About this piece
The Megabass Great Hunting Butterfly GH52 is an ultra-heavy sinking minnow that defies conventional stream minnow standards. With its ultra-slim body and high-density construction, it packs 8.5g into a mere 52mm frame, enabling instant bottom contact even in fast currents. Designed by Ito, its hydrodynamically optimized shape produces intense flashing and a high-pitch rolling action that triggers aggressive strikes from wary native trout.
