Megabass Onimaru Sawara Tune Metal Blade Lure - 30 g

Product highlights

The Megabass Onimaru Sawara Tune is a metal blade developed for demanding marine predator fishing. Its design relies on precise balancing derived from studies of predator hunting behavior. In action, it adopts a realistic horizontal swim that imitates a frantic baitfish, while producing tight, powerful vibrations at all retrieval speeds. This vibratory signature makes it highly effective on both active fish and wary or educated targets.

Its compact, dense profile allows it to quickly reach fish holding zones, even in the presence of current or wind, and facilitates rapid searches across large water areas. Marked lateral lines reinforce the visual appeal of the lure and help predators locate it even when visibility is reduced.

A hook mounted on a rolling swivel completes this technical setup. This configuration effectively limits line twist and leverage during the fight, which helps reduce unhooks and break-offs while improving the landing rate.

Technical specifications

• Compact profile for long casts and fast descent through the water column.
• Visual lateral lines to enhance attraction for predators.
• Hook fitted on a rolling swivel to limit twists and unhooks.
• Sawara Tune version engineered for fast animations and increased resistance to predator teeth.
• Suitable for saltwater fishing, from shore or boat, and for some freshwater predator fishing situations.

Advantages and key strengths

The main advantage of the Megabass Onimaru Sawara Tune lies in its ability to maintain a clean, attractive swim even at very high speed. It does not veer off, stays perfectly on axis and continues to vibrate, allowing fast presentations that trigger predators' reflex strikes. This versatility enables exploration of multiple levels of the water column by alternating steady retrieves, pulls, or saw-tooth animations near the bottom.

The presence of a hook mounted on a rolling swivel offers a real safety gain. By limiting the lure's leverage during the fight, it greatly reduces the risk of the fish using the blade's weight to unhook itself. This setup also helps avoid tangles between the hook and the leader during casts and descent phases.

Finally, the overall robustness of the Sawara Tune version and its increased resistance to marine predator teeth make it a suitable choice for intensive sessions and destinations where fish are particularly powerful and aggressive.

Usage tips

The Onimaru Sawara Tune is used both for steady retrieves and vertical presentation. When prospecting, cast far ahead, let the lure descend to the desired depth, then retrieve at a steady speed while maintaining slight contact with the blade to feel the vibrations. Vary the speed until you find the rhythm that provokes the most strikes.

To focus on an area where fish are located, alternate short rod pulls with controlled pauses to make the lure dart and then let it glide toward the bottom. This animation highlights the Onimaru's ability to stay horizontal while continuing to vibrate, perfectly mimicking an injured fish.

Adapt your leader length and strength to the targeted species and the environment encountered. A quality, well-tied leader will complement the lure's design, which already reduces tangles and optimizes hook security.

FAQ

Question 1 : Is this lure suitable only for saltwater fishing?

Answer: It is optimized for marine predator fishing, but can also be used in some freshwater predator situations when fish feed on small baitfish and respond well to vibrating blades.

Question 2 : How to limit snags on the bottom with this type of metal blade?

Answer: It is recommended to use controlled animations, avoiding letting the lure rest on the bottom for too long. Using short pulls followed by controlled pauses exploits the Onimaru's horizontal swim while limiting snag risks.

Question 3 : Should a specific leader be used with this lure?

Answer: A leader adapted to the strength of the targeted fish and the environment (abrasion, structures, teeth) will allow you to fully benefit from the Sawara Tune's durability and secure your fights, especially during fast and intense fishing sessions.
