Description

The Deep-X 200T is the tungsten-upgraded evolution of Megabass's foundational deep crankbait - featuring a three-position Moving Balancer that shifts to the tail during casting for maximum distance, moves to the front upon hitting the water to dive at a steep angle, then settles to the mid position at depth to produce its signature tight wiggling, high-pitch rolling action that no conventional fat-bodied deep crankbait of the era could replicate. Compact and precisely profiled where most deep crankbaits were shapeless, the 200T presents a realistic baitfish silhouette at depth and responds equally to a steady crank, a stop-and-go retrieve over structure, or a jerkbait-style twitch-and-pause - a tactical versatility that made it one of the most consequential deep crankbaits produced in Japan.

The Fire Craw colourway is among the most technically executed crawfish imitations in the Megabass catalogue - a layered, textured finish capable of imitating crawfish at multiple life stages and in varying water conditions, rendered in the fiery red-orange colouration of a spring-phase crawfish emerging from its winter dormancy and entering its most aggressive and visible period. Elite professionals have showcased just how deadly Megabass crawfish finishes are across major tournament events, and Fire Craw on a deep crankbait platform is specifically designed to exploit the pre-spawn and spawn windows when bass lock onto crawfish as their primary bottom forage at depth.
