The Megabass IXI Shad Type 3 Crankbaits is a collaboration between Katsutaka Imae, the founder of Imakatsu, and Yuki Ito, the founder of Megabass. Megabass IXI Shad Type 3 are the next generation compact shad crankbait that reflects the combined expertise of Japan’s foremost lure designers and anglers. Incorporating the LBO Balancer System, the type-3 casts surprisingly well for its size, with an exceeding realistic, compact profile, and dazzlingly tight, hyper-pitch rolling action. The Type 3 elevates the performance of past shad-plug staples.

The Type 3 features the greatest depth ofthe series with its ability to trace a maximum depth of 9-10ft, but can also preform exceptionally well in the shallower 4-5ft range due to its deflection characteristics. The design minimizes snags in the shallows and perfects the aggressive deflection that triggers bites in and around pock and structure.
