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\u003eThe LCF (Lime Back Chart - Berry Frog) colourway is a Japan-domestic designation confirmed directly from the original 2005 packaging. A clear-based body with a lime-green dorsal and chartreuse base finish imitating the translucent, spotted colouration of a berry or tree frog (アマガエル - Ama-gaeru), Japan's small, brilliantly coloured arboreal frog species whose translucent lime-green skin with dark dorsal barring is rendered here with remarkable accuracy. At the time of production, Megabass's existing frog colours, Tonosama Frog, Bell Frog, and CMF (Cracked Mat Frog), were all natural, opaque finishes that did not allow light to penetrate. The LCF broke from that approach entirely, using a clear body base to allow light transmission through the lure body in the manner of the actual berry frog's semi-translucent skin - a colour philosophy that combined visual appeal with genuine biological realism in a way no previous Megabass frog colour had achieved.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Megabass","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48002977464457,"sku":"WG-MEGA-TYPX-117","price":124.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0718\/1038\/4009\/files\/Gem-463.jpg?v=1787372304","url":"https:\/\/wildersfishing.com.au\/products\/megabass-type-x-2005-lcf-lime-back-chart-berry-frog","provider":"Wilder's Fishing \u0026 Supply Co.
