Megabass IXI BLOWLY Floating Crankbait - 4.9 cm

Product highlights

Designed for modern predator fishing, the Megabass IXI BLOWLY is a compact, stout floating crankbait that moves an impressive volume of water despite its small size. Ideal for exploring shallow areas, this hardbait for predators swims just below the surface and instantly attracts attention thanks to a highly expressive action and strong vibration.

At any retrieval speed, the IXI BLOWLY Megabass maintains a steady swim and produces a high-frequency sound that clearly sets it apart from classic crankbaits. Its strong visual and vibratory presence makes it a go-to tool for eliciting reflex strikes, both when prospecting quickly and when focusing on specific spots where perch, pike or other predators lie in wait.

Thanks to a highly refined hydrodynamic design, this shallow-running crankbait remains easy to control, even for less experienced anglers. It allows quick coverage of large water areas while keeping an excellent read on the action, making it a fearsome lure along edges, over shallows or above sparse weedbeds.

Technical features

The Megabass IXI BLOWLY stands out with a widened frontal surface that increases its resistance in the water and reinforces its vibratory signal. This architecture, combined with specific cavities in the lure's head, generates a directed, pressurized flow of water that stabilizes the trajectory while accentuating the rolling action, i.e. the lateral roll particularly attractive to predatory fish.

• Small stout floating crankbait dedicated to shallow predator fishing.
• Swimming depth around 50 cm, ideal for skimming edges, shallows and shallow zones.
• Widened frontal surface for a strong visual presence and a powerful vibratory signal.
• Hydrodynamic cavities in the head to channel and pressurize water flow.
• Very stable, straight trajectory even at high retrieval speeds.
• Pronounced rolling action that enhances flashes and micro-vibrations.
• Water flow evacuated via channels under the gill plates, generating whistling sounds and attractive turbulence.
• Designed for use with light to medium spinning or casting setups, in freshwater.

Benefits and strengths

The main strength of the IXI BLOWLY Megabass lies in its ability to concentrate several complementary attractors: displaced water volume, tight vibrations, high-frequency noise and marked turbulence behind the lure. This combination helps trigger strikes from active fish and can also surprise wary predators accustomed to more classic, less expressive crankbaits.

Its precise balance ensures effective action at all retrieval speeds. Whether you fish very slowly to work a spot or faster to cover water, the Megabass IXI BLOWLY floating crankbait remains perfectly stable and keeps its pronounced rolling. Its buoyancy also eases passing over shallow obstacles: simply pause the retrieve and the lure gradually rises, reducing the risk of snags.

Another major advantage is the read of the action at the end of the line. Even at distance, you can clearly feel the pulses generated by this hardbait, allowing continuous contact with the swim and detection of the slightest bite. This makes it an excellent choice for both beginner anglers and crankbait specialists targeting predatory fish.

Usage tips

The Megabass IXI BLOWLY performs best on a straight retrieve. Cast beyond the area to be prospected, reel a few turns to bring it to its running depth, then maintain a steady speed. Slight cadence variations change the vibration frequency and can provoke trailing strikes.

On well-defined spots (shallow breaks, weed edges, bridge piles, rock banks), don’t hesitate to apply pauses to exploit its buoyancy. An animation combining accelerations, slowdowns and short stops makes this floating crankbait for predators even more unpredictable and encourages hesitant fish to strike. Use a light-to-medium power rod with an appropriate fluorocarbon leader to optimize vibration transmission and bite detection.

This model fits perfectly into a fast-prospecting strategy at the start of a session to locate active fish, before complementing with other lure types if needed. In slightly stained water or windy conditions, its strong vibration and high-frequency sound help it stay visible and audible despite disturbances.

FAQ

Question 1 : What types of predators is the Megabass IXI BLOWLY best suited for ?

Answer: This shallow-running floating crankbait is especially suited for freshwater predator fishing near the surface or above shallow areas, such as perch, pike and other predators that feed along edges and shallows.
