Small Profile. Massive Presence.
 
The Megabass X-80 TRICK DARTER was developed around the classic Japanese “match the bait” philosophy, faithfully reproducing the compact baitfish profiles found in Japanese waters.
 
At just 80.5 mm, its unusually tall body creates a larger visual presence while retaining a compact overall profile. Its unique shiner-style body, positioned between a minnow and a shad, generates an aggressive combination of flash, wobble, and irregular darting action.
 
Flash. Dart. Wobble.
Inside the X-80 is Megabass' specialized weight system: a fixed low center of gravity at the front combined with a multi-purpose weight transfer system at the rear. This gives the lure exceptional stability while producing a wide, unpredictable darting action.
 
On a straight retrieve, the X-80 generates a dynamic rolling action while following a natural meandering trajectory. Even without advanced jerkbait techniques, a simple stop-and-go retrieve instantly produces a flashing, fluttering wobble.
