Has anyone used Megabass Anthrax?

[H2O]

Anthrax
The ANTHRAX is probably the most unconventional looking bait to be added to the Megabass lineup. It swims, actually ‘rolls’, with its belly up and the large anal fin hits the water surface if exposed and ‘scrambles’ the water if submerged. Thanks to the newly developed ROLLER GYRO BALACER SYSTEM (PAT.P), there is enough torque for the fin to overpower the water resistance. The ANTHRAX is designed to create the boiling action of panicked baitfish with a twitch. And if retrieved with your rod tip up it will make unique water surface disturbance like the GRIFFON ZERO, and with the rod tip down it is a subsurface crank minnow. The ANTHRAX captures for the first time the action of the panicked bait, which creates those familiar boils on the water. 3/8 oz, 3.25" long. Anthrax 100
Unlike the original Anthrax, which is designed mainly for straight retrieve, Anthrax 100 is ‘action-packed’ version of the Anthrax series, thanks to the built-in Roller Gyro Balancer System (PAT.P). If you enjoy manipulating your bait by twitching, stop & go, ripping and so on, this bait will respond to your rod action by panicking with flashing or surface boiling or fast rising due to high buoyancy. And if you switch to slow retrieving with your rod standing position, Anthrax 100 will roll side to side, thus its Flap fin (PAT.P) will create unique wave pattern as if it has transformed into top-water swimming bait with high pitched clicking sounds produced by the Roller Gyro Balancer. If you enjoy playing a game with bass or any other fish eating game fish, this bait will provide you with a bunch of new tricks fish (and you) have never seen before. 4 1/8" long, 1/2 oz.

Any suggestion?

H20, thanks for the info. Do you know if there is any difference, other than size, between the "Anthrax" and "Anthrax 100"?

[Kickin Bass]

I'd love to try one.

I have, the bait swims and darts when jerked beautifully, haven´t caught anything on it yet, but let´s consider that:

a ) I only tested for a brief period of time to see how it moved,
b ) the conditions in which I tested the baits weren´t exactly the ones I would fish with it, the fish aren´t in the shallows yet.

its like 25 bucks, im buying one or two

[pig n jig]

It looks like a glorified Swimmin image lure. Marty, Tell them how well the Swimmin Image works ?

[crankybait]

at an airport, your going thru the terminal. youve got your tacklebox with you, and the lure on top is ths one. the security guard doesnt fish, so he askes, whats this? you reply "my anthrax"... ohh thatd suck
