The Megabass IXI Shad Type 3 is a 2 1/4 inch, 1/4 ounce medium diving crankbait developed as part of a collaboration between Katsutaka Imae, the founder of IMAKATSU®, and Yuki Ito, the founder of Megabass®, the IXI Shad (pronounced “I by I”, for Ito x Imae). The IXI Shad Type 3 is a next-generation shad-style crankbait that reflects the combined expertise of two of Japan’s preeminent lure designers and anglers.

Incorporating the LBO II (Patent Pending) balancer system, the IXI Shad Type 3 casts surprisingly well for its size, overcoming one of the key complaints with the small shad-plug category. With an exceedingly realistic, compact profile, and enchantingly tight, hyper-pitch rolling action, the IXI Shad Type 3 elevates the performance of past shad-plug staples. The IXI Shad Type 3 features the greatest depth of the series with its ability to trace a maximum depth of 9 to 10 feet (3 meters), but it can also perform exceptionally well in the shallower 4 to 5 foot range due to its deflection characteristics. The design minimizes snags in the shallows and perfects the aggressive deflections that trigger bites in and around rocky structure and hard cover.

Instead of “sliding” deflections, which create dead spots in the retrieve, the IXI Shad Type 3 deflects-hard-but with a “falling forward” posture. The ability to deflect with athleticism and correct form ensures the lure doesn’t lose traction throughout the retrieve, maintaining its size-defying action and ensuring potential bites are not unnecessarily lost.

Available in over 10 highly-detailed colors.
