Megastrike's FAT BASS DIT Swim Bait-First Picture

[Bobby Uhrig]

Here is a pic of the first Megastrike Fat Shad (THE Fat Bass Dit) It is only 4 inches long but replicates the most popular bait fish size. I wanted it to displace a lot of water so I made the body fat. Unlike streamline swimbaits , it has a fatter body section and a big thumper tail. It has a very unique body roll. I will have videos of it soon -attached to a 1/4 and 3/8 Pro Model Shak-E2 Head. It is designed to be slow rolled on the surface and crawled along the bottom. The other day I was flipping it into mats of grass when I could find a hole and gottum.Double click on the image to enlarge. Almost has a goby type profile http://lineart.redshad.com/MegaStrike/

[Steven Ladner]

HMMM maybe i named it wrong-looks like a seal

[BASSclary]

Paddle-tail seal, next best thing since Senkos and sliced bread.

[Blue Streak]

That is a unique looking bait. Is it a heavy bait? I am wondering about the rate of fall. Paddle Tail Seal would have been a great name.

Looking forward to throwing this guy in front of some

Tennessee River smallies!

On a 1/4 oz or 3/8 oz pro Model Shak-E2 Its a killer

[Blue Streak]

How much does it weigh?

[Bobby Uhrig]

Hell I dont know-

[bweave09]

Hell I dont know-

hahahaha ;D

[Blue Streak]

Hell I dont know-

OK so let me rephrase my question. Is it a buoyant bait that will stay near the surface when fished slowly with out a weight? Or is it a bait that will sink like a rock?

[Bobby Uhrig]

Weight is .42OZ A touch over 12 grams-Screw the metric system. Has a real nice sink rate-Its pretty heavy for its size. Ya dont want to much salt or it dosent swim right.It needs that bit of buoyancy.

[Blue Streak]

Thanks it sounds heavy enough to cast easily without added weight but light enough to stay near the surface at a slow retrieve. Hopefully it will sink slow enough so it does not drop out of the strike zone when you kill it. Good luck with it.

[Bobby Uhrig]

If you are using it weightless-use a wide gap hook so it acts like a keel. That way it dosent roll

[Blue Streak]

Probably a heavy super line hook?

[Bobby Uhrig]

That will work but I dont think it needs to be that big-

[TourPT]

Bobby, you owe me a keyboard. I just spit up my coffee after reading your hell I don't know reply. LOL

Looks like some good swimbaits. Can't wait to give them a try.

[Bobby Uhrig]

LOL I owe myself a few keyboards from reading all this bass porn.. You guys kill me- Ive got to get these videos done to show you guys what this looks like in the water with the Pro model shak-e -seriously it is very unique.I think this would be a killer technique for the guys fishing the Great Lakes for deep smallies

[roadwarrior]

How 'bout Tennessee brown fish?

I think they are going to like them, too!
