The Megabass Karashi Twitch Bait is the ultimate next-generation Japanese finesse lure, revolutionizing how anglers target pressured, finicky bass in tough conditions. Measuring a compact 2.3 inches and weighing just 3/16 oz, this slow-sinking twitch bait delivers an incredibly versatile action profile in one small package.

Master multiple techniques with ease:

• Ultra-finesse i-motion — Use a super-slow retrieve to create a vulnerable, injured-bait wobble that tempts lethargic feeders.
• Sub-surface twitching — Sharp rod snaps produce agile darts and flashes that trigger explosive reaction strikes from following bass.
• Surface dog-walking — Rhythmic twitches generate a smooth, irresistible walk-the-dog action on top, with pauses allowing the lure to slow-sink and rise like a panicked baitfish.
• Bait-busting panic mode — Fast upward pops and speedy retrieves make it splash, leap, and skitter across the surface, drawing aggressive blow-ups from big fish.

Crafted with Megabass' legendary attention to detail, the Karashi features a realistic, anatomically accurate profile complete with 3D scales, raised gill rakers, lateral line details, and signature downward-facing eyes for maximum lifelike appeal. Equipped with premium #10 treble hooks (including a tinsel teaser on the rear), it comes ready to fool even the wariest trophy bass.

Perfect for finesse fishing, BFS setups, or light spinning gear, the Karashi excels in clear water, high-pressure lakes, and when bass demand something different from traditional jerkbaits or spybaits. Whether you're dead-sticking on a slow retrieve or walking it erratically, this compact powerhouse turns tough days into unforgettable ones.

Elevate your finesse game with the Megabass Karashi Twitch Bait — the spicy secret weapon (named after Japanese mustard for its "kick") that's changing bass fishing one bite at a time.

The G-Ratt Baits Pistol Pete Swimbaits weighs 1.2 ounces and is a slow sinking bait. This is a very unique glide bait. You can slow retrieve it for a nice gliding action. You can swoop the rod tip for the bait to glide to one side and pause and swoop again to bring it back to the other side. A favorite retrieve is reel cranking it to make a very fast darting action back and forth like a fleeing baitfish. You can do little twitches of the rod with just the tip of the rod while reeling and the baits head will rock left to right which will imitate a swimming baitfish.

The bait can also be “waked” on a slow retrieve when brought to the surface. It has a beautiful tight subtle rolling wake which we’ve found effective early mornings and late evenings. Our new weighting system adds a realistic rattling sound. This bait has a slow sinking ratio of 1 foot in 2-3 seconds. The Pistol Pete comes equipped with two size 4 hooks. The hooks can be changed if desired. The tails are easily replaceable. 

Pistol Pete is a scaled-down version of Sneaky Pete. Coming complete with strong components, rotating hook hangers and 3X hooks to ensure you land more fish! Pistol Pete is weighted with steel bearings to produce a nice rattling sound to help enhance that big bite!
