Overview

The Megabass X-80, affectionately known as "Hachimaru" (Eighty), has become a staple in saltwater fishing. Its impact extends beyond Japan, dominating the European barramundi (European seabass) scene and even making waves in Australian tidal tournaments. The name "X-80" is synonymous with "living legend" in the global sea bass community, consistently delivering unparalleled results.

A Collaboration of Legends

Yuki Ito, the creator of the original Hachimaru, and Masanori Muraoka, a pioneer who recognized its potential and introduced it to the saltwater world, have reunited to develop a new legend.

Specs

• Length: 115.0mm
• Weight: 17.5g

Megabass IXI SHAD TYPE-R

The I x I SHAD TYPE-R is the ultimate secret weapon. This high-pitch, high-stability shad is designed to maintain a shallow range of 1 meter, allowing you to quickly search a wide area and reliably convert bites into catches.

Key Features

• Maintains a shallow running depth of approximately 1 meter.
• High-pitch, high-stability action for efficient searching.
• Designed to convert bites into catches.

Action

The distinct retrieve resistance creates a new dimension of high-pitch screw-roll action. This is particularly effective in vast, flat lakes like Lake Kasumigaura.

Performance

The "forward somersault" posture enables clear bottom touching, greatly expanding bite opportunities when contacting structures or the bottom. Its high appeal through ultra-fast flashing effectively entices tough, clever fish, marking a new dimension in shad performance.

Specifications

• Length: 57.0mm
• Weight: 1/4 oz
• Type: Slow Floating
• Diving Depth: Max 1.0m (with 10lb Fluorocarbon line)
• Hook Size: #8

Overview

The legendary LIVE-X, the origin of Megabass's injection-molded lures, returns with overwhelming fishing performance! It's not a shad, not a minnow, and certainly not a crankbait. It is THE LIVE-X.

Key Features

• LBO II System: The state-of-the-art hydrodynamics with the LBO II system generates ultra-high-speed flashing and produces a lifelike action flawlessly, from ultra-dead slow to ultra-fast retrieves.
• Live Bait Performance: Its primary focus is on forcibly triggering the feeding switch of neutral fish in any situation, just like a live bait.
• Long Distance Castability: The aerodynamic form, derived from approximately 800 hours of wind tunnel testing by Yuki Ito, achieves approximately 30% greater casting distance compared to lures of the same volume, even in headwinds and crosswinds. This allows for broader and more diverse range coverage.
• Shallow Water Expertise: Excels in shallow water less than 2m deep, where traditional diving crankbaits struggle. It exhibits excellent snag-avoidance and continues to entice tough fish.
• Deep Water Awakening: The feeding awakening ability, enticing cruising fish to feed from depths of 3.5m or more, is a unique characteristic of the LIVE-X, further updating the special abilities of the original LIVE-X.

Target Species

Designed to catch tough fish that shads can't reach. It triggers the feeding switch of neutral fish that don't respond to jerkbaits like the ONETEN. It reliably targets slow fish that dislike the vibrations of crankbaits.

Specifications

• Length: 74mm
• Weight: 3/8 oz

The X-80, affectionately known as "Hachimaru," continues to dominate the world's saltwater scene as a staple lure. Yuki Ito, the creator of the Hachimaru, has developed the next legend: the X-80 MAGNUM.

While retaining the unique shiner body form, the X-80 MAGNUM significantly increases the body length. It surpasses the conventional actions of 100mm+ seabass lures, generating an extremely lifelike movement and unprecedented stimulating waves. It compels monsters roaming the vast open shallows into an overwhelming feeding mode with a natural impact that exceeds even live bait.

Furthermore, by simultaneously employing three ultra-high specific gravity, small-diameter tungsten balancers in a "triple center of gravity shifting" system, it achieves overwhelming long castability, overturning the common sense of slim minnows. The X-80 MAGNUM is the ultimate item for reliably catching giant seabass over 80cm.

Key Features

• Equipped with a newly shaped lip that balances sharp action and toughness.
• While increasing the body length to focus on monster seabass, it inherits the original action of the X-80.
• Tungsten Triple Weight Oscillation System: This system converts inertia into propulsion, providing extraordinary ultra-long-distance flight performance to the shiner body, which experiences more air resistance compared to slim minnows. At the time of casting, the impact of specific gravity x inertia generated by the three ultra-high specific gravity, small-diameter tungsten balancers making point contact in series achieves overwhelming long castability. It delivers a realistic body that catches fish right in front of the target's nose.

Overview

The BIG GABOT is a scaled-up version of the Pony Gabot, born from strong requests from MOA pro staff. It retains the easy-to-action catamaran mouth, reminiscent of working a Pop-X, while upgrading each part.

Body Design

To achieve a more rearward center of gravity compared to the original Gabot, the skirt is positioned away from the body. A new hook groove is incorporated at the contact point between the body and the hook, preventing the hook position from shifting during action.

Internal Structure

The internal structure has also been revised to accommodate the larger size, with the addition of wire parts. This allows the hook to move more flexibly when fighting a hooked fish, reducing missed catches.

Performance

The increased overall weight allows for easy casting even with thicker PE lines. Furthermore, the larger body size amplifies the water displacement on mats, appealing even more to big bass. The BIG GABOT, with its enhanced presence compared to the original model, stimulates the fighting instincts of big bass.

Key Specifications
