The water-pushing action created by the BABY POPX's distinctive cup shape. A crisp, pleasing splash sound. And above all, a short-slide dog walk that responds sensitively to delicate rod work, shaking its head in place. Conceived and built by Ito, and raised by Japanese anglers and Japan's fishing culture, the POP-X has been loved by countless anglers for many years. What few know is that a private model of the POP-X existed for Ito's personal use. That is this Baby POP-X. Despite its ultra-compact body, it achieves the long-distance castability to search wide areas at a fast tempo. The line eye positioned in the center of the mouth lets it dog walk nimbly across the surface. The quiet entry only a micro profile can deliver, together with a lifelike splash sound that reacts instantly to the slightest rod work even on a pinpoint spot, will reliably charm even the most battle-hardened, spooky monsters.
