Megabass Anthrax

Megabass’s ANTHRAX is designed to produce multiple actions depending on retrieve speed and rod manipulation, using its Roller Gyro Balancer System (PAT.P.). Inside the body are a shaft balancer positioned along the roll axis and a ball weight that shifts from side to side. As the ball weight moves, it amplifies the inertia of the rolling action while striking the inner walls of the body to produce a regular clicking sound. When the lure lands on the water or is paused, the weight settles to one side, allowing the action to start easily the moment the retrieve begins.

On a slow retrieve, it produces a super-rolling action on the surface, while the belly fin (anal fin) tails from side to side, parting the water and creating a distinctive triangular wake and flash. As the retrieve speed increases, it transitions to a subsurface action, rolling approximately 10–20 cm below the surface. When slapped with a jerk, it creates splashes and bubbles on the surface, while stop-and-go retrieves produce fluttering after the dive and a rise-up action that imitates the movement of fleeing baitfish. Its body design, which exposes the back beneath the surface, is another distinctive feature. With its 83 mm, 3/8 oz. floating configuration, it can search from the surface to just below the surface at speeds and with control suited to the situation.
