Floating Lure Megabass KAGELOU 124 F - 12.4 cm

Product advantages

The Megabass KAGELOU 124 F is a next-generation minnow specifically developed for targeting predators in both salt and fresh water. Its design combines an aerodynamic profile and optimized internal weight distribution to deliver very long casts, even into the wind. Able to swim just under the water surface, it typically runs around 20 cm deep, making it a deadly subsurface lure for triggering strikes from wary fish holding in shallow water. Ideal for quickly covering large areas such as beaches and rocky flats, this model lets you search the holding zones of sea bass and other predators without spooking them. Its attractive action, achieved simply with steady retrieves punctuated by pauses, makes it a lure that’s easy to handle for both beginners and experienced anglers seeking maximum efficiency.

Benefits and strong points

The Megabass KAGELOU 124 F stands out primarily for its ability to reach distant holding areas. On long windy beaches or rocky points it allows casts beyond the breakers to access distant feeding frenzies where sea bass and other predators concentrate. This ability for long-distance casting provides a decisive advantage when fish sit out of reach of conventional lures. Another strength is its ultra-effective action: from the first turns of the reel the lure works with a tight, realistic action that emits very attractive visual and vibratory signals. Able to stay in a shallow layer, it passes over rocks and weed where other models snag, making it particularly suited to snaggy areas. Finally, Megabass build quality ensures refined finishes, long-lasting durability and consistent action from one lure to another, all factors that make it a reliable lure for targeting sea bass and coastal predators.

• Quick coverage of large prospecting areas
• Excellent aerial performance for powerful, accurate casts
• Stable action even in strong currents or rough sea
• Effective with a simple retrieve, no complex animations required
• Suitable for both shore and boat fishing

Usage tips

To get the most from the Megabass KAGELOU 124 F subsurface lure, a steady retrieve with short pauses is usually the most productive. Cast beyond the suspected holding area, lower the rod slightly and retrieve at a moderate speed to keep the lure running just below the surface. Abrupt stops followed by restarts create changes of rhythm that often trigger strikes from following fish. On beaches, methodically comb the edges, sandbars and current lines while varying your casting angles. On rocky flats, keep the lure above obstacles by adjusting retrieve speed and rod height. This model handles tough conditions well: wind, swell and current. It is therefore especially recommended for sea sessions when fish are feeding on bait schools near the surface.

• Adjust retrieve speed to fish activity: slower in cold water, faster during visible chases
• Make regular pauses of one to two seconds to imitate an injured baitfish
• Vary rod height to control running depth
• Use a leader suited to predators and the environment (abrasion, rocks, breakwaters)
• Test several available colors to match light and water turbidity

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this lure reserved for the sea or can it also be used in fresh water?

Answer: The KAGELOU 124 F was designed for saltwater fishing, but its subsurface action and casting ability also make it an excellent choice for targeting freshwater predators, particularly in shallow zones and along borders.

Question 2 : Do you need a special retrieve for it to be effective?

Answer: No, a simple steady retrieve at moderate speed is enough to produce a very attractive action. Adding a few pauses and slight accelerations can however increase strike probability, especially when fish are wary.
