Megabass Ito Shiner Color Chart |
Megabass Color Code | Meaning | Description |
II | Version 2 | Secondary versions of previously existing Megabass colors. |
GG | Guanium Ghost Finish | Guanine is an actual substance in fish scales that gives them their natural flashy appearance. Combined with the finely etched scale lines molded into the plastic, it gives a convincing realistic baitfish flash to Megabass lures. |
GLX | Glitter Finish | Constructed with glitter during the building process for a unique flash pattern not replicated by the traditional Megabass GG or GP finishes. |
GLXS | Glitter Finish Sheen | Similar to GLX, but applied to more transparent baits to make them nice and bright/shiny when reflecting light. |
GP | Guanium Phantom Finish | The same guanine coating as GG, but meant for translucent baits without coloring the lure itself. Creates a realistic scale pattern, while still allowing light to pass through the lure. |
HT | Half Tone/Half Transparent | Baits that are constructed to be partly transparent with half or parts of the lure containing metal foil or opaque colors that do not allow light to transmit through the lure. One of the most popular all-around color codes from Megabass. |
IL | Illusion Finish | Clear holographic effect |
Ito | Ito Finish | Colors named after Megabass founder and lure designer, Yuki Ito. |
M | Metallic Finish | A metallic paint process to give maximum shine. The flashiest of the Megabass color code lineup. |
MB | Megabass Finish | A classic Megabass color code that often features the same guanine coating on a more transparent color. |
Mat | Matte Finish | A non-glossy coat that creates a subdued matte finish all the way around the bait. Mat codes will emit strong flashes of the painted-on matte colors with very minimal shine. |
MG | Metallic Ghost Finish | A metallic coating that still allows light to pass through the lure. Creates a unique two-in-one look underwater with the visuality of both a metallic and transparent finish. |
OB | Orange Belly | Lures with painted orange bellies. Also can be found as CB (Chartreuse Belly) and RB (Red Belly). |
React/Reaction | Reaction based colors designed by Megabass | A series of colors designed by Megabass for triggering lethargic bass into biting. |
