Megabass X NANAHAN Floating Lure - 7.5 cm

Product highlights

The Megabass X Nanahan +1 is a high-performance minnow jerkbait designed to meet the expectations of technical anglers seeking an effective predator swimming lure for many situations. Born from the collaboration of Shinji Sato, a Japanese lure specialist, and Yuki Ito, creator of the legendary Vision Oneten, this lure continues Megabass’s classic legacy by offering precise, responsive, and highly attractive swimming action.

Its main strength lies in its ability to be thrown long distances with great accuracy. Whether targeting distant bank spots or fishing from a boat, the X Nanahan +1 covers wide water surfaces without sacrificing control. Its design promotes excellent flight stability and a discreet water entry, ideal for not spooking wary fish in shallow areas.

Another key advantage is that this minnow jerkbait activates from the very first turns of the reel, even at low retrieve speeds. It excels when working a specific spot, following breaks, or tracing current seams while maintaining an attractive swim. This responsiveness makes it a valuable ally when predators are sluggish or following without striking.

Technical specifications

The X Nanahan +1 is designed for prospecting shallow areas and moderate to strong currents. Its maximum swimming depth of around 1.2 m allows you to fish just above weed beds, snaggy bottoms, or submerged structures where pike, perch, zander, or black bass often hold. Its slim minnow profile produces a tight, natural action, very convincing on educated fish.

Advantages and strengths

Thanks to its well-thought-out design, the Megabass X Nanahan +1 offers an exceptional balance between ease of use and effectiveness. Even on slow retrieves, its action remains lively and steady, triggering strikes when fish follow without committing. With more aggressive jerking or twitching, it reacts instantly, producing lateral darts and rhythm changes that perfectly mimic a panicked baitfish.

Its ability to retain an attractive action in current zones is another major benefit. Where many lures lose balance or dive erratically, the X Nanahan +1 holds a stable trajectory while staying very alive. This makes it a top choice for exploring riffles, current heads, current inlets and outlets, without constantly changing lures.

Versatile, it suits anglers targeting large pike as well as those going after perch and black bass around structure. Its size and swimming depth make it an all-around lure that naturally belongs in any box dedicated to freshwater predator fishing.

Usage tips

To get the best from the Megabass X Nanahan +1 jerkbait, pair it with a light to medium power rod with good sensitivity. A fine braid or moderate-diameter nylon maximizes casting distance and feel while preserving a natural action. Always adapt retrieve speed to fish behavior and water temperature.

In shallow areas, start with a straight retrieve punctuated by short pauses. If strikes are scarce, introduce sharp rod jerks followed by controlled slack to provoke irregular direction changes. In rivers or currents, position yourself to present the lure slightly angled to the flow to take full advantage of its ability to hold the current seam without falling off.

Don’t hesitate to vary rhythms: slow, persistent presentations in cold conditions or when fish are picky; faster, more aggressive retrieves when predators are actively hunting. This adaptability makes the X Nanahan +1 a formidable tool throughout the season.
