Megabass Deep-X Series of Crankbaits ~ Deep-X 100, 200T, 300

Megabass Deep-X Series of Crankbaits ~ Deep-X 100, 200T, 300

Bassdozer says: "The Deep-X Series includes a compact 3/8 oz (100), mid-sized 1/2 oz (200T) and large 3/4 oz (300) model to cover a wide range of cranking situations. The three Deep-X models are all popular Megabass lures in the USA."

Megabass Moving Balancer System for the Deep-X Series and Bait-X

First, let us explain what kind of Megabass Moving Balancers are used for the Deep-X Series (and also Bait-X). There are several different Moving Balancers used in different Megabass baits, with each system designed to achieve a different purpose. In the case of the Deep-X Series (and Bait-X), there are three positions the balancer can move into:

  • First, when casting it moves to the tail position, achieving better castability.
  • Second, as soon as Deep-X hits the water, the balancer moves into the front position, ready to dive at a steep angle.
  • Third, upon reaching the optimum swimming depth, the balancer now moves to the mid position, ready to move sideways. And Deep-X will start to swim horizontally. If you are after suspending fish, twitch and pause might be effective now.
  • Finally, when Deep-X is ready to come to the surface at the end of the retrieve, the balancer moves back to the tail position, making it easier and faster to reel up.

Deep-X 100 ~ Medium Diving Crankbait

Length: 58 mm
Weight: 3/8 oz
Depth; 5 to 8 ft

When you are looking for a crank bait that will catch bass in the 5-8 ft. range under a wide set of scenarios, tie on the Megabass Deep-X 100.

One of the first Megabass crank baits to feature the now-famous Megabass Balancer System, the Deep-X 100 is one of the most versatile 5-8 ft. running crankbaits on the market today. With its fish-body design, and a profile to closely match fingerling prey, the Deep-X 100 will generate strikes from bass in even the most heavily fished public waters. MEGABASS Even though the Deep-X 100 has a smaller and more compact body, it has proven again and again that the Deep-X 100 can catch larger fish. Ever since its introduction Deep-X 100’s popularity is based on the fact that this compact bait is extremely good at catching trophy size bass. And with Megabass’ Moving Balancer System, you can be sure that your Deep-X will cast like a bullet, and dive like a submarine to its target depth to give you the most action in your target zone.

The Deep-X 100 is a great tool for cranking points, shallow ledges, and shorelines in general. With a wide range of realistic colors available, the Deep-X 100 can meet any water clarity situations. For best results, fish the Deep-X 100 in water visibilities of 2-6 feet, and it is at its best with a slow to medium, stop-and-go retrieve.

Equipped with Katsuage Treble Hooks. Megabass original Katsuage hooks have an out-barb, out-point and are wide gap with a 'near-center' seat for the hook to stay pinned.

Megabass Deep-X 100 ~ MSS


Deep-X 200T ~ Deep Diving Crankbait

Length: 72mm
Weight: 1/2 oz
Depth: Dives to 14 feet, depending on line diameter

A long-time favorite among Megabass fans, the Deep-X 200T was one of the first crankbaits in its depth category to feature a truly realistic bait-fish profile. While most of crankbaits are fat and shapeless, DEEP-X 200T is rather compact. streamlined and well-defined with a realistic baitfish profile from every viewing angle.

The Deep-X 200 is an incredibly versatile lure that can be fished in water depths of 5 to 14 feet. This makes it an excellent choice for fishing ledges, rocky or sandy banks, points, and over grass-beds. Megabass Pro Staffers have also reported great results with the Deep-X 200T while fishing through standing timber.

Sporting the famous Megabass Moving Balancer System, the Deep-X 200T casts like a bullet, and gets down to its maximum depth-range in a hurry. When the Deep-X 200T is out of its target range and on its way up, the balancers slide to the rear, allowing for a faster retrieve and quicker lure recovery time in order to cast once again.

The T in 200T means this is an improved version of the original Deep-X 200. Like 200, the 200T has a built-in Moving Balancer, which will move during casting, diving and retrieving to achieve the longest castability, steepest diving angle, and a tight wiggling action. The difference is 200T's balancer is no longer a lead-based alloy but made of tungsten composite material, which allows it to be smaller yet denser with a smoother surface and more perfect sherical shape. All these features of tungsten composite improve the operation, responsiveness and movement of the balancer, resulting in even better castability, diving depth (dives up to 15 feet) and swimming action.

Deep-X 300

Length 75mm
Weight 3/4oz
Depth: 15 to 17 ft depending on line diameter
Line: 12 to 20 lb test

The Megabass Deep-X 300 was created in response to angler demand for a lure that increased the range of the Deep-X Series, providing greater depth and attention to detail, such as the realistic flared gill flaps. With its greater diving depth and much larger body size (water displacement) than the 100 or 200T, the 300 is the ultimate deep-cranking lure. The Deep-X 300 is perfect for offshore ledge fishing, sloping points and deep grass beds, and is especially effective when fish move deep after post-spawn, or when water temps are over 70 degrees.

The Deep-X 300’s Multi-Way Balancer system gets you down to a target depth of 15 to 18 feet in a hurry, while the life-like attention to detail, unique profile and killer action draw strikes as you retrieve the Deep-X 300 through the target zone.

As with its other Deep-X brothers, the 300 is equipped with the Megabass original Multi-Way Balancer System. That means the 300 will dive almost vertically in order to maximize the effective cranking distance and also responds to every little twitch or jerk you would like to send to the bait. All of the Deep-X Series crankbaits will let you do the conventional bottom-digging method for creating those strike-inducing irregular darting actions. But what makes the Deep-X Series so unique is their mid-water twitch/jerk action, which appeals to suspending fish that are relating to the bottom or structure, but holding above it, suspended at mid-depths.

Equipped with Katsuage Treble Hooks. Megabass original Katsuage hooks have an out-barb, out-point and are wide gap with a 'near-center' seat for the hook to stay pinned.

Megabass Bait-X ~ Medium Diving, Bottom Tapping Crankbait

Megabass Bait-X ~ Medium Diving, Bottom Tapping Crankbait

Length: 66mm
Weight: 3/8oz

The original Bait-X was the first plastic bait ever made by Megabass back in the 1980s. The key concept behind the Bait-X was for it to be able to stick around on mid-depth structure, obstructions and rugged bottom as well by tapping (knocking, pecking) against them persistently, so as to imitate crawfish or baitfish that are trying to escape from predators by trying to hide in the structure or by hunkering down on the bottom.

The modern Bait-X is a new, revised model of Bait-X that has retained this original concept as its key, yet it has been completely updated with the Moving Balancer System of the Deep-X Series, along with a Water-Intake Lip and Hydro-Diffusing Body. Designed into each side of the lip, there are funnel-shaped water intake slots that channel water through small holes in the lip.

When you target fish that relate to structures such as riprap, laydowns and rock slides, ordinary crankbaits will move past the target zone too fast. The Bait-X is designed to linger in or on those kinds of structure and bottom, to keep tapping them with its lip, and to naturally appeal to the finicky bass that relate to these structures.

Equipped with Katsuage Treble Hooks. Megabass original Katsuage hooks have an out-barb, out-point and are wide gap with a 'near-center' seat for the hook to stay pinned.

Megabass Vision 95 ~ Shallow Diving Jerkbait

Megabass Vision 95 ~ Shallow Diving Jerkbait

Type: Floating, Shallow Diving Jerkbait
Length 95mm
Weight 3/8oz.

The Vision 95 is a little less than 4 inch long minnow for shallow water. But this is no ordinary minnow. Swimming action of this bait is controlled by a completely new balancer system called Shaft Balancer System. Instead of a moving, therefore necessarily round balancer, the one which is used inside the Vision 95’s body is shaped and fixed at the lowest point along the body. The result is an astounding new action. Since the shaft weight acts as a sort of a reverse pendulum, the whole body swings with the shaft as a fulcrum. When you jerk and then pause the bait, the Vision 95 will do a little action all by itself due to the built in Shaft Balancer. And unlike a moving balancer, the shaft balancer does not require guiding structures, so it frees up the space inside the bait. This allows the Vision 95 to have a very high buoyancy and very responsive action. That is why the Vision 95 swims great at any retrieve speed. Whether you rip it as fast as you can or retrieve it as slowly as possible, the Vision 95 will always present an attractive swimming action at any speed.

Equipped with Katsuage Treble Hooks. Megabass original Katsuage hooks have an out-barb, out-point and are wide gap with a 'near-center' seat for the hook to stay pinned. These trebles are specifically designed for jerkbait bites, which are often tricky hooksets.
