Bite-triggering switchback glide action!
The Megabass VATALION vibration / glidebait is tuned for all speeds, and is designed stop on a dime and slide out to the left or right when the retrieve is suddenly paused. With a slow retrieve, VATALION exhibits sharp, quick turns for pinpoint targeting of channels through grass beds, submerged weeds, and alongside structure. With fast retrieves, it tightens up and delivers a hard-hitting, high-pitch rolling action akin to the Vibration-X Ultra, luring bites from distance.
The Megabass VATALION is not meant to be worked with rod action—instead, it has proven incredibly effective as a stop & go bait, with retrieve speed adjusted to conditions. The irregular inertia-powered slides that occur the moment retrieval is stopped are the VATALION’s secret weapon, eliciting crushing bites.
There are times when bass key in on bluegill that throwing anything else feels like a waste of time. Post-spawn into summer is one of those stretches, especially when the sun gets high and bluegill slide shallow to feed around grass, bug hatches, and shade lines.

Phil Meyer Wins Big at Lake of the Ozarks with the Sleeper Craw Phil Meyer took home $100,000 at the 2025 Big Bass Bash on Missouri’s Lake of the Ozarks — and it almost didn’t happen. If not for a hunch about location and a last-minute tip to lean on the 3-inch SLEEPER CRAW, the […]
Answering Kimura’s Call After years of relying on the 6-inch Megabass MAGDRAFT—both the pre-rigged version and the FREESTYLE—for tournament success, legendary lure designer and Elite Series veteran Kenta Kimura pressed the Megabass design team for a downsized 5-inch model. He knew there were times when bass keyed in on smaller forage, and he wanted a […]
When you think of New York pro Alec Morrison—2025 Redcrest qualifier and Toyota Series champ at Sam Rayburn—power fishing might come to mind. But behind the big wins and bold casts lies a different kind of weapon: finesse. In particular, Morrison has become a quiet force in the realm of hover strolling, a subtle-yet-deadly technique […]
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 […]
