If you're choosing Japanese bass lures, Megabass, JACKALL, and O.S.P are three brands you should definitely know. Although all three are Japanese makers, each has its own strengths, lure styles, and design philosophy. Using representative models, let's compare what kind of fishing each brand suits and how to choose between them.
Megabass｜VISION ONETEN
A jerkbait for anglers who love working a minnow
VISION ONETEN is a 110.5mm, 1/2oz slow-floating jerkbait. Its slim body uses a movable tungsten balancer to combine casting performance with responsive rod action. With jerks and twitches, it darts sharply from side to side, while a steady retrieve produces a tight rolling action. It's a great choice for anglers who enjoy actively working a lure to trigger bass.
JACKALL｜TN60 TRIGON Silent
A vibration lure for long casts and wide searches
TN60 TRIGON Silent is a 60mm, 18.2g sinking lure. Its Out Metal System places weight low on the outside of the body, helping improve casting distance, sinking speed, and stability along the bottom. It's especially useful when you want to reach distant spots from shore or efficiently search deeper water.
O.S.P｜BLITZ
A crankbait for working around cover
BLITZ is a 53mm, 9g high-floating shallow crankbait. It combines a fixed weight system, semi-flat body, and square-style lip. Its strong buoyancy and ability to deflect off obstacles make it ideal for covering shallow water while contacting cover or the bottom. It's a great option for anglers who like aggressive shallow cranking.
Which of the three brands should you choose?
Choose Megabass if you enjoy actively working minnows, JACKALL if you want casting distance and efficient coverage of wide or deep areas, and O.S.P if you like cranking through shallow water and around cover. All three brands offer many different lure types, but starting with these representative styles makes it easier to experience what makes each brand distinctive.
