The Megabass GH51 Humpback represents the most versatile size within the Great Hunting Humpback series. Designed to explore new streams where trout of all sizes roam, it combines fast-sinking performance, tail-weighted balance and precise depth control for demanding mountain rivers.
Despite its compact 51mm length, the GH51 features a taller-than-average body with aggressively flattened sides. On a steady retrieve it produces a high-speed rolling action that emits strong flash. When twitched or jerked, it creates sharp lateral strikes and visual flicker that trigger reaction bites from pressured trout.
The high-density construction and rear-weighted balance deliver smooth casting performance and quick depth access. After splashdown, the lure sinks rapidly into the strike zone and tracks true both with and against current. In fast streams and deeper pools, the GH51 excels by offering a high degree of range control and maintaining stability in complex flows.
If trout follow but refuse to strike, consider downsizing to the smaller GH46 model or increasing retrieve speed and twitch intensity. The GH51 sits at the centre of the range, offering a balance between subtle presentation and increased visual presence.
Bottom line: The GH51 Humpback is the most adaptable model in the Great Hunting series, delivering strong flash, rapid depth access and precise control in challenging stream conditions.
