About this piece
The IXI SHAD TYPE-R is Megabass’s secret weapon for shallow water, designed to hold the 1m range with high-pitch stability. Its distinctive high-pitch screw roll action provides sharp retrieve resistance and an unmistakable wobbling flash, while the slow-floating design allows a nose-down posture for precise bottom contact. In clear, expansive flats like Lake Kasumigaura, this lure’s rapid blinking and aggressive deflection draw strikes from pressured fish.
