About this piece
The Megabass Taco-Le 99 is a purpose-built octopus jig designed from the ground up to meet the demands of dedicated octopus anglers. Its hybrid design combines a buoyancy-tuned head and tail to keep hooks off the bottom during dragging, reducing snags, while a unique tail bumper mimics a retreating shrimp and prevents the sinker from wedging in rocks. The body features a flat top for mounting bait as a floating tenya rig and a lower skirt for natural water-flow action.
