In fact, you’ll not find a jerkbait that gives you as many easy to use options.   A great variation on an already proven fish catching machine!

Drifter Tackle Doc Topwater Lure have been one of the hottest plugs for East Coast Stripers for over 10 years.  It not only works on the east coast, it works from coast to coast on largemouth, stripers and more. For a long time, the unpainted “Bone” colored Doc’s were some what of a mystery.  Over the past couple years, as tackle shops have begun to stock them, the name and reputation has grown. 

These “Walk The Dog” top water plugs create a violent side to side action, and unmatched loud rattle unlike anything Striper have ever seen.  Striped Bass literally can not ignore them!

These lures come equipped with stainless steel hardware, and 4/0 VMC Perma Steel hooks able to hold up to the Saltwater environment.

The Megabass Great Hunting Humpback is an ideal to explore new streams where trout of all sizes roam. Its fast-sink tuning and tail weighting power smooth casts, flickering falls and stable swimming through everything the toughest mountain streams can bring.The Great Hunting Humpback's heavy tail-weighting also generates a wriggling, falling action to coax bites out of pools and allow for range adjustment along deep cut banks. and its bigger 51mm and 64mm lengths, have a tall body that generates outsized flash at every retrieve speed.

Designed primarily for stable retrieves with and against current, anglers can also spice up their offering with twitches and jerks to power escape action that attract reaction bites from veteran trophies. In swifter streams and deeper pools, these lures show their true power by reaching depth quicker than conventional minnows and permitting a high degree of range control. If your targets are chasing  the GH64 or GH51 without biting, try downsizing to the smaller GH46 size and/or speeding up your retrieve and twitch action.

The Megabass Ito Vision 110 FX Tour Premium Jerkbait combines Megabass’ advanced FX technology with the proven ONETEN body and engineering to create a jerkbait that casts 15-20% farther and has an even more erratic action.

The Variable Resistance Flap Bill, is at the heart of Megabass FX technology. This hinged bill folds in closer to the line tie during casting for a more aerodynamic profile, then flips up and down when you are jerking and pausing the bait for a more erratic option that isn't quite achievable with the standard vision 110 Created based on the demands of the top Megabass US pros, it also responds more dynamically to angler input for even more control and an even wider range of actions.

Available in a range of incredible Megabass colors, the Megabass Ito Vision 110 FX Tour Premium Jerkbait gets extreme. Perfect for high pressured fisheries that requires that secret bait to be erupted out of the box, in order to put fish on the deck time after time!

The Megabass Destroyer P5 (JDM) F6-69X Super Destroyer is perhaps the epitome of the series, harnessing the successive technologies of each generation to challenge preconceptions of heavy-action angling. Built on a compact 6’9” frame, the 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM harnesses greater power per inch to deliver quick, destructive hooksets and submission-inducing lifting power.

The SUPER DESTROYER’s outstanding balance is geared towards a tip-up ready posture, the perfect battle stance for lure manipulation and lightning-fast hooksets. Not only does the shorter overall length contribute to faster hooksets, it also increases maneuverability, close-quarters control, and opens up new angling avenues to challenge traditional heavy-cover games.

Revolution brings destructive change. This DESTROYER is king of them all.

In 1995, Yuki Ito prototyped the Destroyer® of traditional bass rods, drawing upon his hand-carved ARMS to unleash an unrivaled fusion of craft and technological innovation upon the Japanese bass market. Each subsequent generation of Destroyer® reached beyond the standards and conventions of their time to establish a new benchmark. A quarter-century later, “Project Living Legend” was established to ensure that each cycle of destruction and creation through innovation preserved Megabass’ rich DNA, bringing anglers ever-closer to the ideal.

Guided by this spirit, the LAIHA program gave birth to a limited concept rod series in 2019, developed to test and refine standard-destroying technologies to push innovation past present limits. From this tireless effort, the 5-D Graphite System was born. Representing a paradigm shift in the blank construction process, 5-D enables a more perfect realization of the Destroyer® through a new method of patterning and layering, unlocking untold potential.

Thus, with each generation, all change—especially destructive—is embraced in the technological pursuit of the angling ideal. Out of this cycle, Destroyer® rises anew to challenge anglers to new heights.

ZALDAIN 3D DYNAMICS PERFORMANCE GRIP

Inspired by Chris Zaldain’s fight in the top echelons of the world’s oldest and toughest bass fishing circuit, the B.A.S.S. Elite Series, ZALDAIN 3D DYNAMICS strives towards a more perfect union of angler and equipment. Each hand-formed carbon fiber handle takes shape as if custom made for each angler’s hands, providing comfortable contours for enhanced grip and the superior vibration transmission properties of carbon material.

 IBCS:

Guided by angler bionomics, the Megabass original IBCS reel seat is an achievement in angler/equipment integration, ushering in a new era of comfort, utility, and performance. Minimalistic grip contours and stable short-trigger design allow for intuitive grip transitions as the angler moves through the cycle of casting, rod work, hookset and landing. Blank contact areas are maximized to deliver precise feedback without sacrificing control. Carefully formed squat-trigger design is wide and short to provide the grip you need to cast heavy lures and manage hard-pulling crankbaits.

Regardless of your preferred style, the new IBCS seat inspires confident grip for every situation.

To further reduce unnecessary weight and improve performance, the Destroyer® utilizes a smaller-diameter thread made of special fiber, which allows for tighter, more effective guide wraps. This not only minimizes the wrap area and associated epoxy to reduce weight—it minimizes any negative impact that hard epoxy guide wraps can have on the natural bend-curve of the blank. The result is a smoother, more intuitive blank with minimalistic threading for maximum strength and performance.

END BALANCER (COLOR: BRONZE METEO)

Weight-saving improvements in blank construction, thread wrapping method, reel seat and head locker design result in a lighter rod, which allows for lighter counterweights to achieve the ideal “Takumi” balance for each application. Even the F6-69X, which is balanced for a tip-up posture for heavy-cover applications utilizes a mere 8g counterweight contained in the END BALANCER’s machined metal form. To reflect this achievement, the shining gold end cap emblem of previous generations has been updated to an understated “Bronze Meteo” finish.

5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM

Megabass Destroyer P5 F6-69X Super Destroyer. The blank technology newly developed through the experimental LAIHA project is the 5-D GRAPHITE SYSTEM. As the name implies, this blank construction methodology leverages five prepreg patterns to best address five elements—vertical axis, horizontal axis, oblique axis, elongation and elasticity—and combine each in a painstaking puzzle matrix to maximize the application-specific performance of every blank. The cohesiveness of each completed puzzle enables a fusion of disparate parts, reducing the unnecessary prepreg overlap of traditional patterning and layering. This not only reduces material waste; it allows for a more precisely smooth taper and seamless load transition for truly intuitive performance.

DESTROYER HEAD LOCKING SYSTEM 3

Based on the machined-aluminum head-locking structure developed in the LAIHA concept project, the new Destroyer® HEAD LOCKING SYSTEM 3 is optimized for production status. The structure is the lightest of all Destroyer® series to-date, minimizing any potential interference in blank resonance and vibration transmission through the reel, in addition to highlighting the purpose-built elegance of each rod model.
