Megabass BIG M 4.0 Floating Lure - 12.6 cm

Product highlights

Designed by Megabass for demanding predator fishing, the Big M 4.0 is a large hardbait that displaces a lot of water thanks to its bulky volume and a very pronounced rolling action. This unique combination allows selective targeting of trophy fish even when activity is low.

Its massive profile and wide action produce powerful, consistent vibrations easily detected by large pike and big black bass. The Big M 4.0 excels during slow to medium prospecting, when it’s necessary to thoroughly work a spot or precisely follow breaks and cluttered edges.

Thanks to careful design, this big bait remains surprisingly stable even in currents or crosswinds. It maintains a tight rolling swim, which reduces hook-offs and boosts the angler’s confidence throughout the retrieve.

Benefits and strengths

The main advantage of the Megabass Big M 4.0 lies in its ability to select large fish. Its significant volume and wide action often discourage smaller specimens, leaving the stage to the most aggressive, well-established predators on the spot.

When prospecting, this pike and bass lure efficiently covers high-potential areas: slope breaks, weed edges, wooded banks, fry-holding zones, etc. Its marked vibratory signature helps trigger reflex strikes, even from fish already pressured by other lures.

The Big M 4.0 is also very versatile in animations. Retrieved in steady straight-line, it delivers a stable, reassuring swim. In stop-and-go, its pauses often leverage its inertia and volume to provoke following fish. It integrates perfectly into a power fishing strategy aimed at active or wary predators.

Usage tips

To get the most out of the Big M 4.0, pair it with gear powerful enough to cast and handle a large lure safely. A rod dedicated to big baits, combined with a sturdy reel and a suitable line, will provide comfort and control during a fight with a trophy fish.

Work the lure with a slow to medium retrieve, vary the cadence and add pauses near obstacles, breaks, or substrate changes. Alternating speeds and micro-pauses often triggers many strikes both sight and near-boat.

Don’t hesitate to insist on areas where you’ve seen activity: follows, chases, commotion, baitfish schools. The Big M 4.0 is particularly effective when it passes close to hides without fully entering them, minimizing snags while remaining highly present in the predators’ detection field.
