The GG Hasu Red Eye color is one of Megabass’s acclaimed, SP-C collectible finishes, falling under the GG (Guanium Ghost) designation, which utilizes guanine—a crystalline substance derived from natural fish scales—to achieve an incredibly realistic, internal shimmer and reflective quality. This pattern is a lifelike imitation of the Hasu, a type of small, silvery minnow native to Japan, and is characterized by a slightly translucent back with greenish-blue hues, blending into brilliant, almost mirrored silver sides. The “Red Eye” accent, with a vivid red outer iris, provides a distinct target point that is crucial for a predator to focus on, and its overall aesthetic is revered by collectors for its depth, hyper-realistic scale texture, and the unique, vibrant red contrast against the ghosted silver body.
From an application perspective, the GG Hasu Red Eye is a high-confidence color that truly shines in a wide variety of water conditions, particularly where there is moderate water clarity and a population of shiner, shad, or other similar silvery baitfish. The defining GG finish is designed to subtly refract and reflect light as the lure darts and flashes, creating a natural, three-dimensional baitfish flicker that is appealing to bass and other gamefish. This pattern is most effective when fishing with a stop-and-go or rip-and-pause technique, as the brief stops allow the suspending lure to hang motionless, with the guanine-infused finish continuing to glow and the prominent red eye acting as a clear strike indicator, often triggering aggressive strikes from fish keying in on injured or paused forage.
