The aesthetic and collectible appeal of the GP Pro Green OB color is high, as it represents a sophisticated and slightly more subtle take on the popular shad patterns. The “GP” stands for Guaninum Phantom, indicating a holographic film beneath the paint that produces a unique, high-flash glow when light hits it, which is particularly appealing to collectors of Megabass’s most detailed finishes. The core of the lure is a translucent body with a green back, fading into the key feature – the “OB” (Orange Belly), which provides a high-contrast, bio-mimetic feeding trigger that is not present on the standard GP Pro Green. This combination of subtle natural flash and the aggressive orange patch elevates it beyond a basic colorway, ensuring it holds a special place for both its visual detail and its limited-run availability. It was most recently featured in a limited run exclusive to Scheels Outdoors – an American sporting goods retailer.
The GP Pro Green OB color shines in specific angling techniques and conditions, primarily acting as an exceptional imitation of baitfish with a green hue, such as threadfin shad. The vivid green back offers good visibility to the angler in stained or slightly off-color water, while the orange belly serves as an undeniable feeding cue, simulating an injured or vulnerable baitfish or a burst of color often associated with a crappie or perch. It performs best on a suspending jerkbait like the Vision 110 series, where the erratic flash from the “GP” finish combined with the orange underside provides a powerful one-two punch during a long pause, maximizing the lure’s ability to trigger strikes in a variety of water clarities, from moderately clear to a light stain.
