Megabass Anthrax SP-C SH Champagne – Floating Wakebait with Roller Jiro Balancer

The Megabass Anthrax SP-C SH Champagne is a floating wakebait designed for versatile action across surface and just-below-surface ranges. Built around a Roller Jiro Balancer System (PAT.P), its internal balance shifts a ball weight to produce a distinctive high-clicking sound that anglers report as a cue to draw attention. When retrieved slowly, the lure delivers a tight rolling motion on the surface, aided by abdomen fins that subtly split the water into a triangular wave. This subtle disturbance helps keep the lure visible and intriguing in calm or choppy conditions.

As speed increases, Anthrax shifts to a subsurface shad profile, tracking about 3.9 to 7.9 inches (10–20 cm) below the waterline with a natural swagger that mimics a fleeing baitfish. The slap from the jerk action generates surface splashes and bubbles, adding audible and visual cues that can help fish locate the bait even when visibility is limited. In stop-and-go pulls, the lure can rise slightly and then dive again, suggesting an erratic, panicked bait that some predators instinctively target.

Key benefits and characteristics

Practical tips

In shallow, near-shore or around cover, start with a slow, steady retrieve to coax a surface strike. If bites stall, gradually pick up speed to explore a deeper, side-to-side shad action. For a more aggressive presentation, add slight pauses and re-engage with a quick jerk to trigger a rise-and-dive motion.

Color and finish like Champagne can aid visibility in various light conditions, while the fin structure in the abdomen helps direct water flow for a distinct wake. With its 0–0.2 m depth range, it suits early morning and late afternoon sessions where fish feed actively near the surface.
