Description

A full-sized jointed popper that combines two unique and opposing topwater actions, the Imakatsu MJ Jointed Popper delivers a powerful popping sound and light swinging action from a two-piece body that creates strong flashing and high appeal. Featuring a uniquely cupped mouth that's shallow at the sides and deep from top to bottom, the MJ Pop creates popping sounds while it pivots from side to side, as opposed to standard poppers that rely on forward movement to move water and create noise. The rear hook eye is placed on the underside of the body instead of the tip of the tail to increase the braking force and reduce travel distance, allowing anglers to keep it in the strike zone longer with pinpoint accuracy. By adding weight to the tail portion, flight posture is stabilized to greatly improve casting distance, and the rear body drops one level firmly underwater to significantly improve hook-up ratios. Available in a variety of highly realistic color patterns, each popper is fitted with realistic 3D eyes and scaling, razor-sharp treble hooks, and a hand-tied feathered rear hook for added realism. Designed with a goal to make it easy for any angler to achieve loud popping acoustics and swinging escape action, the Imakatsu MJ Jointed Popper is an innovative topwater lure that makes two contradictory actions possible.

Field Notes

Use this on the surface when fish are feeding up top, especially around calm to lightly rippled water where the popping sound and flashing jointed body can draw attention. Work it with short pops and pauses to keep it in the strike zone longer; the feathered rear hook and jointed action add extra appeal on the pause.

Pros

  • Loud popping sound with added swinging flash
  • Floating design keeps it on the surface
  • Tail-weighted for better casting distance and stability
  • Realistic finish and feathered rear hook

Cons

  • More specialized than a basic popper
  • Treble hooks and jointed body can be cumbersome around heavy cover
