I have a question. I broke one of the three trebles on the rear on my Megabass Pop x today. I have others and this one particular one is beat up, but it has caught so many fish, I just throwing this it. The hooks are very small and hard to replace. Would you just keep using it as is or order a new feathered treble from Megabass and somehow get it on there?

I would get a new treble

hoook, idk how many times I got a bass or other fish on the boat with just one single hook! Sometimes they short strike and that one hook could mean you landing or losing a fish.

The hooks on my pop x also broke, after catching about 300-400 bass, and what I did was replace them with #6 gamakatsu magic eye treble hooks.  Didn't want to have to bother with the feather, they always came off after ~150 fish anyways.  It didn't seem to affect the catch rate at all.

 

Just use a pair of small needle nose pliers to get the hooks on, it is a little bit tricky with the tiny split rings, but it still only took about five minutes.
