Megabass IxI Shad TX

The Megabass IxI Shad TX is the deepest‑diving model in the IxI Shad series, engineered by Katsutaka Imae and Yuki Ito to reach 4m+ (13 ft) depths with a compact 57mm micro‑shad body. Designed to overturn the limitations of small shad plugs, the TX uses the revolutionary Micro LBO balancer system, mounted in an extreme forward‑leaning position that creates unmatched diving power, responsiveness, and casting distance.

Its aggressive big‑lip design cuts through air resistance and water drag, allowing the lure to achieve astonishing long‑distance flight even with light fluorocarbon lines. Once in the water, the TX delivers tight hyper‑pitch rolling action, ultra‑precise depth control, and a forward‑falling deflection posture that keeps the lure engaged after contacting rock or structure — eliminating dead spots and triggering reaction bites.

The IxI Shad TX is built for anglers targeting deep fish with a compact, realistic profile that still delivers aggressive action, long casts, and elite deflection performance. Whether you’re probing deep rock, offshore humps, or mid‑range transitions, the TX is a deadly precision tool.

The IxI Shad TX is a deep‑range micro‑shad powerhouse — compact, hyper‑responsive, and engineered to reach depths most small crankbaits can’t touch. Its Micro LBO system delivers long casts, instant action, and elite deflection performance, making it one of the most advanced deep‑diving shad plugs ever created. For offshore structure, deep rock, and pressured fish, the TX is a must‑have.
