Megabass Marine Gang Cookai 120F Floating Lure - 12 cm

Product highlights

The Megabass Marine Gang Cookai floating hard minnow is designed for saltwater fishing for coastal predators such as sea bass, pollack or bonito. Thanks to its slender profile and refined hydrodynamics, it cuts through the air easily and enters the water optimally, offering a natural presentation even in challenging conditions. It targets demanding anglers looking for a long-distance saltwater minnow lure that remains effective in swell, wind and strong currents.

Its main asset is the LBO II mass transfer system, an internal technology that significantly improves casting distance and flight stability. The movable weight shifts rearward during the cast to increase inertia, then snaps forward to the head upon water impact. The lure activates on the first turns of the reel, allowing anglers to gain valuable meters of active search with every cast.

Very stable, this floating minnow for sea bass supports high retrieval speeds without losing action, even in strong currents and choppy waves. It stays in the proper water layer, maintains a tight, vibrating swim and remains attractive throughout the retrieve, making it an excellent choice to quickly cover large holding areas.

Advantages and key strengths

Compared to a standard minnow, the Marine Gang Cookai stands out for its ability to reach fish located beyond the range of typical lures. The internal mass transfer loads the rear of the lure at the cast, allowing it to clear wave bars, reach distant bust-ups or prospect offshore breaks. This ability to "go further" for predators makes the difference during sessions when fish hold beyond the reach of standard lures.

In fishing action, this minnow for sea bass in saltwater remains perfectly stable, even at high retrieval speeds or in strong currents found at estuaries, breakwaters and rocky points. It does not lose its action, maintains its trajectory and keeps a consistent swim, which reassures the angler and allows focus on reading the water rather than controlling the lure. This reliability is a major asset when conditions worsen or the wind picks up.

Thanks to its calculated buoyancy, the Megabass floating minnow works ideally in the upper water layer, just above rocky shelves, kelp beds, beaches, estuaries or drop-offs. It effectively sweeps predator feeding zones while staying within their strike window. It is a fast prospecting tool, capable of covering large sectors while retaining a strong selectivity for quality fish.

How to use

To get the most out of the Marine Gang Cookai minnow, pair it with a spinning or baitcasting rod rated for medium-sized lures and a smooth reel spooled with light braid. A straight retrieve punctuated by short pauses, light twitches and small rhythm changes often triggers bites from wary sea bass and other saltwater predators.

In rough seas or with a strong wind, exploit the long casting range provided by the LBO II system to reach active water lanes, rock heads, sandbank edges or offshore breaks. Vary retrieval speed: slow to entice inactive fish, faster to cover ground or provoke actively hunting predators.

Choose the color variant according to light conditions and water clarity, while keeping a natural presentation. After each saltwater outing, rinse the lure thoroughly with fresh water and check split rings and hooks to preserve long-term performance.

FAQ

Question 1: What species is this lure recommended for?

Answer: This floating minnow is ideal for targeting major coastal saltwater predators, notably sea bass, pollack, bonito and other predators feeding near the surface or in the upper water column.

Question 2: Is this lure better for shore or boat fishing?

Answer: It was designed to excel both from shore—when reaching distant bust-ups or clearing the surf is necessary—and from boat to rapidly prospect large areas while maintaining excellent trajectory control.
