Legacy & Popularity
Originating in the early 2000s on classics like the original DEEP-X and LIVE-X, GP Stain Reaction combines a translucent Guanium Phantom (GP) base with a white pearl back and fluorescent orange belly accents. Designed specifically to trigger reaction strikes in stained or murky water, it delivers high contrast without spooking wary fish.
It pairs seamlessly with fast-moving crankbaits and jerkbaits—most notably the VISION ONETEN, where it became a proven staple for power-searching broad American waters—and directly inspired spin-off colors like Matte Stain Shad.
