Megabass Respect 57
The PM Midnight Bone color is a highly collectible and visually distinctive pattern, released as a special edition in the Megabass Respect Series. Its striking aesthetic is defined by a black base with a translucent quality, made possible by the PM (Pearl Mica) finish and “bone” pattern, which gives the lure a pale, deep glow and a subtle pearlescent shimmer rather than an aggressive flash. The most eye-catching element is the belly, lip and head area, which are typically accented with a dark tone of clear red paint, contrasting dramatically with the dark body and the faint silver bone pattern. This rare combination, which originated on the Griffon Zero lure in 2003, is highly valued by collectors for its history and its unusual color scheme where the lip itself is painted.
In terms of application and fishing techniques, the PM Midnight Bone excels in conditions where a pronounced silhouette and dark profile are necessary to draw strikes, making it a standout choice for low-light situations like early morning, evening, and night fishing, as its namesake suggests. Its dark coloring and pale pearl shine create an appealing profile that contrasts well against the water surface or bottom, and it is also noted to be exceptionally effective in very muddy or stained water where its overwhelming presence can outperform even flashy chartreuse colors. This high-appeal, high-visibility black color is a versatile option for predatory fish, and its unique visual properties are maximized when fished with a stop-and-go cadence that allows the bone pattern and dark red accents to catch the subtle light.
