Jerkbait

Karashi is Japanese mustard. Megabass named it for the kick — a small bait that does something sharp enough to break a fish out of a bad mood.

Short version: 2.3", 3/16 oz, slow-sinking, #10 trebles with a tinsel teaser on the rear hook. Built for BFS and light spinning gear, and for the days when everything bigger gets followed and refused.

Four Presentations, One Lure

The reason to own a Karashi is that it isn't one bait. Change what your rod tip does and you change what it is:

• Ultra-finesse i-motion. A super-slow retrieve produces a vulnerable, injured wobble. This is the one for lethargic, cold-front fish that won't chase anything.
• Sub-surface twitching. Sharp rod snaps make it dart and flash just under the film — the presentation that converts a follower into a biter.
• Surface dog-walking. Rhythmic twitches walk it on top. Pause, and because it's slow-sinking it settles and then rises like a panicked baitfish. That pause is where a lot of the bites happen.
• Bait-busting panic mode. Fast upward pops and a quick retrieve make it splash, leap and skitter — pure reaction, for aggressive fish.

Work through all four before deciding the bait isn't producing. Most anglers try one, get nothing, and put it away.

Slow-Sinking Is the Point

A floating bait sits on top and a sinking bait falls away. This one hangs — it descends slowly enough that you can fish the pause as a presentation rather than as dead time.

That's what makes the dog-walk different here: stop the retrieve and the bait doesn't just sit there waiting, it settles and rises. Count the pause out. Two seconds, then four, then six, until something answers.

The Detail Work

Megabass builds this with 3D scales, raised gill rakers, lateral line detail and their signature downward-facing eyes. On a 2.3" bait none of that is decoration — in the clear, pressured water this thing is designed for, a fish gets a long close look before it commits.

The rear treble carries a tinsel teaser, which adds flash and a little undulation at rest. It's part of the bait's action, not a garnish.

Karashi Finesse or Karashi 80?

Megabass's naming doesn't help here — one is a word, the other is a number. This is the smaller of the two.

When It Beats a Jerkbait or a Spybait

• High-pressure lakes. Fish that have refused every jerkbait on the water haven't necessarily seen this action.
• Clear water, close inspection. The finish detail earns its money exactly where fish get a long look.
• Cold fronts and lethargic fish — the ultra-slow i-motion retrieve is a genuine dead-stick alternative.
• When you don't know what they want. Four presentations on one cast beats retying four times.

Fishing It Around Santa Clarita

This is the bait for late summer on a lake that's been hammered all season. We publish Castaic Lake fishing reports with current conditions — worth reading before you decide which presentation to lead with.

Recommended Gear

• Rod: BFS or light spinning, light power with a forgiving tip. #10 trebles pull out of fish on stiff blanks — this is not a bait for a heavy rod.
• Line: light braid to a fluorocarbon leader, or straight light fluoro for the sub-surface work.
• For the surface presentations, mono or a braid-to-mono leader floats and helps hold the nose up.

Pro Tips from the Tackle Express Crew

• Work the pause. On a slow-sinking bait the pause is the presentation, not the gap between them.
• Wait to feel weight on surface strikes. Setting on the splash pulls a 2.3" bait clean out of a fish's mouth.
• Change the retrieve before you change the lure. Four presentations means most "it isn't working" days are "I only tried one thing" days.
• Check the tinsel treble. It's part of the action. When it's matted or bent, the bait is a different lure.

Common Mistakes

• Fishing it on too stiff a rod. The most common reason anglers lose fish on small-treble Japanese baits.
• Treating the pause as dead time. It's slow-sinking for a reason.
• Only using one presentation. You bought four.
• Setting on sight. Wait for the weight.

Frequently Asked Questions

How big is it?
2.3 inches and 3/16 oz.

Does it float or sink?
Slow-sinking. On the pause it settles rather than staying on top, then rises when you start it again.

Karashi Finesse or Karashi 80?
This is the smaller one — for pressured fish, clear water, and BFS or light spinning gear. The 80 is the larger, for a bigger silhouette and longer casts.

What does "Karashi" mean?
Japanese mustard. Megabass named it for the kick.

What rod should I use?
BFS or light spinning with a forgiving tip. #10 trebles tear out of fish on stiff rods.

What's the tinsel on the back hook for?
Flash and a little movement at rest. It's part of the action — when it mats down or the hook bends, the bait behaves differently.

Which presentation should I start with?
Sub-surface twitching. If fish follow without committing, move to the dog-walk and then the panic retrieve.

Can I replace the tinsel treble?
Yes — Megabass makes an OEM tinsel treble specifically for this bait. Call the shop for availability.

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 Vision Oneten +1 Jr. Jerkbait brings snack-sized, irresistible darting action to new depths. Tuned to match the suspend settings of the Bassmaster Classic winning, the smaller Jr. size is a wildly effective tool to attack the key 7ft range. No detail has been spared. From the first twitch, the Jr. exhibits the same unrivaled, dynamic action that catapulted the ONETEN series onto the front deck of serious Jerkbait anglers.

The Oneten+1 Jr. delivers mesmerizingly erratic jerking action. With a straight retrieve, it exhibits high pitch rolling and seductive flash. With a tungsten Multiway Moving Balancer System (PAT.) for superior cast distance, sticky-sharp trebles to capture hard-won bites, and a hand-painted artisan finish, the VISION ONETEN+1 Jr is built to match smaller forage and/or entice pre-spawn targets that follow the larger original version without committing.

The Megabass Vision 110 Jr. harnesses the winning features of the highly acclaimed Vision 110 jerkbait in a compact 98mm (3.85in) size, delivering a high level of action per inch that outshines even its larger counterpart.

The expertly crafted Vision 110 Jr. has been revamped from the ground up to enhance the dynamic movements of the original and broaden the jerkbait series. Distilled from the ONETEN, this smaller version showcases exaggerated darting and rolling patterns, as well as enticing wobbling and rolling actions. Thanks to the dual-tungsten weights of the Megabass Multiway Moving Balancer System (PAT.), this compact lure offers exceptional casting distance.

• DEPTH: 6FT
• TYPE: SUSPENDING
• LENGTH: 4-1/3″
• WEIGHT: 1/2OZ
• HOOKS: #6 KATSUAGE

There is perhaps no other jerkbait that is more coveted than the Megabass Vision OneTen.  The tungsten weights increase casting distance and allow for a more slender bait, reducing drag in the water when retrieved.  

The Katsuage hooks that come stock on the Vision 110 are light wire for easy penetration correct balance.  Megabass intends this bait to be fished on light line, preferably 6 to 10lb pound test.  Using light line allows the bait to reach its optimal swimming depth of four to six feet, but also enables the bait to move more freely in the water.  

Retrieved properly, the Vision 110 not only darts from side to side but it does so in an arching fashion shooting up, and then back down as you jerk your rod tip.  Additionally, as the bait is being pulled in the water it moves sideways from top to bottom giving off a color and flash, but it also has a rear movement from side to side.  Heavier line and hooks have the potential to impede action taking the bait out of its factory tuned equilibrium.

The Megabass ONETEN+2 delivers the ONETEN’s legendary jerkbait action into the strike-zone of a new class of suspended bass. Designed to target the 12ft range on 12lb fluoro, the ONETEN+2 showcases the same erratic action, responsiveness and unrivaled performance as the ONETEN jerkbait.

Painstakingly-developed lip and patented tungsten balancer system power bombing casts, steep dive-angle and nimble retrieves, sending the ONETEN’s exquisitely-finished body into the depths to target game-changing largemouth and smallmouth bass.

The Owner Cultiva Mira Shad is a 2" forage-size suspending crankbait that consistently outfishes larger presentations when fish are locked on small baitfish. With Cultiva's exclusive Living Eyes, chattering rattles, and a transparent holographic finish that throws flash from every angle, it looks alive in the water — and it fishes just as lively. Deadly on trout, bass, and walleye from the moment you tie it on.

Two Inches of Trouble

Don't let the size fool you. At 1/7 oz and 2", the Mira Shad matches the fry and small shad profile that trout and pressured bass key on when nothing else is working. It suspends neutrally at 4–5 ft on the pause, which means it sits right in the feeding lane and won't move until you tell it to. Two #10 Owner Stinger-36 Super Needle Point trebles are factory-rigged and sharp enough to stick on the lightest touch.

When Big Baits Get Ignored

On heavily pressured water — stocked trout lakes, clear reservoirs, tournament-fished bass fisheries — fish get educated fast. They've seen 3" and 4" jerkbaits all season. The Mira Shad's forage-sized profile slips under their guard. Combined with the chattering rattle and holographic flash, it triggers reaction strikes even from fish that have shut down on standard presentations.

What Sets It Apart

• Cultiva Living Eyes — High-contrast, realistic eyes add a focal point that draws strikes from reactive fish
• Transparent Holographic Finish — Reflects light from multiple angles; mimics the iridescent flank of a small shad or fry
• Chattering Rattles — Internal sound chamber calls fish in from distance, especially effective in stained water
• Neutral Suspension — Holds at 4–5 ft on the pause; doesn't rise or sink out of the strike zone
• Owner Stinger-36 Trebles — Two #10 Super Needle Point hooks; razor-sharp right out of the package
• Forage-Size Profile — 2" matches fry, small shad, and juvenile baitfish that pressured fish prefer

The Right Pick If…

• Fish are ignoring larger jerkbaits or crankbaits
• You're fishing stocked trout lakes or clear reservoirs with heavy pressure
• You need to match a small shad, fry, or juvenile baitfish hatch
• You want one bait that works both on a cast-and-retrieve and behind a slow troll
• Walleye or bass are suspending at 4–5 ft and need a finesse presentation

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jerk-pause — Two quick twitches, pause 3–5 seconds; the suspend does the work on neutral fish
• Slow troll — 1–2 mph behind a kayak or electric motor; dives to 4–5 ft and tracks true
• Cast and steady retrieve — Works as a shallow crankbait when fish are actively feeding
• Deadstick pause — In cold water, extend the pause to 10+ seconds; motionless suspension triggers lockjaw trout and bass

Best Conditions

• Clear water where flash and detail trigger strikes at range
• Cold water (fall through spring) when fish need a smaller, slower target
• Stocked trout fisheries where fish are conditioned to small forage
• Early morning and evening when fish move shallow to the 4–5 ft range

Best For

• Rainbow & Brown Trout (lakes, reservoirs, tailwaters)
• Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass (finesse presentations)
• Walleye (slow troll and jerk-pause)
• Crappie and Panfish (finesse jigging retrieve)
• Any situation requiring a forage-size suspending presentation

Tackle Express Tips

• Use light line. 4–6 lb fluorocarbon is the sweet spot — it lets the bait suspend true, dive to full depth, and stays nearly invisible. Heavy line kills the action and floats the bait out of the zone.
• Try it for trout behind a kayak. A slow 1–1.5 mph troll with the Mira Shad in Brown Trout or Shiner colors over weed edges is devastatingly effective on planted trout in clear lakes.
• Slow the pause down when it's cold. Below 50°F, count to 10 after each twitch. Trout and bass in cold water need the bait to sit still longer before they commit — most anglers don't wait long enough.

FAQ

Q: Is this the same as the Rip'n Minnow 65?
A: No — the Mira Shad is smaller (2" vs. 2.5") and lighter (1/7 oz vs. 1/4 oz), and it's a more finesse-oriented profile. Both suspend, but the Mira Shad is built specifically to match fry and small shad, making it a better choice when fish are keyed on very small forage.

Q: Can I use this for walleye?
A: Absolutely. The Mira Shad is an excellent slow-troll walleye lure. Run it at 1–2 mph behind a slow-rolling boat or kayak at 4–5 ft over weed flats and sand transitions. Brown Trout and Gold Shiner colors work particularly well.

Q: What line should I use?
A: 4–6 lb fluorocarbon. It lets the bait reach its full depth rating, maintains neutral suspension, and is practically invisible in the clear water where this bait performs best. Avoid heavy mono — it floats the nose up and kills the suspending action.

The Owner Rip'n Minnow 65 is a compact, high-detail suspending jerkbait built to trigger bass that won't commit. At 2.5" and 1/4 oz, it sits perfectly in the strike zone on every pause — and with living eyes, internal rattles, and a reflective foil finish, it looks and sounds like the real thing on the way down. This is the bait you reach for when the water is cold, clear, and the fish are tight-lipped.

Stays Down. Stays Deadly.

Most jerkbaits float up on the pause — and that's exactly when a bass turns away. The Rip'n Minnow 65 suspends neutrally, hanging in place at 3–4 ft while the fish decides. Pair it with 6–8 lb fluorocarbon and it dives a touch deeper, tracks more true, and draws more bites from fish that have seen everything else. Rigged with Owner Stinger 31 cutting point trebles that are sharp enough to stick on the lightest pressure.

When Standard Crankbaits Come Up Empty

In cold water or post-front conditions, bass go neutral — they follow baits but don't commit. A floating jerkbait rises away during the pause; a sinking jerkbait drops out of the zone. The Rip'n Minnow 65 hangs right where the fish is sitting, giving it all the time it needs to decide. That pause is often the difference between a swing and a miss and a fish in the net.

What Sets It Apart

• Suspending Buoyancy — Neutral suspension holds at 3–4 ft on the pause; doesn't float up or sink away
• Living Eyes — Realistic, high-contrast eyes add depth and trigger reaction strikes
• Internal Rattles — Sound chamber calls fish from a distance in stained or low-visibility water
• Reflective Foil Finish — Multi-angle flash mimics a disoriented baitfish on the pause
• Owner Stinger 31 Trebles — Thin-wire cutting point hooks; extremely sharp, ideal for light-biting fish
• Fluorocarbon-Friendly Design — Dives slightly deeper and suspends more true on fluoro vs. mono

The Right Pick If…

• You're fishing clear water where fish can see every detail of the bait
• Water temps are below 55°F and fish are sluggish or neutral
• You need a smaller profile to match finesse forage like small shad or fry
• Fish are following your larger jerkbaits but not committing
• You want a jerkbait that works on both a jerk-pause cadence and a straight retrieve

Best Fishing Techniques

• Jerk-pause-pause — Two sharp twitches followed by a 3–5 second pause; let the suspending action do the work
• Steady retrieve — Dives to 3–4 ft and wobbles; effective when bass are actively feeding
• Long pause dead-stick — In very cold water (sub-50°F), hold for 10+ seconds; neutral fish can't resist a stationary target
• Twitch over shallow cover — Work over submerged grass edges, dock posts, and laydowns at the 3–4 ft range

Best Conditions

• Cold water (fall through early spring) — suspending action is most effective when fish metabolism is low
• Clear water — living eyes and foil finish are most visible; fish can pick out detail at range
• Post-front bluebird days — neutral fish need the pause to commit
• Shallow to mid-depth structure in the 3–6 ft range

Best For

• Largemouth & Smallmouth Bass
• Spotted Bass (Kentucky Bass)
• Trout in reservoirs and tailwaters
• Walleye on slow jerk-pause presentations
• Any situation requiring a small, realistic suspending profile

Models & Specs

Specs are loaded dynamically from product metafields. Rip'n Minnow 65: 2.5" length, 1/4 oz, suspending, dives 3–4 ft. Available colors: Baby Bass, Rainbow Ghost, Shiner, Golden Shiner, Perch, Pink Passion.

Tackle Express Tips

• Go fluoro. 6–8 lb fluorocarbon is the right pairing — it sinks slightly, helping the bait suspend more true and dive a touch deeper than mono. It's also nearly invisible in clear water where this bait shines.
• Handle the hooks carefully. The Stinger 31 trebles are thin-wire by design — that's what makes them so sharp and effective on light-biting fish. Use needle-nose pliers or a dehooker at the boat; don't bend them trying to free a deeply hooked fish.
• Slow your pause down in cold water. Most anglers don't pause long enough. In water below 50°F, count to 10 after each twitch. Bass in cold water need time — make the bait wait for them.

FAQ

Q: What's the difference between suspending and floating jerkbaits?
A: A floating jerkbait rises toward the surface on the pause, pulling it out of the strike zone. A suspending jerkbait like the Rip'n Minnow 65 holds its depth, giving neutral fish the time they need to commit without the bait moving away from them.

Q: Can I use this bait on braid or mono?
A: Yes, but fluorocarbon is strongly recommended. Mono floats and will cause the bait to rise slightly on the pause. Braid has near-zero stretch, which can pull the hooks on light-biting fish. Fluoro gives the best suspend, the best feel, and the best hook retention.

Q: The hooks seem fragile — is that normal?
A: Yes, and intentional. Thin-wire hooks flex slightly, which prevents the fish from using the hook as a lever to throw the bait. They're not designed for heavy-cover flipping — they're designed for open-water jerkbait fishing where that flex is an advantage. Use a net whenever possible.

Specifications

Building on the classic articulated body style, the Rapala Scatter Rap® Jointed swims with an irresistible, seductive action. The jointed body combined with a Scatter Lip takes action to the "Nth" degree, triggering strikes from otherwise uninterested or hesitant fish.

The undulating action created by the body style and Scatter Lip loses, then regains tracking, often the movement many fish strike.

We all know longer casts mean more water covered and the Rapala X-Rap Long Cast allows you to do just that.  Rapala has increased the weight of the 14 size to 1 7/8oz from the original X-Rap which weighs 1 1/2oz.  That's 3/8oz more weight for approximately 25% additional casting distance.  If you make 100 casts at 30 feet per cast you'd cover 3000 feet.  By using the Rapala X-Rap Long Cast, that means you will cover 750 more feet in the same period of time!  That a lot of acreage covered just by using this lure.  

We are excited about fishing this long cast version for yellowtail, calico bass, and tuna.  Often times the fish are boat shy and getting just a few yards more on a cast can make that difference between a good day and a great day.  They all feature 3X strong VMC single tin hooks for maximum penetration and strength.

Sinking 

Silent (No rattles, we like that!)

The Rapala X-Rap Slashbait is killer in Spring and Fall but works year round when fish are chasing bait fish.  Suspending X-Rap® Saltwater lures are designed to be cast or trolled and display the X-Rap Attitude these baits are known for.

Built to withstand saltwater fisheries with Perma Steel 3X hooks, these baits can be cast or trolled. Rip 'em for xtreme, erratic Slashbait® action or troll for classic Rapala ® "wounded-minnow" action. Prominent scales and lateral line, internal holographic foil for optimum flash combine with internal long-cast system and 3D holographic eyes to create the ultimate fishing lure.
