Ben over at the Smallmouth Experience recently uploaded a video on Instagram showing off the action of the Megabass Okashira Screwhead. A jig head that features a asymmetrical prop that will add more flash and subtle vibration to just about any soft plastic bait you add to it, in Ben's case he was using a swimbait, 3.5” Keitech Easy Shiner. The screw head really brings the soft plastic bait to life, I mean anytime you can bring a lifelike action to an artificial lure is a huge plus because without a doubt it will attract more fish. I could see this jig head on walleye in the Detroit River?
What I don't quite understand is the way Megabass limited the colors on the Screw Head, all four colors seem to be the same whitish color. I really don't think bass can tell the difference just adding little bit of texture and shade to the jig head, they should of brought some brighter colors to the table to take on murky water conditions when smallmouth bass fishing becomes extra tough. For instance, right now out on Lake St. Clair, since we've been hit with high and super cold temperatures abnormally in spring, along snow, rain, and constant strong winds in April. The water has been kind of stained and turned up lately, making the smallmouth have lockjaw and a bit sluggish. Believe it or not, I had a better March than April with the Smallmouth, crazy or what? The point I'm getting at, I could see this screw head bring to life a soft plastic grub, craw, or even possibly a goby shaped soft plastic, something different ya know, thinking outside the box... But I think if they had some brighter colors, it might compliment some of the brighter color soft plastics and bring more attraction during the murky water conditions when smallmouth bass fishing is tough.
I haven't used the Megabass Okashira Screw Head yet, but I expect it almost works like a spy bait, where it just works really good when you just keep it still on the bottom, letting slightest current and movement through the water makes bring to life the action of the propellers, creating a magical flash and vibration.
