Katsuage Out-Barb hooks are a Megabass original design, built specifically for the unique strikes so often elicited by jerkbaits. Manufactured to the highest standards, these sticky-sharp hooks are crafted for penetration and hold, and feature an out-barb design. This out-barb not only delivers an enviable hookup ratio, but allows for easy hook-extraction for fish hooked outside the mouth.
The world of treble hooks can be a confusing one, even to the experienced angler. Manufacturers offer a wide range of models, including round bends, EWG’s, heavy wire and light wire–not to mention different colors, point grinds and barb sizes. Jerkbaits–especially Megabass jerkbaits–require very specific hooks to maximize the performance of each lure. Katsuage hooks […]
Led by Yuki Ito, Megabass’s next-generation rod development team—Project “Zero”—set out to redefine expectations.

It was built for shallow water, and inside that zone it has no equal. Bassmaster pro Kenta Kimura has fished the MAGDRAFT on two continents, […]
Outside the Conversation The world’s major design awards were built around architecture, mobility, consumer electronics, and medical equipment. Fishing tackle was never part of that conversation. Rods were judged by anglers, in the field, on terms the design world had no reason to examine. That changed in 2022, when the DESTROYER and COOKAI series became […]

The Red Dot Design Award — administered by the Design Zentrum Nordrhein Westfalen in Germany […]
Replacing Urgency with Confidence In highly pressured fisheries, fish have become conditioned to speed. Fast-falling jig heads, aggressive retrieves, and predictable flash have become the norm. Often, that speed results in more follows and fewer commitments. For Arkansas guide and fly tier Daniel Roberts, the answer isn’t adding more action. It is removing it. By […]
