Megabass Respect 10
The GG Deadly Black Shad color is a highly regarded pattern in the Megabass line-up, particularly among professional anglers, characterized by its intense flash and dark, realistic profile. The name includes the Guanium Ghost (GG) finish, which uses guanine — a natural substance found in fish scales—to create a heavier, bold metallic sheen that provides a strong light-reflecting flash. This metallic flash is combined with a deep, dark color scheme, featuring a black back and sides, designed to closely mimic the appearance of a distressed or dying shad baitfish. The combination of a heavy metallic flash with a dark silhouette makes this color a highly effective and distinctive choice.
This dark, flashy pattern is often cited as a favorite for fishing on cloudy days or in water that is stained or off-color, where its solid body and bold flash make it easily visible to bass without being overly translucent. The heavier Guanium Ghost finish gives it a powerful reflection at any angle, which is key for drawing strikes in low-light conditions when a fish needs to locate the lure from a distance. The Deadly Black Shad color is commonly found on iconic lures like the Vision Oneten jerkbait, where its suspending nature, combined with the lure’s erratic darting action, creates a flashing, high-contrast target that is deadly for triggering reaction bites from neutral or negative bass, particularly during the colder months.
