Megabass Anthrax SP-C SH Lotus Wakebait | Surface to Subsurface Action

Megabass Anthrax SP-C SH Lotus: a versatile wakebait for year-round fishing

The Anthrax SP-C SH Lotus combines Megabass’s Roller Jiro Balancer System (PAT.P) with a ball-weight shift to deliver a distinctive high-click sound and a multi-action wakebait profile. This design is built to adapt to your pacing, offering a loud audible cue at slower retrieves and a smooth, rolling presence that can draw attention across water and light conditions.

At slower retrieves, you can expect a superior surface presentation, where fins along the abdomen subtly steer water flow to create a triangular wave that’s both visible and inviting. The result is a feed-forward action that can capture a predator’s curiosity while you focus on your rhythm and environment.

Surface to subsurface versatility

As you pick up speed, the lure shifts gear and becomes a subsurface shad-like swimmer. It can roll and swim roughly 3.9–7.9 inches (10–20 cm) below the surface, offering a different target for fish that follow from beneath. The ability to transition between surface wake and subsurface motion makes this lure suitable for varied water columns and fishing scenarios.

• Depth range: 0–0.2 m (floating）
• Length: 83 mm; Weight: 3/8 oz
• Hook: #6 x 2

The action is complemented by a surface slap when jerked, creating splashes and bubbles that help signal presence and attract attention. A Stop & Go cadence can mimic a rising bait after a dive, providing patterns that can align with fish feeding behavior without promising guaranteed results.

Real-life use cases and setup tips

This wakebait is designed for anglers who want a single lure to cover multiple layers of the water and multiple retrieval styles. The combination of audible cues, surface dynamics, and controlled subsurface movement helps you experiment with cadence in real-world conditions.

• Slow retrieve: emphasize rolling surface action and triangular wave to entice surface seekers
• Medium to fast retrieves: promote subsurface rolling and swimming depth for target fish beneath the surface
• Stop & Go: pause to simulate a reacting or rising bait after dive, testing predator patience and reaction

Key considerations for best results include water clarity, wind, and fish behavior. Use steady cues in calm water to highlight surface action, or mix in pauses and jerks when surface activity is limited. The 83 mm length and 3/8 oz weight provide a balanced profile for precise casting and controlled chatter at a variety of rod and reel setups. With its floating type and shallow depth, this lure is designed to bounce between surface and just beneath for flexible fishing in many environments.
