Megabass FLAP SLAP Floating Lure - 7.7 cm

Product strengths

Designed for discerning anglers, the Megabass Flap Slap is a flat-sided crankbait that packs everything needed to trigger freshwater predator strikes into a single lure. Its compact, tall profile displaces a large volume of water, allowing fish to detect it from a distance, even in low visibility or stained water.

Thanks to a specific internal weighting placed low in the body, this lure generates a very pronounced rolling action. With each turn of the reel it tilts sharply onto its sides and produces powerful light flashes comparable to those of a larger swimbait. This visual and vibratory signature perfectly imitates a fleeing prey and triggers the aggression reflexes of pike, perch, zander and largemouth bass.

The Flap Slap also stands out for its high responsiveness. It comes to life on the first reel turn, with no dead spot, making it highly effective for quickly covering large areas or for working precisely on a spot where fish are holding. Even when worked slowly, it retains its high-frequency vibrations, making it a versatile hard predator lure suitable both for prospecting and for fine presentations to wary fish.

• Compatible with most spinning or casting setups dedicated to medium-sized predator fishing.

Advantages and key strengths

The main advantage of the Flap Slap lies in its ability to combine strong vibrations and pronounced water displacement in a relatively compact profile. This makes it a prime target for educated predators accustomed to large, overly conspicuous lures. Its natural behavior and imitative silhouette immediately resemble a wounded forage fish.

During pauses, this crankbait slowly rises through the water column while maintaining a natural pendulum action. This slow rocking is often the decisive moment when fish follow the lure before sucking it in. This slow rise keeps the lure in the fish-holding zone longer and triggers reaction bites.

Another strong point is its wide tolerance regarding presentation. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced angler, you quickly obtain an attractive swim without complicated adjustments. A simple steady retrieve is enough to exploit the lure’s full potential, and it readily accepts speed variations, sharp pulls or light jerks.

Its versatility makes it an excellent choice as a foundation for a predator lure box. It adapts well to both bank fishing and deeper spots, and remains effective across seasons, from warm periods to colder times when fish become wary.

Usage tips

To get the best from this Megabass crankbait, start with a regular, moderate-speed steady retrieve. This simple action perfectly showcases the Flap Slap’s vibrations and natural rolling and helps you quickly locate active fish.

Once initial contacts are established, alternate retrieve speeds and include pauses of varying lengths. Take advantage of the lure’s slow rise to pause above weedbeds, drop-offs or submerged structure: it is often at that moment that the most decisive strikes occur.

Jerks and quick pulls are also very effective. By imparting brief accelerations with the rod, you create irregular lateral deviations that enhance the illusion of a panicked small fish. Vary the rhythm according to season, water clarity and fish mood, and stay alert for sometimes subtle takes that occur on the fall.

This lure performs excellently in rivers, lakes and canals. Use it to run along shorelines, moderate-current zones, the heads of holes or submerged structures such as docks, sunken trees and bridge piers. Rigged on an appropriate leader, it integrates perfectly into a mobile approach that consists of quickly sweeping each promising spot.
