• Double lateral mass-transfer system optimized for casting distance and accuracy while promoting pronounced right-to-left glides.
• Pronounced long slide action, producing a very slow and wide presentation that stays in predators' sight longer.
• Three heavy-duty hooks mounted on rolling swivels to reduce break-offs during the fight, even during final frantic shakes near the net.

• Profile shaped to create a marked wake, flank flashes and strong vibrations during steady or animated retrieves.

Advantages and Strengths

The Megabass Megadog 180 was developed for demanding anglers seeking a reliable tool against powerful predators. The stainless steel through-wire secures every strike, while the mass-transfer system allows covering wide areas without excessive effort. Its slow, wide, provocative action is ideal for convincing following fish that hesitate to take subtler lures. Thanks to three hooks on rolling swivels, each strike results in a solid hook-up and excellent retention throughout the fight.

• Selective for larger fish and capable of triggering spectacular surface strikes.
• Suitable for pike topwater fishing specialists as well as anglers targeting other large predators.
• Durable construction built to last season after season, even under heavy use.
• Effective animations for both experienced anglers and those comfortable with walking-the-dog techniques.
• Ideal as a prospecting lure to quickly locate active fish across large areas.

Usage Tips

To get the most out of the Megabass Megadog 180, use a powerful casting or spinning outfit equipped with a heavy-diameter braid and a leader adapted to the teeth and head-shakes of big predators. This lure performs best when worked in long, wide glides alternating with pauses adjusted to fish activity. Vary the cadence and length of rod twitches to move from a slow, insistent long slide to a snappier animation that can provoke reflex strikes.

• Make long casts to cover maximum ground and surprise fish holding away from the boat or shore.
• Adjust retrieval speed: slow in cold water or on wary fish, faster when predators are actively hunting.
• Work areas with edges, weedlines, snags and classic predator holding spots.
• Regularly check hooks and split rings to maintain sharpness and strength.
