Jig Megabass SLASH BEAT 150 g

Product Benefits

The Megabass Slash Beat is a metal jig for vertical sea fishing specially designed to work under the boat. Its elongated profile and tail-weighted balance ensure an extremely fast fall, ideal for reaching fish-holding areas near the bottom in minimal time. This ability to cut through the current and quickly reach the depths keeps constant contact with the lure, even during strong drifts.

This versatile jig lure excels both during slow-jigging style slow animations and during more energetic retrieves. Its fluttering fall during drops, combined with pronounced flash, triggers reflex strikes from the wariest marine predators. Suited to a wide variety of predators, it naturally earns a place in every boat angler's arsenal aiming to efficiently explore deep waters.

Advantages and Key Features

Thanks to its specific design, the Megabass Slash Beat allows rapid coverage of a large water column, from the bottom up to intermediate layers. By simply varying the lift height and the length of pauses, it becomes possible to methodically probe the different levels where fish are holding.

Its excellent holding in the current limits line angle and improves sensitivity. The angler feels bites better, as well as the structure of the bottom, which facilitates identification of productive areas. Moreover, the lively action during accelerations, followed by a controlled fall, perfectly imitates a distressed baitfish, triggering violent strikes even from already pressured fish.

Robust and reliable, this sea predator lure withstands repeated fights with large fish without losing its swimming qualities. Its versatility makes it a relevant choice for drift fishing trips, fishing directly above a wreck or drop-off, as well as for more exploratory sessions over large unknown areas.

Usage Tips

To get the most out of the Slash Beat, it is recommended to use it with a casting or spinning outfit dedicated to vertical fishing, equipped with a fine, strong braid. A thin-diameter braid offers less windage to the current and improves bite detection.

When fishing, start by letting the jig fall freely to the bottom while keeping slight contact with the reel to detect any bite on the fall. Once the bottom is reached, animate the lure with long lifts or small successive jerks, interspersed with pauses of varying length. It is often during these free-fall phases that the strike occurs.

For slow jigging, favor slow and regular movements, accompanying the fall with the rod to let the jig flutter naturally. Don't hesitate to vary the rhythm, the swimming height and the retrieval speed until you find the cadence that produces the most bites in the day's conditions.
