Description

The Megabass Karashi is destin to become the lure of 2025. This thing just catches fish even pressured fish. Although you can walk the dog on the surface if you start your retrieve quick enough it is actually intended to be a subsurface walk the dog type of lure. I have 2 sizes available, small which is 2 1/2" and large which is 3 1/8". Everywhere I look the Megabass Karashi is sold out and I expect the alternatives to go just as quickly. NOTE: Each bait is hand painted in the order they are received. I make every effort to ship the baits within 3 days of receiving the order, however during the busy season it can take up to 5 to 8 business days to ship the baits. In most cases they do ship within 3 days, I never want to make anyone wait but I do to maintain quality so it can take time sometimes.

Field Notes

Designed as a subsurface walk-the-dog bait, it works best with a quick, steady retrieve and rod twitches to keep it darting side to side just under the surface. It can also be waked on top if retrieved fast enough, making it useful when bass are feeding shallow or keying on pressured baitfish.

Pros

  • Subsurface walk-the-dog action can trigger pressured fish
  • Can also be worked on the surface with a fast retrieve
  • Available in two compact sizes for finesse presentations

Cons

  • Hand-painted alternatives may vary slightly in finish
  • Small profile may be harder to cast in wind
