New Megabass S-Crank 2024
Jrob78 reply :
This bait looks awesome. It's got serious hunting action and will be released at the Classic.
TorqueConverter reply :
Neat. Dragging it along the bottom ruins the hunting action and it likes to ride on it's side so a lot of guys probably aren't going to like it. I'm guessing it's got a knocker/ballast weight mounted up high in the body that is producing the instability. Beats spending 20-30 dollars on Waddle Bats with their little blades.
HookdUP reply :
Wow extremely nice .. If they aren't too too much I'll try a few .. Right now my most expensive cranks are jdm bling 55
DirtyDeuceGoose reply :

$19.99 is what I saw too. I will definitely pick up a few of these.
Bluebasser86 reply :
Looks good to me, hope they hold up better than a 110.
Eccs reply :
Anybody pick some up?! If so have you fished them and whats the verdict?

I've got a few 110s and havent broken any yet.
Hi Salenity reply :
They claim the 2000-2005 110 are the most durable. I've got a couple dozen of them but the "good" colors are hard to find and expensive. I've seen Pro Blues go for $220.

100% of the Megabass 110s and the 1 110 magnum I owned broke for either no apparent reason, or from very minor contact with an object. I know they're a great bait and brand, but I can get myself to keep forking over $25+ for a bait that keeps falling apart on me. I'll just have to get by with the KO's and Luck E Strikes 
HookdUP reply :
Any news on what the depth will be on them?

They have 2 sizes the 1.2 and the 1.5.
The 1.2 runs 3-4' deep and the 1.5 runs 4-5' deep.
I have a MB Sexy Shad 1.2 and a Secret Gill 1.5 on order - can't wait to try them out. Hope they hunt as good as the videos!
HookdUP reply :
Wow and at those weights of bait they should be able tobe thrown a mile .. Where do you all purchase

I think you misinterpreted. The 1.2 and 1.5 are related to their length, the 1.5 being 2.5 inches in length and the 1.2 being 2-1/3" in length. They are both 1/2 oz in weight. You can buy them at tackle warehouse but they are expensive at $20 a pop.

Be sure to post back with a little review!

$20 for a crankbait???? You gotta be KIDDING ME!!!! This trend where baits keep getting more and more expensive is just pricing real people out of the market to fish. Yeah, it looks nice; REAL nice but all this flashy marketing, videos and pro's "adding" their names to products which jacks the price up so they can get "their cut" is just stupid. But then, in my mind paying $20 for a single bait is just stupid too.
I think I'm just gonna quit bass fishing and go back to crickets and a bobber under a nice shade tree...

No one is forcing you to buy them

Get a grip dude. It's just like anything else. You can buy the most expensive stuff on the market or not, it's totally up to you. There are plenty of great baits under $5 for people just like you, who don't want to spend a ton of money to enjoy fishing.

You don't have to buy it. Stay with cheaper lures.
It's like saying I'm going to buy a car. You don't have to buy a Porch, a Geo Metro will do. But some want that name and are welling to pay X% more for something that does that exact same thing.
Master Bait'r reply :
He has to be trolling.
There are plenty of great products at every price point. The average angler has never had more options and it is a fantastic time to be into fishing in any capacity.
$20 baits are nice but far from a necessity. Well except for me- I needed this S Crank. Got one in Kinkuro headed my way now. Haters gonna hate.
ib_of_the_damned reply :
I'll be buying a few, I havent seen a crank with that kind of action....
fishballer06 reply :
So I stopped by my local Field and Stream last night and wouldn't you know it, they had these in stock. So I bought one to try out. If it actually does what it's supposed to do, I'll be going back and buying a few more. At $20 a pop, its hard for me to buy multiple of something without ever fishing it.
JeziHogg reply :
I have no problem forking out $20+ for a lure, but when it comes to crankbaits I tend to go cheaper. I throw them in places most people wouldn't and they're definitely my number one lure when it comes to losing them.
Primus reply :
MikeA57 is probably going to hate me as I have 3 of them . He would really freak out if he saw some of my swimbaits

matuka reply :
I'm curious to see if a fish can delineate those individual minnows when it is wobbling all over the place.
MikeA57 reply :
No I'm not trolling.
No, no one is forcing me to buy them.
It's just that $20, (or $25, $30, or more) to pay for a lure just seems crazy to me. The fact that others buy them just encourages these manufacturers to continue this bad behavior. If you don't feed the bear he will move on down the road. (Or just eat you...)
I figured this was going to invite some remarks but that's OK. I guess it's just that I look at a $20 bill in my hand and figure that I've got better things I can do with it than lose it at the bottom of a lake.
Now, the rant is over...

One every now and then is all I do. Kind of like a way to brighten up my dad. Usually the paint jobs are the best, it has something other baits usually don't, and if it makes it to the wall of epic lures it's going to make that wall look awesome lol
ib_of_the_damned reply :
Just got mine in today! It looks impressive in person! Got the GP Sexy Shad 1.2 and it looks just like a shad.
To those that own one and fished them, do you add a split ring to it like other cranks or will it kill the hunting action?

I read a pro staffer on another forum say to add a split ring in warm water and leave it off in cold water. He said all S Cranks in the future will have split rings on them from the factory. Not sure why the first batch didn't.

How does the action differ with and without a split ring?

More action with the split ring. That's why he said not to use one in cold water, it would be less erratic.

Just hope I don't lose it my first time out with it this weekend...

Yep, I put split rings on mine too. I haven't had a chance to use them yet though.
fishballer06 reply :
Mine didn't come with a split ring and it doesn't have any of the "hunting action" at all. I highly recommend a split ring or a snap if you want to lure to do what it's supposed to do.
I guess Megabass couldn't afford to add a split ring for the $20 retail price....
Brian Brazier reply :
I just ordered some of the 1.5's and I will be adding some 1.2's, the 1.5 and 1.2 doesnt denote the size, but the depth in which they run. Most places have fixed the weight on these, the 1.2's actually weigh 3/8 oz, and the 1.5's are 1/2 oz. I bank fish allot and dont take many rods with me so I usually use a duo lock snap so I can change baits quicker, hopefull this will allow the hunting action, if not I will add a split ring. Hopefully the Black Back Chartreuse will be out in 1.5 soon, thats my favorite size and color for the lake I fish the most.

That color is available. That's the exact one that I've had for about a month now.
Brian Brazier reply :
I havent been able to find one, TW is either out or has not gotten them, as are all of my usual avenues. I saw you bought it at a Field and Stream store, I didnt know they had stores, I live in the Pacific North West, closest thing we have is a Dicks, and they dont carry Megabass lures.

You don't have to buy Megabass, there are plenty of other company's out there that have a cheaper line up of cranks, and some might say that these cheaper cranks are just as (if not more) affective.

Dicks owns Field and Stream stores. My town (Cranberry Twp, PA) is the home of the very first F&S store. They have since started expanding and I think they have about 10 stores now scattered throughout the country. I'm sure eventually, one will open up out your way. If you really want one, feel free to send me a PM and I will go to my local store and pick you up whatever you need and ship them to you.
cgolf reply :
Just watched the video, that thing swims similar to the scatter rap, without the goofy looking bill. Also a much heavier bait, interesting, may have to try one.
What was the first color they showed in the video?
Brian Brazier reply :
Thank You Fishballer06, I am looking forward to giving the Black Back Chartreuse a try.
Brian Brazier reply :
I know its not a big deal, but does anyone know what size and manufacturer split ring Megabass is now putting on the 1.5 S-Crank line tie?

I don't know what size they will use but I put size 3 ovals on mine, works great.
