Tackle House K-Ten M-Sound – 118mm 14g

Tackle House K-Ten M-Sound: The Multi-Sensory Surface Innovator

The Tackle House K-Ten M-Sound is a radical departure from traditional popper design. While most topwater lures feature a single forward-facing cup, the M-Sound is engineered with two side cups on the left and right. This unique M profile allows for a level of control and versatility rarely seen in surface baits, enabling the angler to manipulate the lures signature with extreme precision.

These side cavities do more than just push water; they create unique disturbances and pulsating wakes that resonate through the water column. This M-Sound vibration is designed to trigger the lateral lines of predatory fish, drawing them in even when visibility is low. Whether you are looking for a subtle ripple or an aggressive splash, this lure provides a multi-sensory toolkit for the creative angler.

Technical Specifications

Product Details and Uses

The M-Sound is a hybrid lure that bridges the gap between a popper, a slider, and a diver:

• The Double Side-Cup Advantage: By placing the cups on the sides, Tackle House has made the lure easier to skate and glide. The water resistance is distributed differently than a standard popper, allowing for a smoother side-to-side walking action combined with a distinct splashing sound.

• Versatile Retrieval Techniques:

  • Popping & Splashing: Use sharp tugs to engage the side cups for a unique, high-pitched splash.

  • Skating & Rippling: A steady, rhythmic twitch creates a wide skating motion that leaves a broad, pulsating wake.

  • Diving: Under a fast retrieve, the M-Sound can be forced just under the surface, trailing a stream of bubbles.

• Magnetic Ballistics: Despite its unusual head shape, the M-Sound features the legendary K-Ten Magnetic Weight Transfer System. This ensures the internal weights shift to the tail during the cast, allowing this 14g lure to reach impressive distances even in coastal winds.

• Acoustic Triggering: The M-Sound isnt just a namethe specific frequency of the water entering and exiting the side cavities is tuned to mimic the sound of a surface-feeding frenzy, which can pull curious predators up from deeper water.

• Saltwater Toughness: Built with the high-quality ABS resin and heavy-duty hardware typical of the K-Ten Tuned series, it is ready for aggressive coastal species like Bass and Bluefish, as well as freshwater Pike.

Gerrys Pro Tip: The M-Sound is a finesse popper. In calm conditions, try a very slow ripple retrieve where the side cups just barely catch the surface. This creates a subtle V-wake and a soft ticking sound that is incredibly effective for wary fish in shallow estuaries or over calm reef flats
