ABOUT US:
=========
The birth of Megabass in the U.S. is the stuff of legend, involving a cross-country trek in the early 90’s, in which the Megabass designer/CEO Yuki Ito challenged pro staff of local stores and area pros to one-on-one fishing duels. The rules were simple: if Yuki Ito won, the store had to buy his lures; if the U.S. angler won, then Yuki had to buy local tackle from the store. This “put your money where your mouth is” approach, combined with the quality and flat out fish-catching ability that was evident in Yuki’s handcrafted Megabass equipment, succeeded in convincing stores to take on this premium imported tackle.
Today Megabass still embodies that daring spirit. Each product is a painstaking marriage of handmade form and technological innovation. Megabass strives to capture the same care, quality, and attention to detail embodied by the handmade tradition. In a modern age dominated by CAD and mass production, every Megabass lure is based on a hand-carved Yuki Ito original. Each stage of the development process is closely monitored with exacting quality controls to ensure that the mechanical process of production does not whitewash the integrity of the original. - Sport
Throwing the freestyle this weekend. This is helpful!

Great Vid. The nail weight trick is clutch.
Gonna have to get me some of these! I have the Trokar bladed and non-bladed hooks that I want to try now! Would love to get a new PB this year. Already broke my PB twice this year so a third time would be GREAT!!!
Instablaster...
WE WANT AN 8 INCH FREESTYLE!!
I rigged this with a 6/0 owner beast hook... and using the screw lock dead center on the nose, it just completely blows it out. you can see the coils busting out the side of the nose. it sucks. but I feel like a smaller hook would be pointless.
Get you some medium CPS springs from Owner.
I put it on a 8/0 beast hook for the added weight and I know it will totally blowout. Once it does tho I cut off the used plastic and put in on a jig head. I agree with the other commenter, medium size cps springs may be beneficial
Anyone know the specific rod he has ? A link for it ? I can’t find it
