Megabass Oneten R+3 Jerkbait

A deep-diving jerkbait built to trigger reaction bites from bass holding hard in deeper structure and pressure zones.

The Megabass Oneten R+3 is the deepest-running evolution of the legendary ONETEN jerkbait series, engineered for anglers who want true jerkbait performance in water previously dominated by deep crankbaits. Designed in Japan and refined through years of hydrodynamic research, the R+3 reaches depths of up to 4 metres while retaining the sharp, erratic darting action that has made the ONETEN platform world famous.

This lure is purpose-built for targeting Australian bass and other predatory species holding deep along submerged timber, rock bars, ledges and drop-offs. Its slow floating profile allows you to work the lure aggressively through the strike zone, then pause it precisely in front of fish that won’t commit to faster-moving presentations.

What truly sets the Oneten R+3 apart is its remarkably light pulling resistance. Even at depth, the lure can be snapped hard with crisp rod work, producing violent side-to-side darts and irregular flashes that provoke instinctive reaction strikes. This makes it an exceptional choice during tough bites, cold water periods or when fish are suspended deep and wary.

With Megabass’ refined internal weight integration and perfectly balanced body, the R+3 casts long and true, maintains excellent flight posture, and tracks cleanly at depth. Finished with premium hardware and triple #5 trebles, it delivers confidence-inspiring performance when the bite window is small and precision matters most.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep does the Megabass Oneten R+3 run?
The R+3 is designed to reach depths of up to 4.0 metres, making it one of the deepest-running jerkbaits available.

Is the Oneten R+3 hard to work at depth?
No. Despite its depth capability, the lure has very light pulling resistance, allowing sharp, controlled jerks even deep.

When should I use the R+3 instead of a standard jerkbait?
Use the R+3 when fish are holding deeper than 2–3 metres, especially along ledges, deep timber or steep banks.

Does the slow floating action help in tough conditions?
Yes. The slow float allows the lure to hang in the strike zone longer, often triggering bites from reluctant fish.
