5 NEW COLOR COLLABORATIONS WITH MEGABASS!! KARASHI AND GIANT DOG X!

We're so excited to announce our new color collaborations with Megabass!! We were given the opportunity to influence colors on two of bass fishing's hottest baits, and you know we couldn't pass that up! We're thrilled to show you three new colors of KARASHI, and three new colors of GIANT DOG X that we had a hand in designing! Let's check them out!

The Megabass Karashi is one of, if not the fastest growing trend in bass fishing today. This small bait triggers a feed response in bass unlike any other lure we've found. When we were asked if there were any colors that should be added to the existing line up, we instantly knew what was needed. We're thrilled to introduce "See–Through Shad", "Glitz Shad", and "Juvy Gill". Each of these colors will shine in different conditions, and we can't wait to see the fish they produce for you!

The Megabass Giant Dog X was first introduced to the world in the late 1990's. It saw immediate fame, before slowly fading into the shadows, in favor of larger, louder offerings. Over the past few years, as fishing pressure has increased nationally, this bait has seen an incredible resurgence! Its subtle, natural presentation has recaptured national attention, and is consistently producing trophy fish catches around the country. We're thrilled to have a hand in the development of "Spotlight Shad", "Bone Python", and "Juvy Gill", as new additions to this already amazing line up!

Below you'll find links to all the baits, available now on Tackle Warehouse. We've also included related videos to teach you how to fish both baits effectively.
