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.
