Floating Lure Megabass LATES FEEDINGWOOFER - 12 cm

Product strengths

The Lates FeedingWoofer Megabass is a lure developed to trigger strikes from predators hunting just below the surface. This next-generation stickbait produces a strong rolling action directly under the water film, creating highly attractive flashes that mimic a distressed baitfish or a small school fleeing. Thanks to this natural, steady swim, it is suitable for both experienced anglers and beginners seeking to improve their results.

Designed for use with a steady retrieve with pauses, this hardbait allows quick coverage of large water areas while remaining extremely simple to animate. Few technical actions are needed: simply reel at an appropriate speed and insert a few stops to let the lure express its full potential. The Lates FeedingWoofer is particularly effective when the surface is slightly disturbed, a condition where its flashes blend perfectly with those of natural prey.

• Very pronounced rolling action to maximize flashes and visual signals.
• Swims just below the surface to target predators hunting high in the water column.
• Simple animation, ideal for cast-and-retrieve fishing and for quick prospecting.
• Lure designed to remain stable even when the surface is disturbed by wind.
• Made by Megabass, a worldwide reference in technical lures for predators.

Technical characteristics

The Lates FeedingWoofer belongs to the family of stickbaits operating in the subsurface. Its elongated profile and internal weighting are designed to provide a smooth, steady swim while staying under the surface film. This strategic position reproduces the panicked flight of small baitfish often pursued by predators.

Its primary role is to generate intense flashes thanks to a tight and continuous rolling. This lateral movement successively exposes its flanks, producing visible flashes from a distance, even in slightly stained water or when the light is low. Used with a simple reel retrieve, it helps keep the lure in the strike zone as long as possible.

• Product type: hard stickbait subsurface lure.
• Operating zone: just below the water surface.
• Action: pronounced rolling producing attractive flashes.
• Recommended animation: steady retrieve with well-marked pauses.
• Target species: main freshwater predators that hunt baitfish at the surface.
• Environment: lakes, ponds, rivers and canals with surface prey presence.
• Use: lure fishing by cast-and-retrieve from shore or boat.
• Design intended to favor a discreet approach while maximizing lure visibility.

Advantages and key points

This lure stands out for its ability to trigger reflex strikes where other more classic models fail. Its marked rolling and intense flashes faithfully reproduce the panic of an isolated small fish, prompting predators to strike by instinct, even when wary or inactive.

Another major asset of the Lates FeedingWoofer Megabass is its ease of handling. It does not require complex manipulation: a simple turn of the reel is enough to make it swim correctly. Experienced anglers find a precise tool to methodically probe edges, shoals and holding zones, while beginners benefit from a surface and subsurface lure that is very forgiving of animation errors.

Its overall design also makes it an excellent choice for quickly exploring an area and locating active fish. In a few casts, it is possible to identify sectors where predators hold, before refining with other presentations. It is therefore a lure particularly worth keeping in your box for mobile fishing.

Usage tips

To get the most out of this rolling stickbait, it is recommended to cast beyond the area to be prospected and then retrieve linearly at a steady pace. Slightly vary the retrieval rhythm to find the cadence that provokes the most strikes, and insert pauses of varying length to let the lure naturally evolve in the layer of water near the surface.

Days when the wind ripples the surface are particularly favorable. Small waves break predator visibility, while the flashes of the Lates FeedingWoofer stand out even more, imitating a disoriented baitfish. Do not hesitate to insist around weedbeds, breaks, bridge pilings or any structure likely to concentrate prey.

• Adjust retrieval speed according to fish activity.
• Regularly insert pauses to keep the lure in the strike zone.
• Prospect areas where you observe baitfish on the surface.
• Use a suitable lure rod to maintain good contact and set the hook effectively.
• Choose among the different available variants to adapt the presentation to conditions.
