Megabass ONIMARU Metal Blade Lure - 20 g

Product benefits

The Megabass Onimaru is a metal blade lure for predators developed from advanced studies of predator behavior. Its design aims to trigger a maximum number of strikes even in the toughest conditions. Thanks to its special balancing, it adopts a natural horizontal swim that perfectly imitates a small panicked fish, making it an essential tool for saltwater predator fishing and other demanding gamefish situations.

This vibrating blade lure generates sharp, pronounced vibrations that are easily detected by predators via their lateral line. This vibratory signature, combined with a compact profile and worked flanks, makes it noticeable from a distance, even when the water is choppy or slightly stained. The Onimaru is designed to remain stable at various retrieval speeds, giving the angler great freedom in animation.

• Realistic horizontal swim that faithfully imitates a fleeing baitfish.
• Powerful, tight vibrations at all retrieval speeds.
• Robust construction in a dense metal alloy for excellent hold in current.
• Well-defined flanks and lateral lines to enhance visual and vibratory effect.
• Hook mounted on a rolling swivel to reduce break-offs and unhooks.
• Design engineered to limit tangles with the leader.

Technical specifications

The Onimaru is a precisely balanced metal lure. Its center of gravity is positioned to maintain a stable horizontal posture, even during fast or jerky retrieves. This feature allows it to stay in a strike-ready attitude at all times, emitting constant signals throughout the retrieve.

• Type: compact metal blade lure with strong vibration.
• Design: special balancing derived from predator behavior research.
• Swim: realistic horizontal posture, stable retrieval at different speeds.
• Action: sharp attractive vibrations, highly perceptible via the fish's lateral line.
• Visual signal: pronounced lateral lines to enhance underwater visibility.
• Rigging: hook mounted on a rolling swivel to limit line twists and leverage during the fight.
• Usage: suited to varied retrieval speeds and multiple linear or more rhythmic animations.
• Target: anglers seeking a high-performance metal lure for predators, in marine environments or other predator-rich waters.

Advantages and strengths

One of the major strengths of the Megabass Onimaru is its ability to remain effective in many fishing situations. Whether used on a slow retrieve to tempt wary fish, or on a fast retrieve to provoke reflex strikes, it retains its stability and efficiency. Its tight, vibrating swim allows quick coverage of large areas and helps locate active predators.

Its hook mounted on a rolling swivel is a key feature of the concept. This system significantly reduces line twists and limits the risk that the fish will use the lure as leverage to unhook itself during the fight. The angler therefore gains security during strong sets as well as when fighting large specimens.

• Effective on actively hunting fish as well as ambush predators.
• Allows fishing at different depths by modulating animation speed.
• Optimized to reduce unhooks and secure fights.
• Shape and profile designed to cut the water and remain stable in current.
• Excellent compromise between attractiveness, casting distance and swim control.

Usage tips

To make the most of the Megabass Onimaru metal lure, adapt the animation to fish behavior and current conditions. A steady linear retrieve already exploits its natural vibrations while maintaining contact with the bottom or the desired water layer.

When fish are wary, alternate slow retrieve phases with short bursts of speed to simulate a fleeing baitfish. In rougher conditions or when predators are active, a faster retrieve will trigger clear strikes. Short pauses can also be effective, giving the lure time to flash and vibrate differently when tension resumes.

• Vary retrieval speeds to find the strike-triggering rhythm.
• Keep constant contact with the lure to feel vibrations and the subtlest takes.
• Adjust swim depth according to predator activity level.
• Use a leader adapted to the environment and target species to take full advantage of the hook's mobility on the swivel.

FAQ

Question 1: Which predators is the Megabass Onimaru intended for?

Answer: The Onimaru is designed primarily to target saltwater predators and other gamefish that hunt small baitfish, especially in areas where a strong vibratory and visual signature is decisive in triggering strikes.
