Megabass X Layer Super Soft Lure - 10.5 cm

Product highlights

The Megabass X Layer Super is a benchmark soft lure for demanding predator anglers. Designed to faithfully imitate a baitfish, it attracts both marine predators and wary freshwater gamefish. Its realistic profile combined with a very mobile, soft material produces a lifelike swimming action that provokes strikes when other lures fail.

Celebrated for many years, this model has become one of the most used soft baits in France for sea bass fishing from shore or boat, and also for targeting large zander in rivers and lakes. Its versatility makes it an invaluable tool for exploring varied habitats, depths and fishing conditions—whether drifting, towing or vertical fishing.

With a studied design, the X Layer Super blends discreet presentation with high attractiveness. It triggers bites from pressured fish in busy areas where louder or bulkier lures are quickly identified and ignored.

Technical characteristics

The Megabass X Layer Super soft lure was developed to deliver a precise, controlled action while remaining easy to use for most anglers. Its careful construction ensures great stability in currents and excellent behavior at different retrieve speeds.

• Finesse-style soft lure specifically designed for predator fishing in both salt and fresh water.
• Slender body and baitfish-like profile ideal for cautious predators.
• Premium soft material that is both durable and highly mobile for a smooth, lively action.
• Compatible with many techniques: steady retrieve, towing, vertical jigging, bump-and-hop or slow prospecting of deep zones.
• Works well with a standard jighead or a Texas rig to pass through cover and obstacles.
• Subtle swimming and fine vibrations, perfectly suited to educated fish and tough conditions.
• Effective on sea bass and zander, as well as other predators like perch or largemouth bass.

Advantages and strengths

The main strength of the X Layer Super lies in its ability to trigger bites from large, reluctant fish. Its natural action, even at very low speed, allows the lure to remain in the fish-holding zone for longer while maintaining maximum attractiveness. It is a top choice for working a breakline, rocky plateau, wreck or promising shoal.

Its excellent versatility enables anglers to cover many situations with a single lure type. By simply changing the jighead or rig, you can fish shallow flats as well as deeper holes, strong currents or calm waters. This adaptability makes it a must-have soft bait for a minimal yet effective tackle box.

Another major advantage is its long-lasting effectiveness season after season. Whether for opening-day outings, summer surface fishing or slow winter prospecting, the Megabass X Layer Super remains highly productive. It suits both novice anglers who appreciate its ease of use and experts seeking a technical lure for picky fish.

How to use

To get the most from the Megabass X Layer Super, adapt the rig and animation to the fished environment. In shallow areas or on flats, a slow steady retrieve with short pauses and light twitches mimics an injured baitfish and triggers aggressive strikes.

In rivers or on large zander lakes, the X Layer Super excels in vertical fishing or trolling. Let it sink close to the bottom, then animate with short pulls followed by controlled pauses. Most strikes occur on the fall, when the lure flutters gently and stays in the predator's field of view.

In snaggy areas or heavy cover, a Texas rig reduces hang-ups while preserving a convincing presentation. Vary retrieval speeds, focus on breaks, rock heads and marked edges, and don't hesitate to leave the lure still on the bottom for a few moments: the soft material keeps it alive even at rest.
