With a series of small, rapid twitches, the Type-X produces an acrobatic, wacky subsurface action that keeps the lure pinned in a small zone for extended periods, a precision spot-fishing approach that pulls fish from tight shade, undercut banks, and overhanging structure where a moving surface bait would pass through the strike window too quickly. Discontinued and now increasingly scarce, the Type-X holds a specific and well-regarded position in the Megabass topwater lineage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis 2004-dated example is presented in its original Japan-domestic cylindrical packaging - the premium presentation format used for the Type-X during this era - complete with original paper insert, in exceptional condition. The Bell Frog colourway renders a deep black body with fine gold-bronze glitter flake, vivid red-orange eye with detailed iris. A Japan-domestic discontinued frog pattern distinct from the later production frog variants, and one of the more visually striking colours in the Type-X range.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Megabass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48002970517641,"sku":"WG-MEGA-TYPX-116","price":129.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1038\/4009\/files\/Gem-457.jpg?v=1787372335","url":"https:\/\/wildersfishing.com.au\/products\/megabass-type-x-2004-bell-frog","provider":"Wilder's Fishing \u0026 Supply Co.
