The Megabass SR-X Griffon represents the ultra-shallow expression of Yuki Ito’s original Griffon concept introduced in the late 1990s. Designed as a compact crankbait with outsized impact, the SR-X refines the signature “pinball” profile for maximum efficiency in the upper water column.
This third-generation evolution combines advanced hydrodynamics with a precisely re-tuned internal structure to deliver explosive reaction performance in shallow water scenarios.
The SR-X Griffon is engineered for controlled collision. Its rounded, compact body allows it to ricochet cleanly off rock, wood, and hard cover while maintaining immediate tracking recovery. The internal balance system stabilizes the lure instantly after impact, creating unpredictable directional changes that trigger instinctive strikes.
In shallow, high-pressure environments, this rapid recovery system becomes a decisive advantage.
Many shallow crankbaits lose stability after contact with structure. The SR-X Griffon is built to do the opposite. Its tight, aggressive rolling action combined with fast rebound characteristics keeps the lure in the strike zone longer and maximizes reaction-bite windows.
This makes it particularly effective during active feeding periods and in tournament conditions.
The Megabass SR-X Griffon proves that shallow water demands precision, not size. Built for fast deflection recovery and high-pressure situations, it delivers oversized performance in a compact ultra-shallow profile.
