The Nanko Reaction color is a highly sought-after, limited edition finish from Megabass, frequently found on the Vision Oneten series of jerkbaits, and is known for its subtle yet powerful flash combined with natural baitfish elements. This specific pattern features a bright, reflective metallic silver base on the sides, which is overlain with a semi-translucent back tinted with a blue and purple hue. The combination is designed to maximize the flash effect, or “reaction,” when the lure is twitched, while the darker back provides necessary contrast. Due to its limited release, particularly on models like the Vision 110 +1, it maintains a strong appeal for lure collectors, often commanding a premium value for its rarity and exceptional aesthetic detailing.
In application, the Nanko Reaction color is an ideal choice for lightly stained water and is particularly deadly under bright sunlight, as its reflective properties are maximized to generate an intense, erratic flash that triggers an aggressive predatory response. It is specifically designed to provoke a reaction from fish that are not actively feeding by exploiting their curiosity and aggression during the stop-and-go retrieve typical of jerkbait fishing. This color works exceptionally well on suspending jerkbaits in cold water conditions, where the lure is paused for long periods, allowing the subtle chrome flash from the metallic base to entice strikes from wary bass that may be inspecting the lure.
