The Megabass MR-X Griffon represents the evolution of the original Griffon concept introduced by Yuki Ito in the late 1990s. Designed as a compact crankbait with outsized impact, the third-generation MR-X refines the legendary “pinball” deflection system with enhanced hydrodynamics and a re-tuned internal structure.
This is not just a small crankbait. It is a high-performance shallow diver built to trigger reaction bites in pressured waters.
The MR-X Griffon features an optimized body contour that channels water more efficiently, generating aggressive rolling and hunting movement. The redesigned internal structure improves stability and dramatically increases recovery speed after contact with cover.
When the lure collides with rock, wood or hard bottom, it instantly rebounds and returns to center, creating a sharp, unpredictable reaction trigger.
Predators often strike in the split second after a lure deflects. The MR-X Griffon is engineered to maximize this window. Its compact, rounded profile allows it to ricochet cleanly off structure while maintaining control and tracking stability.
The result is a larger-than-life reaction bite from perch, pike and bass, even in heavily fished environments.
The only thing that outperforms a Griffon is another Griffon. The MR-X Griffon delivers tournament-grade shallow cranking performance in a compact, highly reactive form.
