The Megabass Lates is a tall, narrow profiled, high buoyancy, 16.8gram, 12cm, floating minnow fishing lure that is designed for sub-surface action.

The lure comes equipped with a wide but short bib, angled downwards at approximately 45 degrees, which will make the lure dive quickly to no more than 0.3m.

This design feature coupled with the Lates’ thin profile and fix weighted tungsten round bar located in its belly, ensures that the lure will roll on its horizontal axis from ear-to-ear with the slightest rod jerk, allowing for maximum flash to reflect off its flanks.

Where this lure comes into its element, is when it is being made to dive using a high gear reel.

With each rapid crank rotation, followed by a pause, then another rapid crank, the Lates will shoot straight down from the surface, rolling from side-to-side as its loses momentum, before repeating the same action at its dive depth, before making its ascend.

This dive-roll-pause-rise action has the killer effect of attracting the attention of the Lates’ intended prey, where a strike is more often than not, to occur as the lure gives ups its momentum to rise to the surface.

Secure hook ups are achieved with the Lates’ oversized treble hooks.
