zonda's.
