The Megabass GH70 Flatside Takumi Kawamasu is a trout-tuned jerkbait designed to provoke aggressive strikes with its flat-sided body and high-pitch rolling action. At 2-3/4″ and 1/6 oz, this suspending minnow excels in shallow rivers and streams, running 1–2 ft deep with powerful flash and darting movement. On a twitch-pause retrieve, it produces wide side-to-side darts that mimic panicked baitfish, while its suspending ability allows deadly dead-drift presentations in current. Carefully sculpted and finished, the GH70 Flatside is an essential tool for trout, smallmouth bass, and other predator fish in moving water.
