You mean, 2 backups... rightttttt?! lolTeal101 wrote:Nice! I'm trying to find a backup for my bleeding whitePen3 wrote:Two #67(Flash chart/yellow skeleton) and one #244 (Emerald Shiner). I actually missed the restock and those 3 were the only ones left and i bought all 3 of course.
Re: My Megabass Pop-x addiction
As much as i love the Pop-X, the One's Bug is just as good if not better. They are slightly fatter and more traditional design. They are just very hard to come by, especially the special colors. I recently got two of the #290 Smash Shad colors and they were killer on the lake. Evergreen got some of the best hooks and the replacements aren't priced bad either at $3.92 for a pack of 5-6. I have about 16 boxes of EG trebles because lately MB is using really low quality hooks

Re: My Megabass Pop-x addiction
I've had major issues with the EG trebles on the Showerblows. I changed em all out for Gammy EWG's and tied up my own feather trailers. I bent and broke every EG treble...Pen3 wrote:As much as i love the Pop-X, the One's Bug is just as good if not better. They are slightly fatter and more traditional design.

Re: My Megabass Pop-x addiction
Well they are light wire hooks, but super tacky sharp. We don't have wood and timber in our lakes so there is no need for me to horse fish out.

Re: My Megabass Pop-x addiction
They are sharp, but they seem to rust quickly. I bent all mine catching fish along rip-rap, they were plowing the bait though I bent out quite a few Lucky Craft LV trebles this year as well...even snapped one off.Pen3 wrote:Well they are light wire hooks, but super tacky sharp.

Did you even end up trying out that Lucky Craft lipless with a bladed back? The 50 Spin Blade Bait i believe.Teal101 wrote:They are sharp, but they seem to rust quickly.

Re: My Megabass Pop-x addiction
I havent, the LV-100 and LV-500 cover my bases so well I havent had the need to stray. I imagine it would add some good flash. Imakatsu has a new bait coming out thats similar and already have a blade bait that has a blade tail.Pen3 wrote:Did you even end up trying out that Lucky Craft lipless with a bladed back?

Re: My Megabass Pop-x addiction
Although my collection has thinned out (Needed to fund a reel).. i have kept all my very rare baits and i continue to slowly buy some baits that are very rare still. I was lucky enough to find a friend who knew a guy who knew a guy (seriously) that was in Japan that got me these... a little different from the ones above. Enjoy...
