Product highlights

The Megabass Flap Slap LBO is a high-end hard predator lure designed to tempt the wariest fish. Heir to the original Flap Slap, it retains its ultra-natural action while integrating the LBO mass transfer system which significantly improves casting performance.

Thanks to its studied profile and precision design, the Flap Slap LBO generates strong vibrations while remaining very stable, even when retrieved fast. It perfectly imitates a struggling baitfish, triggering reflex strikes both in clear and murky water. Whether fishing from shore or boat, it stands out as a fast prospecting lure capable of efficiently covering large areas.

Advantages and key strengths

The main asset of the Flap Slap LBO Megabass lies in its exceptional versatility. Able to adapt to almost any situation, it can serve both as a rapid prospecting tool and as a precision lure to trigger following fish. Its ability to handle very fast retrieves without losing action, while remaining effective on minimalist animations, makes it a valuable ally year-round.

The LBO system brings a real benefit: the internal mass transfer enables longer, more accurate casts even in windy conditions, helping to reach distant or hard-to-reach spots. On the retrieve, this system also helps stabilize the action, reducing misses and improving hook-up rates. For the angler, this translates into better control of trajectory and running depth, essential on educated fish.

Another major advantage: the Flap Slap LBO keeps a strong attraction while remaining discreet. Its combined rolling and subtle wobbling action triggers both reflex strikes from active fish and attacks from sluggish predators posted near the bottom or structure. It is a technical yet accessible lure, suited for experienced enthusiasts as well as anglers progressing in their technique.

How to use

To exploit the full potential of the Megabass Flap Slap LBO, start with a medium-speed linear retrieve, rod tip low, to find the cadence that triggers strikes. Then vary by introducing sharp accelerations followed by short pauses: this stop-and-go animation perfectly imitates an injured fish trying to flee then freezing.

When fish are active, especially perch and bass, don’t hesitate to adopt a more aggressive jerkbait-style retrieve: give sharp twitches with the rod tip to make the lure dart laterally, then slightly ease the line. Sudden changes of direction often provoke strikes from following predators. In tougher conditions, slow the retrieve and make longer pauses to give hesitant fish time to decide.

Adapt retrieve speed to water temperature and fish activity: the colder the water, the slower the animation with pronounced pauses. In warm season or during surface chases, a fast and lively retrieve can make the difference. Test several cadences during the same drift to identify what works best on the day.
