Super User roadwarrior Posted May 21, 2009 Super User Posted May 21, 2009 JJ's Magic has been getting a lot of play here on the Forum, and I'm a fan, too! However, I am also a big fan of MegaStrike Fish Attractant, especially this year's new formula. Bobby says unlike other products that may hold a fish longer once it has committed to the bite, MegaStrike actually improves the bite count. Two examples are (1) short strikes and (2) final commitment. We have all experienced fish slapping a lure or striking hard, but missing. Perhaps a lure treated with MegaStrike encourages more bass to "try it again!" By "final commitment" I mean when everything involved in the presentation is just right, but the fish is still hesitant to attack, MegaStrike may be the final factor that triggers the strike. For those interested in something "other than garlic", this is your answer. I think MegaStrike smells like dead shad, but not overwhelming. Most importantly, MegaStrike is user friendly. This product has the consistancy of Vasoline when the weather is cool. It softens in warm weather, but is still very easy to use: no mess and no waste. I think this product is good for all soft plastics, and recommended for both soft and hard swimbaits. The lubricating aspect is another big plus. A single application is usually all you will need. So, pick up a tube and give it a try. I think you will be pleasantly surprised with the effectiveness of this product. Using MegaStrike just might put a few more bass in your boat. http://www.megastrike.com/ Good luck! 8-) Quote
Bass Tracker Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I like both products, and highly recomend them both! Quote
Siebert Outdoors Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 I've used the mega strike. I like it. No complaints here. Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 21, 2009 Super User Posted May 21, 2009 I recently got a tube of Yamamoto Megastrike form Dick's. Asked Bobby about it and he said this batch was made for over in Japan as it is more of a crawfish scent and they go ape for that over there. Anyway, gave it a try and it works as good or better than the original. Went back and got another 2 tubes. Check your local Dick's to see if they have the Yamamoto Megastrike. It's actually priced less. P.S JJ's stinks! ;D ;D Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 Just remember -when that Yamamoto product is gone -its gone- we sent skids upon skids to the Yamamoto Plant and it out of stock now Quote
BassResource.com Administrator Glenn Posted May 21, 2009 BassResource.com Administrator Posted May 21, 2009 What RW said! Seriously, we have a couple tubes on the boat and a few spares at home, because we never want to run out of it. Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 21, 2009 Super User Posted May 21, 2009 Thanks for the heads up Bobby! Will run to Dick's after work. What is the shelf life of Megastrike anyway? Quote
kms399 Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 awesome stuff and it lasts forever. i put it on just about every plastic i throw and I am still using the tube I bought 2 years ago. cheap at twice the price. (please dont get any ideas bobbie) Quote
Super User burleytog Posted May 21, 2009 Super User Posted May 21, 2009 Wow, thanks for the shameless product plug. :-X Quote
Muad Dib Posted May 21, 2009 Posted May 21, 2009 anywhere or way i get can the original forumal? i hate the smell of garlic. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 22, 2009 Author Super User Posted May 22, 2009 anywhere or way i get can the original forumal? i hate the smell of garlic. You are not paying attention... The new formula smells like dead shad, not garlic. 8-) Quote

I want to go back to Dick's and buy out the Yamamoto stuff but Bobby hasn't answered. Must be out fishing. Burley, I didn't kow you had stock in Megastrike. ;D ;D Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 22, 2009 Author Super User Posted May 22, 2009 Maybe Bobby will have the technical answer, but I'm thinking, indefinitely! Even though I use MegaStrike nearly every time I'm out, a tube seems to last forever. I have never noticed any changes in the mixture other than viscosity due to varying temperatures. 8-) Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 I've been using MegaStrike for 2 years now and use it all the time with plastic baits. Gives me the confidence edge! Haven't tried the "new" formula yet, but it looks like I'll be taking a trip to Dick's! Quote
Bobby Uhrig Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Like I tell everyone who we take fishing. "Watch And Learn" Take a plastic bait ,Jig or whatever you are using-bend the hook so you cant hook the fish-add some Magic Goo on there- fish with the bait til you feel the strike-let me know how long he swims with that bait in his mouth- It holds on so long that even the most novice of anglers can detect the strikes and set the hook. Its great for the kids to go fishing with. If they aren't catching-its a nightmare.There has been a few times that I can reel them in and flip them in the boat because they swallowed it. There is an outdoor writer named JT Bagwell that wrote about the same experience that happened to him while using it . He is on Yamamotos Pro Staff. As for shelf life-You can give it to your grandchildren's grandchildren. Quote
Eddie Munster Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 Thanks for the write up RW; heading to Dick's this afternoon to pick some up. Question about the new formula; will it say that on the tube/bottle? The Dick's near my house hasn't been the greatest at keeping old stuff off the shelves. Thanks. Quote

The Dick's near my house hasn't been the greatest at keeping old stuff off the shelves. Thanks. It comes in a clamshell pack so if it's not stapled shut, open one up and smell it. You'll live. It's not as bad as JJ's. Might have a slight garlic scent but should be more fishy. Don't forget about the Yamamoto stuff which should be right next to it. There could be a date code on the package or tube somewhere also. Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 As for shelf life-You can give it to your grandchildren's grandchildren. Thanks Bobby! Off to Dick's at lunch. Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 HMMM better rephrase that CWB Honestly I'm surprised you are the only one who caught that so far. Maybe you're just as bad as the rest of us... or worse! Quote
Super User SPEEDBEAD. Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 CWB, let me know how many tubes of that you get. Wouldnt mind trying one if you can part with it. Let me know Quote
Super User CWB Posted May 22, 2009 Super User Posted May 22, 2009 CWB, let me know how many tubes of that you get.Wouldnt mind trying one if you can part with it. Let me know They only had three left and I snapped 'em all up. How about a trade for that Mattlures Bluegill? P.M. me with your address and I might be persuaded to part with one. Quote
Pieman Posted May 22, 2009 Posted May 22, 2009 The only problem with megastrike is when the fish grabs it way before the hook...they don't let the bait go so I can hook em...seriously great product. Better when paired with some *** worms. Quote
Super User roadwarrior Posted May 26, 2009 Author Super User Posted May 26, 2009 CWB, let me know how many tubes of that you get.Wouldnt mind trying one if you can part with it. Let me know I think there was a tube in your gift bag. I'll send you another with the bluegill. I'll try to get them out tomorrow. 8-) Quote
