Megabass X-70 BFS Jerkbait

The X-70 is a high-performance juvenile minnow-style jerkbait engineered to dominate the shallow range with an irresistibly wide side-to-side darting action. Specifically tuned to suspend in the 1-2ft range, this lure is the ideal choice for river systems, flats, shallow docks, and skinny-water areas where traditional jerkbaits often struggle to perform without snagging.

Its unique flat-sided design is a core feature, enabling significant flash and consistent range-keeping, even when subjected to a hard-hitting jerkbait cadence. When used with a simple retrieve, the body shape elicits a flickering swimming action that convincingly mimics natural forage in its habitat. For more technical presentations, the suspending action of the X-70 can be harnessed for a dead-drift and twitch approach in moving current, perfectly imitating an injured baitfish.

Technical Specifications & Recommendations:

To maximize the performance of this lure, we recommend a braid to fluorocarbon leader setup. Because the leader line diameter directly impacts the lure's action—especially for baits where the angler must impart movement—selecting the right weight is critical. We have found 4-6lb leader material to be optimal for most situations to ensure the most realistic presentation and responsive darting action.

Whether you are targetting fish in shallow cover or working across expansive flats, the X-70 provides the precision and versatility required for elite-level angling.
