Megabass Lures : V-FLAT (New 2006)



(Head Weight: 5/16, 3/7, 1/2 & 1.3 oz.)
Introduced in the late 80s, the V shaped head design (keel shape) changed the spinnerbait head design over night. As the keel of boats has proven, V-FLAT head design improves stability and ability to navigate, and weed avoidance, and when retrieved fast the blades starts to roll left and right.

The idea is simple, that is why it is so effective. This is not a conventional spinnerbait. Click color chart below to enlarge.

Megabass Lures : XS135 "Limberlamber" (New 2006)


Finally, the eagerly awaited final weapon of S-method arrives from Megabass! Its name is XS135 "Limberlamber". XS refers to the "drum" manufactured by ITO Engineering, which changed the air content in the air block material, bringing about overwhelming fishing performance. Megabass Factory uses this technology, and finishes by hand to make the Limberlamber. The S-shaped action automatically generated by straight retrieve causes a sharp change in direction, with overwhelming turn-in and kick. XS transmits the action in the water to the hands of the angler clearly, overcoming a common complaint with conventional swimbaits. Therefore, its air block material of high buoyoncy reacts to the angler's rod work quickly. It completes the wide slide and dart in the water, aggressive escape and dash, and produces underwater dog walk with sharper action in a shorter retrieve period. Limberlamber mimics the action of real bait itself, enticing otherwise neutral monster bass to attack. XS has one other variant, Type FS (Fast Sink) which targets deeper water monster bass.

Megabass Lures : XJ-100 (New 2006)


XJ-100 is not just a joint plug but a super swing bait with outstanding ability. XJ-100 plays an active role as a swing crank bait which bears down on super shallow areas while retrieving straight. Unlike many joint plugs which have a wobbling action, XJ-100's "High Pitch Swing" with "Rolling" brings out "Vibration Impact" equal to that of a vibration plug.
XJ-100 is so responsive to every subtle twitch and jerk due to XJ's original balancer system (PAT.). The action is so wide and excellent as to turn the abdominal area over and do a roll. In addition, dynamic flat casting and kick at the time of contact with obstacles is like the movement of many baitfish themselves. XJ beats up on the surface of the water with a high pitched swing and active movements.

Lucky Craft Fishing Lures - Live Sammy 120


Live Sammy was developed with the goal of providing an ultimate top water plug. Lucky Craft successfully combined the sharp “walking the dog” action of the original Sammy, as well as the powerful splashes it creates through lateral sliding movements, together with an improved hooking ratio achieved by a live body that absorbs the impact received when a bass bites the bait.
The feather hook used by all Live Series baits provides an attack point for bass to tackle, plus a reliable clasp that does not release the fish once caught. The screw of water flow generated by the live body as it slides to the right and left stimulate the tactile senses of bass, which are lured by the realistic movements of the bait. Live Sammy is the ultimate bait and one of the proud new offerings from Lucky Craft International for this season.

NEW - Team Daiwa® Freshwater Lures (for 2006)


NEW TD Mouthwasher

When you want a huge commotion on the surface, this is the bait to do it. The oversized cup mouth creates maximum splash and "pop" while the prop inside multiplies both the splash and sound.










NEW TD Minnow

We've added new colors and actions to Daiwa's classic minnow in both the standard 3 3/4 inch and 4 3/4 inch size.










NEW TD Minnow, Type SG

This is the next generation of our popular TD Minnow line-up. Designed for a stop and go retrieve, the lure's ultra-thin lip and fixed balance point ensure rapid and ultra-responsive action with superior vibration. From the realistic, super-fine scale pattern to the life-like 3-D eyes, this new minnow looks and swims like a natural baitfish.










NEW TD Crank, Thin Lip

An ultra-thin, square lip design delivers action instantly on retrieve and gets you into the strike zone with no wasted time. When cranked fast, the thin lip produces an extremely tight wobble pattern for increased vibration. Slowing it down gives a wider, slower wobble when desired. Tungsten weights give balanced floatation and enhanced action. Realistic, fine scale body detail and 3-D eyes add to the baits appeal.
