Megabass Griffon MR-X (BFS)

A downsized version of the storied Japanese crankbait, the MR-X Griffon Bait Finesse exhibits super high-pitch action and pinball deflections to dominate rocky structure and challenging bite situations in the 8ft range. With a round lip and sculpted hydrodynamic form, griffon’s deflection recovery is nearly instantaneous, eliminating the sluggish startup period that can dissuade potential bites. Exhibiting an elusive combination of stability, deflection dynamism and high-pitch wobble, the griffon bait finesse tracks true in challenging current situations to deliver tough bites when it matters most.

Rod Recommendations:

We recommend the multi-piece travel rod, , as the ideal bait finesse pairing for the MR-X Griffon. The Aello’s packable approach to remote locales makes it a preferred hiking companion, while the smooth-bending traditional taper enables intuitive casts and precise control.

For a more traditional one-piece offering with added backbone, we recommend the , which has a very moderate taper to impart the full range of the lure’s action potential. Further, the slower action allows Pop X stick to bend deep to keep targets pinned throughout the fight.
