Karashi Twitch Bait The latest generation of finesse baits out of Japan, the Megabass Karashi Twitch Bait offers anglers a unique approach to those veteran bass that lurk in pressured waters. The Karashi dives into your favorite fishery with a slow sinking property to tempt bass with a wild walk-the-dog action that was previously only achievable with surface lures. It dashes left and right with every snap of the rod to mesmerize finicky and aggressive fish alike, triggering them to lash out at your dancing twitch bait. Conversely, the Karashi imparts a dead stick action on a steady retrieve similar to a spybait to more effectively target lethargic predators. In addition to the wild subsurface action, the Megabass Karashi Twitch Bait also delivers the meticulous quality and attention to detail that has elevated Megabass to legendary status. Molded onto the anatomically accurate profile are 3D scale and lateral line patterns, raised gill rakers, and their signature downward-facing eyes. It also comes available in a range of proven colors to further entice any wary bass. Making sure anglers get the most for their dollar, the Megabass Karashi Twitch Bait twitches out of the packaging with premium hardware to help make sure the trophy on the end of your line makes it into the net every time.

IxI Series 3 This next-generation shad made bass pro Katsutaka Imae exclaim “we’ve got something amazing here!” The TYPE-3 features an ability to trace a depth of 3.0m, but it can also perform exceptionally up to the 1.2m range. The design minimizes snags in the shallows and makes repeated hard contact with structures possible. Yuki Ito’s shad engineering has realized Katsutaka Imae’s “forward falling theory” at an extremely high level with this ultimate versatile shad featuring dazzling ultra-high pitch roll action. IxI TX Edition The goal of Katsutaka Imae and Yuki Ito was to land targets from the 4m+ range with a mere 57mm long shad body. The mounting position of the instant shifting balancer system Micro LBO (PAT.) allows for a super forward leaning posture impossible with normal ball weights. Ito moved the balancer head towards the intersection of the lip and body using a shaft with super small diameter bearings that made the extreme forward mounting design possible. With field tests using 6lb fluorocarbon line this big-lipped small shad demonstrated extremely long flight distances and succeeded in generating an astonishing diving vector. The outstanding fusion of aerodynamics and hydrodynamics have given the IxI SHAD the extreme performance needed to strike at deep targets. ■ INSTANT ACTION The LBO II is locked into place by the neodymium magnet in the front for optimal placement and action. ■ SHAFT BALANCER SYSTEM The low center of gravity of the LBO II plays the role of a shaft balancer, combining the power point and action point for excellent responsiveness, creating high pitch rolling action with intense flashing.

Shimano Bantam BT Bait 99SS Designed for a light spinning or bait finesse system (BFS) set up, the Shimano BT Bait 99SS is a slow sinking, multi-jointed swimbait perfect for targeting fish that are keying in on smaller forage. Constructed in a three-piece hard-body design and a replaceable soft-body tail that creates additional attraction, the BT Bait 99SS swims naturally just below the water’s surface and will slowly sink when paused imitating a dying or struggling baitfish. Designed with Shimano’s Scale Boost technology that produces detailed holographic scales, the BT Bait 99SS creates a realistic profile ideal for those clear water situations. Fitted with 3D eyes that add to the realism of this premium finesse swimbait, the Shimano BT Bait 99SS allows anglers to ‘match the hatch’ with multiple fish catching color options.

Megabass GH70 Flatside The GH70 Flatside minnow is a trout-tuned variant of the X-70 minnow jerkbait. Developed to agitate with big flash and action, GH70's flat-sided design displaces big water and catches predator's eyes with a compelling high-pitch rolling action. Twitches of the rod generate wide side-to-side darting action, emulating a natural, panicked baitfish reaction that activates neutral targets. Carefully sculpted and hand finished to induce no-holds-barred reaction bites. The GH70 Flatside fished with a straight or twitch style retrieve is a powerful weapon to attack both current and slack waters alike. The suspending nature of the GH70 also allows a dead-drift presentation in current, closely mimicking wounded forage to get up close and personal with trout and river smallmouth.
Megabass Griffon Bait Finesse A downsized version of the storied japanese crankbait, the Griffon Bait Finesse Exhibits super high-pitch action and pinball deflections to dominate rocky structure and challenging bite situations in the 7ft range. With a round lip and sculpted hydrodynamic form, Griffon's deflection recovery is nearly instantaneous, eliminating the sluggish startup period that can dissuade potential bites. Exhibiting an elusive combination of stability, deflection dynamism and high-pitch wobble, the Griffon Bait Finesse tracks true in challenging current situations to deliver tough bites when it matters most. ROD: WE RECOMMEND THE MULTI-PIECE TRAVEL ROD, TRIZA F0-63XTZ AELLO , AS THE IDEAL BAIT FINESSE PAIRING FOR THE GRIFFON. THE AELLO’S PACKABLE APPROACH TO REMOTE LOCALES MAKES IT A PREFERRED HIKING COMPANION, WHILE THE SMOOTH-BENDING TRADITIONAL TAPER ENABLES INTUITIVE CASTS AND PRECISE CONTROL. FOR A MORE TRADITIONAL ONE-PIECE ROD PAIRING WITH ADDED BACKBONE AND REDUCED WEIGHT, WE RECOMMEND THE DESTROYER P5 F1-63X POPX STICK , WHICH HAS A VERY MODERATE TAPER AND SLOWER ACTION TO ALLOW IT TO BEND DEEP FOR SWEEPING HOOKSETS AND KEEP TARGETS PINNED THROUGHOUT THE FIGHT. FOR A MODERN PISTOL-GRIP PAIRING, WE RECOMMEND THE GREAT HUNTING HUNTSMAN GHBF511-4L , WHICH IS PERFECT FOR QUICK DRAW ROLL-CASTS AND CLOSE-QUARTERS WORK. WITH A MORE SUPPLE TIP THAN THE POPX STICK, THE HUNTSMAN IS IDEAL FOR LIGHT-BITE SITUATIONS WHERE EXTRA GIVE IS NEEDED TO SECURE THE BITE. LINE: WE HAVE FOUND 4-6LB FLUOROCARBON TO BE OPTIMAL FOR MOST SITUATIONS BUT SUGGEST UPSIZING WHEN FISHING FROM SHORE OR WHEN EXPERIENCING LINE WEAR DUE TO ROCKY SITUATIONS. PLEASE REMEMBER TO CHECK THE FIRST 3+ FT OF YOUR LINE FREQUENTLY FOR DAMAGE, AS LIGHT LINE TOLERANCES ARE QUITE TIGHT.

Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel Expanding the legendary line-up of Curado low profile reels, the Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel is equipped with ground-breaking Shimano technologies and redefines finesse fishing for tournament anglers. Inspired by the Japanese Domestic Market, the Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel utilizes an ultralightweight shallow spool designed for thinner diameter lines to allow anglers to cast lightweight lures more effectively than traditional low-profile reels. It also incorporates Shimano’s Finesse Tune Brake (FTB) system to reduce the spool’s weight by moving the braking unit from the spool to the palming side plate, resulting in a spool that takes minimal force to turn and allow anglers to effectively cast lightweight tackle. Unlike traditional magnetic brake systems that maintain the same drag on the spool throughout the cast, the Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel’s FTB system capitalizes on the cast’s centrifugal force and the magnetic brakes automatically adjust to slow down the spool only when braking is needed. Anglers can also add or remove individual magnets as needed to fine-tune the reel for different size lures. The perfect antidote for picky fish, the Shimano Curado BFS Casting Reel is the ideal tool for anglers downsizing their presentations that still want to use casting equipment.
