Megabass Live-X Model 1

The LIVE-X Model 1 from Megabass is a revival of one of the brand’s original early-1990s injection-molded hard baits—now redesigned with modern engineering and next-generation performance upgrades.

This lure defies simple classification. It’s not strictly a shad, not purely a minnow, and far more dynamic than a traditional crankbait. Equipped with the advanced LBO II (PAT.) moving balancer system, it delivers high-frequency flashing and tight, lifelike action across the full retrieve range—from ultra-slow crawls to high-speed burns. The result is consistent, responsive action that triggers reaction strikes and converts neutral bass into aggressive feeders when conditions get tough.

Designed by Yuki Ito after extensive aerodynamic testing, the streamlined body increases casting distance by more than 30% in headwinds compared to similarly sized lures. The refined weight transfer system enhances stability and accuracy, allowing anglers to effectively cover more water with greater precision.

In shallow zones under 2 meters (approximately 6.5 feet), where standard diving crankbaits often struggle or snag, the LIVE-X excels. Its responsive swimming action and obstacle-deflecting design allow it to navigate cover efficiently while maintaining strike-inducing performance—making it an ideal choice for pressured fish and challenging shallow-water scenarios.

The LIVE-X Model 1 blends heritage design with cutting-edge hydrodynamics to deliver unmatched versatility, distance, and lifelike action.
