Product benefits

Designed for modern predator fishing, the Megabass I SLIDE 187 R Intermediate is a suspending swimbait that delivers an exceptionally natural presentation. Its generous profile represents a premium-sized meal capable of provoking strikes from educated fish without alarming more cautious individuals.

Thanks to its specifically reworked internal weighting and the precise assembly of its two sections, this Megabass swimbait offers great stability and immediate responsiveness to the angler's input. It efficiently covers a variety of holding areas, from well-defined spots to more open edges.

• Soft, steady S-action when retrieved in a straight line.
• Suspending behavior to hold its depth during pauses.
• Redesigned interchangeable rubber tail to accentuate swimming undulations.

Technical specifications

• Two-section articulated swimbait for smooth, realistic swimming.
• Optimized internal balance to improve stability and reactivity.
• Suspending action allowing the lure to hold long pauses in front of fish.
• Natural S-action during simple straight retrieves, no complex animation required.
• Interchangeable rubber tail for adapting presentation to wear or angler preference.
• Designed for freshwater predator fishing with slow to moderate retrieves.

The combination of an articulated body and calibrated density gives the I SLIDE 187 R Intermediate a visual and vibratory signature very close to real forage fish. The work on internal balance reduces the risk of swimming disruption, even during speed changes or uneven currents.

Advantages and key features

The main strength of this predator lure lies in its ability to trigger strikes from educated fish often accustomed to stronger vibrations. Its S-action is naturally broad yet discreet, attracting without alarming—making it ideal for heavily fished areas.

Its suspending behavior is a major advantage for technical fishing. During pauses, the lure holds its depth, imitating a hesitant or immobilized prey—situations that frequently provoke reflex strikes. This feature provides precise control over presentation time within predator holding zones.

• Versatile lure for methodically sweeping marked spots or edges.
• Perfect for focusing on areas where hesitant fish hold.
• Accessible animation even for less experienced anglers thanks to effective simple retrieves.
• Careful finish true to the Megabass reputation for enhanced durability and realism.

Usage tips

To get the most from the I SLIDE 187 R Intermediate suspending swimbait, favor slow to medium-speed retrieves. A simple straight retrieve is enough to produce its characteristic S-action. Slightly vary line tension and retrieve cadence to change the swim amplitude and provoke different reactions.

Alternate retrieval phases with pronounced pauses. Allow the lure to stabilize in the water column for a few seconds to exploit its suspending behavior. This approach is especially effective when fish follow without striking: the pause simulates a vulnerable prey and often triggers the bite.

• Cast beyond the target area and retrieve slowly through it.
• Focus around breaks, structure and depth changes where predators commonly hold.
• Adjust pause duration according to fish activity—longer in cold water, shorter when activity is high.
