Megabass Anthrax SP-C GG Deadley Black Shad – Floating Wakebait with Multi-Action Roll

Overview

The Megabass Anthrax SP-C GG Deadley Black Shad is a floating wakebait engineered around the Roller Jiro Balancer System (PAT.P). A ball-weight shifts along a shaft balancer to generate a distinctive, rhythmic click, helping the lure stand out in a crowded strike zone.

At slow retrieves, this lure delivers a pronounced surface roll and a triangular wave created by the abdomen fins. The effect is a subtle but noticeable disturbance that can attract nearby fish without dominating the line. When the retrieve speeds up, the lure transitions to a subsurface swimmer, rolling and darting roughly 3.9–7.9 inches (10–20 cm) below the water. A quick jerk or slap generates splashes and bubbles on the surface, increasing visibility in varied light conditions. A Stop & Go cadence imitates a rising bait and can add a level of unpredictability that some fish respond to during a long day on the water.

Why anglers consider the Anthrax SP-C GG Deadley Black Shad

• Distinct audible cues from the Roller Jiro Balancer System help the lure communicate with fish during retrieves.
• Versatile multi-action design covers surface wake, mid-depth rolling, and subsurface swimming in one lure.
• Compact size (83 mm) and balanced weight (3/8 oz) offer precise casting and control.
• Fins and body geometry create noticeable water disturbance, aiding visibility and attraction in different water conditions.

How to use and optimize performance

• Surface action: employ a slow, steady retrieve to encourage a broad rolling wake and light bubble lines.
• Deeper action: increase speed to push the lure into the 10–20 cm depth range for a different swimming profile.
• Pause patterns: try Stop & Go to mimic a rising or panicked bait, which can prompt decisive strikes.
