I would like to talk to you about some of the most highly sought after tackle by american bass fisherman for the excellent craftsmanship, and flat out fish catching ability. Thats right, Megabass! Megabass USA only gets a small portion of megabass lures in each year from Japan, so when the new orders come in, if your tackle shop was lucky enough to get half of what you ordered, you are usually sitting on a gold mine that is going to be sold out within a day or two.

Some of the most popular megabass lures are the Ito Vision 110, in Pro Blue, and Deadly Black Shad. I have seen people offer thousands of dollars for a handful of these baits. Some keep them as collectors items, and others use them in tournament fishing regularly. Some other very popular lures made by megabass are the griffons, and cyclones. These are small crankbaits that are great around cover and don't get hung up easily. They come in a variety of great colors, and are all hand painted in Japan.

The price is usually hard to swallow for the first time megabass buyer, but once they get using them, they are hooked! The fear many bass fisherman have is that the lure is only designed to catch the fisherman instead of the fish. But you can rest assured, while they are out to make money, their hand crafted lures do catch fish. Megabass is often the only lure of choice when going for a crankbait, but they also make a variety of great spinner baits, super light rods, tackle boxes, stickers, hats, t-shirts and more.
