Floating Lure Megabass I BRAKE - 16 cm

Product Benefits

The Megabass I Brake is a premium hybrid swimbait designed to entice the wariest predators. It combines a hard articulated body with a highly mobile elastomer soft tail, delivering a natural swim that faithfully mimics baitfish behavior. Its design produces a smooth action on steady retrieves while remaining extremely responsive to rhythm changes and marked pauses.

Thanks to its side fins, this lure stands out for its ability to perform sharp stops during pauses. These appendages displace significant water volume, creating vibrations and visual flashes that immediately stimulate the predatory instincts of pike and other predators. The result is a pike lure particularly effective at provoking violent strikes, even under high fishing pressure.

The elastomer tail of the Megabass I Brake hybrid swimbait is specially engineered to resist the sharp teeth of predators while remaining flexible and expressive. You thus benefit from a durable lure capable of enduring intensive sessions without losing effectiveness or mobility.

Technical Specifications

• Hybrid swimbait combining a hard articulated body and a soft elastomer tail.

• Durable tail specifically designed to withstand repeated predator strikes.
• Design optimized for pike and other freshwater predators.

Advantages and Key Features

The main strength of the Megabass I Brake lies in its animation versatility. It can be worked on a slow retrieve for a gliding, casual swim, or in more energetic sequences with jerks and prolonged pauses. During these stops, the side fins stabilize the body while producing subtle posture changes, creating the impression of an injured or struggling fish—an ideal target for predators.

The robustness of its elastomer tail is another decisive advantage. Where some soft lures degrade quickly, the I Brake retains its mechanical properties longer, making it an excellent choice for areas heavily populated by pike or aggressive predators. This increased durability reduces replacement frequency and optimizes your lure investment.

With its balanced design, this predator lure remains stable at different retrieve speeds, allowing adaptation to many situations: scouting shorelines, sparse weedbeds, drop-offs, holding zones for big fish, etc. Whether fishing from shore, boat or float-tube, the Megabass I Brake hybrid swimbait integrates easily into your search strategies.

Finally, its refined finish and studied profile enhance its credibility with educated fish. The combination of a realistic silhouette, natural behavior and strong water displacement helps make the I Brake a technical yet accessible lure, appreciated by demanding anglers as well as those discovering swimbait fishing.

Usage Tips

To get the most from the Megabass I Brake, use a predator rod with good power reserve and a reliable reel capable of handling lures of this class. A braided mainline paired with a leader suited to pike teeth offers an excellent compromise between sensitivity, effective hook-setting and security.

In fishing action, favor a slow to medium retrieve punctuated with decisive pauses. Let the lure stabilize and take advantage of the side-fin effect: these moments of apparent immobility are often when strikes occur. Vary pause length and frequency until you find the rhythm that produces the most bites in your fishing area.

The I Brake also performs well with sawtooth animations or stop-and-go retrieves, especially when following structure, sweeping drop-offs or exploring shallow shelves. By changing casting angle and trajectory, you can efficiently cover large areas while presenting a particularly convincing hybrid hardbait.

To preserve the quality of its elastomer tail, avoid storing it in direct contact with other lures, especially those made of different soft materials. Store it preferably in its original packaging or in a dedicated compartment of your tackle box to maintain shape and performance over time.
