Megabait LA Slider wins Best of Show at Icast 2004
MegaBait LA Slider wins Best of Show
Brian Hawkins, designer of the MegaBait LA Slider swimbait was winner of Best of Show in the soft lure category. Brian named the swimbait in memory of his nephew Little Anthony (LA). It's patented due to its innovative flexible cavity that fits around any of four jig heads - 1/2, 3/4, 1, 1-1/2 oz, each with a 6/0 hook. So the weights are interchangeable and you can battle a large bass without doing major damage to the plastic body since the hook is not directly related nor pre-molded into the body. Brian's second breakthrough feature is a "loose tail" design enabling the tail to swim even with the 1/2 oz insert on a slow retrieve. This is something thicker-tailed swimbaits don't do well. Perfected so as not to roll over on its side, even at high speed. Instead it exhibits a seeking side-to-side action when used fast, yet still swims seductively as slow as you can turn the handle.
