Overview
Testing the boundaries of shad-style crankbaits, the Megabass Shading-X R 55 Crankbait is the smallest in the Shading-X lineup, a replica inspired by Megabass founder Yuki Ito’s original hand-carved model. Featuring a hydrodynamic, flat-bodied design that gets down fast and suspends, the Shading-X 55 generates a high-pitch wobble fueled by Megabass’s unique balancing system.
Inside, this patented Triangle Counter Balancing System features one fixed weight and two moving balancers, triangulating the lure’s center of gravity from cast to retrieve. The main spherical weight serves as a cast booster, increasing your casting range on spinning tackle and bait finesse setups alike. The upper balancer comes into effect on twitches, making the Shading-X R 55 shift dynamically along its lateral axis, adding an unpredictable deflection action to trigger reaction bites. Twitching the bait knocks the balancer into action, moving back and forth, creating a subtle sound and kickback action seen in the sudden movements of baitfish.
Perfect for finesse situations when fish are keyed-in on tight action, the thin, tapered body enables you to trigger bites with ultra-slow pulls or stop-and-go retrieves. Excel in the toughest conditions you’ll encounter on the water with the Megabass Shading-X R 55 Crankbait, engineered to pulsate its way to deceive finicky bass in high pressure situations.
