MEGABAIT CHARLIE

The MegaBait Charlie comes with a few design features that make this suspending swimbait quite unique. So unique that it has already won it's share of awards including the ICAST New Product Showcase Best of Category winner in 2002.

The head section of the Charlie is designed with a soft plastic shell over a hard hollow core, which holds a tungsten ball within the hollow sound chamber. It also contains a lip such as one you would find on a crankbait. The overall texture along with the two eyes are designed to make the front portion of the body mimic a live bait fish. The hollow core is also wrapped with a shiny holographic material for some additional flash. By using a soft plastic material for the tail it is possible to cut slits that create additional side to side tail action to entice strikes. Aside from these features the entire body profile is made as lifelike as possible with protruding fins and a textured surface.

When geared with the right tackle, casting the MegaBait Charlie comes easy. The GLoomis MUR844C-MB casting rod is great for casting the 6" size. When casting the two smaller ones it's better to use a lighter rod that will match the weight. The overall design of the Charlie is quite aerodynamic, and the lure flies well through the air. The addition of tungsten balls inside the hollow core assist you in casting further as they provide additional weight transferred in the direction of travel, and offer additional stability while in flight.

The soft plastic withstood the mouths of these game fish, but after weeks of testing they did cause some wear to the color coating, most noticeable on the rainbow trout pattern. The other patterns were not as affected because the colors are impregnated into the plastic during the molding process. Even though some coloration and glitter has flaked off, there didn't seem to be any decline in performance.
