Product Of The Week - Megabass Big-M

Send tremors through Murray Cod lurking in the shallows with the all-new Megabass Big-M Crankbaits. The bill’s unique scoop design wrangles the water to produce rolling action and intense flashing, sparking wild chases through open water and shallow cover alike. With a low center-of-gravity design, it harnesses max-rotation rolling action to throw intense flash farther and wider, giving enticing glimpses of its exquisite flat-sided form to predators in the deep.

Casts are powered by a triple balancer system, enabling long-distance ballistic approaches in weather conditions that would otherwise overpower conventional flat-sided offerings. Furthermore, due to careful hydrodynamic consideration, the Big-M exhibits surprisingly low pulling-resistance for its size, reducing the fatigue so often associated with larger lures. This allows anglers to comfortably deploy big bait techniques to target wider areas and new classes of fish with minimal effort. Take your cranking game to new heights with the Megabass Big-M.

As for the bait fishermen Saltwater Yabbies and live worms have been the go to.

Cressbrook

For the trolling anglers Stumpjumpers and TB55s have been popular.
