Megabass X-80 Trick Darter

Anglers who have experienced the effectiveness of the Vision 110 will be equally impressed with the X-80 Trick Darter. A long time favorite of many top U.S. bass fishing professionals, the Trick Darter truly comes alive in the water. The smaller, realistically profiled Trick Darter features the same legendary Multiway Moving Balancer System (Pat.) as the Vision 110, with the addition of a fixed balancer in front, allowing for easy casts and incredible action. The Trick Darter will dart erratically with short snaps of the rod tip, and will draw reaction strikes from the most timid fish in the lake. The Trick Darter is a particularly deadly lure for pre-spawn bass in clear water. Many times, especially after a cold front passes through, the Trick Darter will continue to produce great results when larger jerk baits aren’t getting the bites. The ideal conditions for fishing the Trick Darter are in water visibilities between 2 to 20ft., combined with water temps between 38 and 65 degrees. However, the Trick Darter will produce in any weather condition; anglers will find the Trick Darter will continue to draw strikes on slick, sunny days when other lures won't. The Trick Darter is best fished on Megabass Dragon Call line in tests from 6 to 10lb. The Trick Darter will dive from 7 ft. on 6lb. test, to 4 ft. on 10lb. test.

We recommend the following Megabass rods for fishing the X-80 Trick Darter: the F4-68XSRC, the F3-610DGS Aaron Martens Limited, or the F3-68X4.
