Megabass is one of the most recognizable names in Japanese bass fishing. Founded by designer Yuki Ito, the company built its reputation on hard baits with elaborate internal weight-transfer systems, sculpted bodies, and detailed finishes — often sold at a premium to mass-market lures.
Several Megabass designs, most notably the Vision 110 jerkbait, crossed over from the Japanese market to become staples on US tournament circuits.

GIANT DOG-X
ジャイアントドッグX
A legendary Japanese topwater walking bait from Megabass. The GIANT DOG-X uses a laterally moving tungsten balancer to produce sharp turns and a distinctive roll-walking action that flashes the lure's side profile to bass below.
KARASHI
カラシ
A 59 mm slow-sinking finesse hard bait from Megabass designed for two distinctly Japanese presentations: subtle I-shaped retrieves and sharp subsurface dog-walking. KARASHI targets wary bass with a compact profile, minimal vibration, and sudden escape action.
KARASHI 80
カラシ80
An 80 mm slow-sinking lipless jerkbait from Megabass designed for rhythmic subsurface dog-walking and long side-to-side darts. KARASHI 80 targets bass that hesitate to break the surface, using sharp escape movements just below the waterline to trigger reaction strikes.
POPX
POPX（ポップX）
A legendary Japanese topwater popper introduced by Megabass in 1996. The POPX combines popping, long-distance spitting, and a distinctive rolling dog-walk through its patented water-duct and side-stepping balancer systems.
Vision 110
ヴィジョン ワンテン
The Japanese suspending jerkbait that became a US tournament standard — a 110 mm, ~14 g bait with a hard, darting action driven by a moving weight system.
X-80 TRICK DARTER
X-80 TRICK DARTER
A compact 80.5 mm suspending jerkbait from Megabass built around a deep-bodied shiner profile. The X-80 TRICK DARTER combines aggressive irregular darting, strong flashing and a rolling retrieve action in a baitfish-sized package designed around Japan's match-the-bait approach.
iPX-16
iPX-16
A deep-diving crankbait created by Megabass through the combined input of Bassmaster Elite Series pro Brandon Palaniuk and lure designer Yuki Ito. The iPX-16 reaches a main range of 16 feet and combines an innovative forward-moving weight system with an aggressive high-pitch action and strong bottom-contact performance.
