Megabass Bait-X Concept

The original BAIT-X was the first plastic bait ever made by Megabass back in the 80's

I stumbled upon the Bait-X series (already released in 2005) some time ago, but unfortunately I didn’t got my hands on this simply astonishing lure so far (orders already placed).
After reading the TackleTour review once again, I thought it would be nice to start a series of lure features with this eye catching crankbait by Megabass (Hamamatsu, Japan).

Conclusion from the TackleTour review (2005-08-30):

Megabass continues to push the envelope with their new Bait-X Concept baits. Steep with tradition and filled with crazy features and even more insane action, we weren’t quite sure what to make of the lure half the time we were fishing it. Fortunately, once we got past the technology, the detailing, and cost of these lures and just fished them, we came to appreciate once again, the madness that is Megabass. Quality together with innovation define this company, and in redesigning one of their original offerings in the lure market, Megabass has created another winner. (source: www.tackletour.com)
