Slap Hog

SLAPHOG is an extraordinary lure designed by Megabass for “reaction bite” fishing: it not only attracts predators from the bottom, but also triggers aggressive strikes during jig retrieval.

Born from the experience and passion of Kenta Kimura, a specialist on the U.S. B.A.S.S. Tour circuit, combined with the hydrodesign expertise of Yuki Ito, creator of the renowned Deep Cup Beaver — a lure responsible for countless legendary reaction-bite catches.

SLAPHOG was developed to generate violent, irresistible strikes, taking the concept of reaction bite to an entirely new level.

The techniques that best enhance its performance are the Free Rig, Texas Rig, and Jig Strolling — setups designed to maximize the lure’s attractive power, especially when it comes into contact with the bottom, structures, or submerged cover. In these situations, SLAPHOG releases natural movements, vibrations, and balance changes that stimulate the predatory instinct of even the most inactive fish.
