The Megabass X-80 MAGNUM is an expanded, high-impact evolution of the legendary "Hachimaru" (X-80) profile, engineered specifically to dominate saltwater minnow games.
 
Co-developed by Yuki Ito and renowned seabass angler Masanori Muraoka, this 115mm heavyweight minnow scales up the iconic shiner form to deliver unmatched castability, aggressive rolling action, and game-changing hydro-wave displacement.
 
Triple-Tungsten Moving Balancer System
To pierce through harsh coastal crosswinds and achieve long-distance casting from breakwaters, shores, and boats, the X-80 MAGNUM utilizes an advanced internal weight transfer system.
 
Powered by three small-diameter, ultra-high specific gravity tungsten balancers, the lure locks its center of gravity rearward during the cast to hit long distances, then instantly shifts forward upon water entry to drive immediate swimming action.
 
Shiner Form & High-Pitch Wave Displacement
Abandoning the slender profile of traditional 100mm+ saltwater minnows, the X-80 MAGNUM retains the distinct humpback "shiner" geometry that made the original X-80 an international benchmark. This tall body profile generates intense visual flash and heavy hydrodynamic displacement on a straight retrieve, triggering aggressive reaction strikes from cruising sea bass, blue runners, and pelagic predators.
 
Erratic Darting & Surface-to-Mid Depth Range
Designed to work the crucial upper-water column down to 1.5 meters, the X-80 MAGNUM responds instantaneously to technical rod work. With sharp twitches or jerks, it breaks into wide, erratic side-to-side darts that replicate a panicked baitfish fleeing for its life, while maintaining high-speed tracking stability without blowing out.
