Megabass IPX

Megabass iPX is a crankbait series developed by combining Brandon Palaniuk’s practical fishing experience with Yuki Ito’s engineering expertise, with the aim of maintaining bottom contact while diving at steep angles. It features the Forward Roll Weight Transfer System (PAT.P), in which the weight moves along two lanes positioned at the front and rear of the body, delivering both castability and aggressive diving performance. During the dive, the weight shifts forward to create a nose-down posture, while the “Polygon Hole” on the lip captures water pressure from a variety of diving angles.

Its sharp ultra-high-pitch action, strong vibration, and flash generated by its deep-bodied profile appeal to fish over a wide area, while the design also promotes rapid posture recovery after deflecting off cover. Even after contacting the bottom, it remains stable and easy to keep tracking along the terrain, making it suitable for sustained digging and dead-slow retrieves. The basic technique is to retrieve at a steady speed after casting, maintaining contact with the bottom and changes in structure. It also performs well when varying the retrieve speed according to conditions or deflecting off cover to make the lure rise. The iPX-12 measures 64 mm and weighs 5/8 oz., with a primary running depth of 12 ft and a maximum depth of 16 ft. The iPX-16 measures 74 mm and weighs 7/8 oz., with a primary running depth of 16 ft and a maximum depth of 18 ft, allowing anglers to choose between them according to size and diving range.
