Megabass at Charlie's Fishing: the Hazedong finesse softbait for perch and zander

Megabass was born in a garage in Japan in 1986, founded by lure designer Yuki Ito. His motto is "form follows emotion": every Megabass lure starts as a hand-carved Yuki Ito original and is finished with an eye for detail that made the brand famous among bass anglers all over the world. At Charlie's Fishing we stock the Megabass softbait that earns its place on our water: the Hazedong, a Japan Tour Edition finesse bait in three sizes for perch, zander and other predators that feed on small baitfish. Below you find which size to choose and how to rig it.

Megabass Hazedong: rolling and darting with the lightest touch

The Hazedong is a slim baitfish softbait with a secret scent formula and a soft, finely balanced body. It rolls and darts with minimal rod input, so small twitches, slow retrieves and gentle lifts are enough to make it look like an injured baitfish. That makes it a bait for pressured fish and clear water, when bigger, louder lures stop working. Fish it on a light jig head, a drop shot, a dart jig or weightless on a finesse hook, and work it slowly through the water column.

Which Hazedong size to choose

The Megabass Hazedong 3" (7.5 cm, 10 per pack) is the compact one for perch on small jig heads, drop shot and finesse rigs. Rig it on a Toppies Tungsten Dart Jig for a darting action, or on a BKK Predator WG #1 for drop shot. The Megabass Hazedong 4" (10 cm, 7 per pack) is the all-round size for perch and zander, weightless or on a light jig head. The Megabass Hazedong 5" (12.7 cm, 7 per pack) is the bigger profile for zander and big perch. For the 4" and 5" we use BKK Hyperlatch Round Jig Hooks in 2/0 and 3/0, or a BKK Predator WG 2/0 on a drop shot. More heads and hooks in Jigheads and Hooks and Rigs.

Which rig for which situation

• Pressured perch in clear water: Hazedong 3" on a drop shot or small jig head.
• Darting action for active perch: Hazedong 3" on a dart jig.
• Perch and zander in mid-water: Hazedong 4" weightless or on a light jig head, retrieved slowly.
• Zander and big perch on the bottom: Hazedong 5" on a round jig head. See Perch, Zander and Zander and Perch Softbaits.
