Megabass Griffon SR-X Shallow Crankbait

A precision shallow crankbait built to trigger aggressive reaction strikes from Australian bass, bream and estuary predators.

The Megabass Griffon SR-X is a compact, high-impact shallow crankbait designed for anglers who demand performance when fishing tight structure and pressured water. Engineered by Yuki Ito, this lure blends refined Japanese design with proven fish-catching action, making it a standout choice for both freshwater and saltwater applications.

Perfect for creeks, rivers, estuaries and shallow flats, the Griffon SR-X excels around snags, rock walls, pontoons and weed edges where fish feed opportunistically. Its wide-bodied profile and advanced hydrodynamic shaping create a powerful swimming action that remains stable at varying retrieve speeds, allowing anglers to work it confidently through complex structure.

What truly sets the Griffon SR-X apart is its signature “pinball action.” When the lure contacts cover or bottom, it deflects sharply and instantly recovers, producing a sudden change in direction that provokes reaction bites from otherwise hesitant fish. This makes it especially effective for targeting monster bream, aggressive bass, yellowbelly and ambush-feeding flathead.

Finished with Megabass’ Super Diamond Coating and hand-painted cosmetics, the Griffon SR-X delivers both durability and ultra-realistic appeal. Whether you’re slow-rolling along a bank or cranking tight to cover, this lure is built to help you fish with confidence and convert more strikes.
