A downsized version of the storied Japanese crankbait, the SR-X GRIFFON BAIT FINESSE exhibits super high-pitch action and pinball deflections to dominate rocky structure and challenging bite situations in the shallows. With a round lip and sculpted hydrodynamic form, GRIFFON’s deflection recovery is nearly instantaneous, eliminating the sluggish startup period that can dissuade potential bites. Exhibiting an elusive combination of stability, deflection dynamism and high-pitch wobble, the GRIFFON BAIT FINESSE tracks true in challenging current situations to deliver tough bites when it matters most.
Rod:
We recommend the multi-piece travel rod, TRIZA F0-63XTZ AELLO, as the ideal Bait Finesse pairing for the GRIFFON. The AELLO’s packable approach to remote locales makes it a preferred hiking companion, while the smooth-bending traditional taper enables intuitive casts and precise control.
For a more traditional one-piece rod pairing with added backbone and reduced weight, we recommend the DESTROYER P5 F1-63X POPX STICK, which has a very moderate taper and slower action to allow it to bend deep for sweeping hooksets and keep targets pinned throughout the fight.
For a modern pistol-grip pairing, we recommend the GREAT HUNTING HUNTSMAN GHBF511-4L, which is perfect for quick draw roll-casts and close-quarters work. With a more supple tip than the POPX STICK, the HUNTSMAN is ideal for light-bite situations where extra give is needed to secure the bite.
Line:
We have found 4-6lb fluorocarbon to be optimal for most situations but suggest upsizing when fishing from shore or when experiencing line wear due to rocky situations. Please remember to check the first 3+ ft of your line frequently for damage, as light line tolerances are quite tight.
By late spring, as the final echoes of the spawn fade into the warmth of early summer, bass begin to look up. It’s topwater season—arguably the most electrifying window in bass fishing—and few presentations capture the aggression and opportunism of post-spawn bass like a walking bait skittering across the surface. Two elite contenders stand at […]
Among the wide variety of swimbaits and jigs available to bass anglers, the DARK SLEEPER has quietly established itself as one of the most effective and versatile options for targeting pressured fish on the bottom and mid depth areas. Its numerous weight and length options offer an ideal profile, fall rate and action for both […]
Many US manufacturers seem to ignore travel rods, or treat them as an afterthought, but Megabass has seemingly embraced the concept. Why is it important to the company to have multi-piece rods? While many U.S. manufacturers treat travel rods as an afterthought, Megabass has fully embraced them. Why? Because multi-piece rods represent freedom—freedom to explore, […]
