Megabass KANATA +1 SW Floating Lure - 16 cm

Product strengths

The Megabass KANATA +1 SW is the deep version of the renowned KANATA SW, designed to target predators holding lower in the water column. This deep minnow for predators was developed to offer an increased diving depth while retaining the same swimming identity and ease of use as the original model. It thus enables efficient targeting of wary or inactive fish positioned above drop-offs, structure or holes.

Thanks to its specific design, the KANATA +1 SW dives to approximately 3.2 m, making it a go-to when predators no longer react to lures running near the surface or midwater. Its swimming action remains smooth and consistent, without excessive rod pull, allowing for fast and extended retrieves without fatigue.

This fast-prospecting hardbait is particularly effective for sweeping large holding areas, following bottom contours, skimming rockheads or running along steep slopes. It combines efficiency, comfort and precision to meet the demands of technical anglers as well as casual users.

Technical specifications

• +1 version of the KANATA SW offering greater diving depth than the original model.
• Diving capability up to approximately 3.2 m to reach fish holding deeper in the water column.
• Maintains the same swim and balance as the KANATA SW, with an action engineered to trigger strikes from wary predators.
• Hardbait minnow type, intended for predator fishing by linear prospecting or with active retrieves.
• Moderate rod pull, allowing high-speed fishing without excessive fatigue, even during long sessions.
• Designed to explore deep water layers above drop-offs, holes, shelves and cluttered areas.
• Versatile use depending on conditions: steady retrieves, twitch-and-pause animations, speed variations.

Advantages and highlights

The main asset of the Megabass KANATA +1 SW lies in its ability to reach significant depths without compromising fishing comfort. Where many deep lures generate strong pull on the rod, this model remains surprisingly pleasant to handle, preserving precision in the action and allowing the angler to stay focused longer.

By retaining the characteristics that made the KANATA SW successful, this +1 version offers a natural transition between midwater and deeper fishing. The angler can quickly adapt strategy: start by exploring upper layers with another lure, then switch to the KANATA +1 SW as soon as echoes or bites indicate deeper activity.

Its ability to support fast prospecting at sustained speed enables covering maximum ground, locating active zones and increasing encounters with predators. This efficiency makes it a powerful tool to locate fish at the start of a session or to press specific sectors by varying angles of approach.

Finally, the KANATA +1 SW stands out as a complementary option to the classic KANATA SW: it integrates perfectly into a multi-layer fishing strategy where each depth is methodically explored with the most appropriate lure.

Usage tips

To get the most from this deep lure for predators, start by identifying the depth where fish are holding using a fishfinder, surface observations or shore information. When predators are positioned lower in the water column, the KANATA +1 SW becomes particularly relevant.

A steady retrieve at sustained speed takes full advantage of its efficient swim and covers long distances quickly. Vary cadence though, inserting short pauses or light twitches to create rhythm changes that often trigger strikes.

Work the lure above obstacles, drop-offs and marked structures where predators like to position to intercept prey. Adjust the running depth by modulating retrieve speed and the amount of line out to precisely exploit the targeted zone.

In difficult conditions, don't hesitate to repeat passes along the same structures: the KANATA +1 SW's capacity to dive deep while remaining comfortable to animate allows repeated casts without excessive fatigue.

FAQ

Question 1: What is the main difference between the KANATA SW and the KANATA +1 SW?

Answer: The KANATA +1 SW is designed to dive deeper than the classic KANATA SW, down to approximately 3.2 m, while maintaining the same general swimming characteristics and moderate rod pull. It therefore targets predators positioned lower in the water column while preserving excellent comfort for fast prospecting.
