The “SB CB Stain Reaction” color is a highly coveted, limited-edition color from Megabass, produced on the flagship Vision Oneten jerkbait. The “CB” designation typically indicates a Chartreuse Belly, a subtle variation on the famous “GP Stain Reaction” that won the Bassmaster Classic. This color is characterized by a translucent, baitfish-mimicking body with subtle, hand-painted details, most notably the striking chartreuse accent seen from the underside or when the bait rolls. As a “Special Color” (SP-C) release, its scarcity is immediately established, making clean, packaged examples instantly collectible. Anglers and enthusiasts prize it for its unique, tournament-proven lineage and the fact it is generally only available during short, highly anticipated drops at select retailers.
The strategic application of the SB CB Stain Reaction pattern lies in its high-visibility, light-reactive properties, making it perfectly suited for challenging fishing conditions. The translucent body allows natural light to penetrate, preventing the lure from silhouetting harshly, which is ideal for clear water or calm, sunny days. Conversely, the “Stain Reaction” element — particularly the bright chartreuse belly flash — acts as a powerful visual cue in low-light conditions, under heavy cloud cover, or in slightly stained water. This creates an irresistible “pop” or flash that triggers reaction strikes from neutral or pressured bass, leveraging the inherent darting and suspending action of the Vision Oneten to its maximum potential.
