Megabass SPINE-X 190F Floating Lure - 19 cm

Key Benefits

Designed for anglers seeking maximum realism, the Megabass SPINE-X floating swimbait stands out with an ultra-natural swim just beneath the water surface. Its segmented design faithfully reproduces the oscillations of an escaping baitfish, triggering strikes from the wariest predators.

Thanks to its innovative architecture, this segmented predator lure effectively covers the topwater layer—a frequently overlooked but highly productive zone. It can be worked slowly to prospect wide areas or retrieved faster when fish are actively feeding.

The heart of the SPINE-X is the Live-Wired titanium system, an exclusive technology that provides a realistic vertebral tension to the lure. This flexible spine transmits every subtle input from the line to the tail for smooth, continuous action even at very low speeds.

Technical Features

• Segmented floating swimbait for an ultra-realistic swim just below the surface.
• Live-Wired system using titanium wires with shape memory to simulate a real backbone.
• Elasticomer soft tail extremely flexible and reactive to the slightest input.
• Performs across a wide speed range, from slow retrieves to fast recoveries.
• Natural "S" action, adjustable by configuring the titanium wires.
• Designed to target predatory fish in shallow zones or above weedbeds.
• Ideal for prospecting edges, holding areas and marked spots.

Advantages and Highlights

One major advantage of the Megabass SPINE-X is the ability to customize swim stiffness and tension. By changing the number of titanium wires inserted into the structure, the angler can tighten the curvature, narrow the "S" action or widen it, depending on fish mood and conditions.

This adaptability makes the SPINE-X a technical yet accessible lure: it can be a fast prospecting tool or a finesse weapon to trigger a following predator. Its elasticomer tail flexes dynamically and remains stable during fast retrieves, while still undulating at very slow speeds.

In short, this swimbait offers an exceptional realism/control ratio: precise control of the swim combined with lively, lifelike action reminiscent of an injured baitfish.

Usage Tips

The SPINE-X Megabass performs best when fished in the surface layer where predators often hunt. Cast beyond the target area, use a steady continuous retrieve and let the lure do the work: its segmentation and titanium spine produce a highly attractive swim by themselves.

If followed without being attacked, don't hesitate to adjust the titanium wire configuration to obtain a tighter or wider swim. You can also vary the cadence: alternate long pulls, marked pauses, and sudden accelerations. These changes often trigger an attacking response from hesitant fish.

• Use a slow, linear retrieve in cold water or on inactive fish.
• Speed up and add high-rod twitches when predators are actively hunting.
• Adjust the Live-Wired configuration before each session to match observed behavior.
• Regularly check the soft tail to ensure it remains perfectly aligned.
