Megabass ONETEN MAX LBO SW Floating Lure - 13.5 cm

Product Highlights

The Megabass Oneten Max LBO SW is a high-performance jerk-minnow designed for anglers targeting predatory fish who demand ultra-responsive action and long casting range. Its highly refined hydrodynamic body combined with the LBO II mobile balancing system ensures immediate activation from the first retrieve.

Part of the prestigious Oneten series, this lure benefits from ITO engineering expertise. It stands out by eliminating the sluggishness often seen in large traditional jerk-minnows. Its responsiveness and stability make it a formidable hard lure for predators, capable of provoking even the wariest fish.

The almost frictionless internal mass transfer projects the weight instantly forward upon animation, optimizing the lure's posture and guaranteeing a steady, precise, and highly enticing swim. Whether fishing from shore or boat, this model offers excellent trajectory control and great versatility.

Benefits and Key Strengths

The main strength of the Oneten Max LBO SW lies in its extreme responsiveness. Where many large jerk-minnows become sluggish or imprecise, this model maintains a lively, highly controllable action. The ultra-fast forward shift of the internal weight ensures immediate swimming action, which is decisive when predators give a lure only a few seconds.

The LBO II system also provides a major advantage at casting. The mass transfer optimizes aerodynamics, helping to achieve long distances while maintaining good accuracy, even in windy conditions. This allows covering more water and effectively prospecting distant or hard-to-reach zones.

Its sleek design, typical of the Megabass Oneten range, was conceived to deliver a strong visual signature while remaining natural to fish. Each retrieve produces controlled lateral deviations and tempo changes that trigger reflex strikes, particularly effective on educated fish.

Usage Tips

To make the most of this jerk-minnow, adapt your animation to predator behavior. During periods of high activity, a fast retrieve punctuated by firm jerks can provoke violent strike reactions. When fish are more selective, favor more discreet twitching, alternating short pulls, pauses, and slow resumes.

Vary retrieval cadence to find the rhythm that produces the most strikes. Don’t hesitate to incorporate short pauses where the lure remains in the strike zone, creating the illusion of a weakened prey. Using an appropriate leader for the fished environment and the target fish's teeth is strongly recommended to preserve the lure's lifespan.

This model is ideally used with a rod power suited to hard lures of similar size to maintain precision and comfort while animating. A fine braid combined with a nylon or fluorocarbon leader will maximize sensitivity and allow you to perfectly feel strikes and the lure's action.
