The Megabass Tiny X-Layer is the precision-downsized version of the world-famous X-Layer series.1 At Gerry’s Fishing, we find this 7.6cm, 1.5g lure to be the pinnacle of micro-finesse soft baits. Designed to perfectly mimic the “fleeting” and erratic swimming of small fry, it is a devastating tool when predators are focused on tiny baitfish and are ignoring standard-sized lures.
The Tiny X-Layer retains all the technical features that made the original a legend, including the ribbed body and the pintail design, but in a profile optimized for Ultra-Light (UL) and Light Rock Fishing (LRF) tactics. Its incredibly light weight and supple material allow it to react instantly to the most delicate rod tip inputs.
“Fleeting” Fry Action: When mounted on a light jig head and animated with “successive blows of the tip” (short, sharp twitches), the Tiny X-Layer darts and skips erratically. This mimics the panicked escape of a small minnow or sandeel fry, triggering a predatory reflex strike.
Ultra-Reactive Material: At only 1.5g, the material is soft enough to vibrate with the slightest movement of water. This makes it highly effective in still waters like ponds and canals where subtle presentation is key.
Ribbed Sensory Profile: The signature Megabass ribs create a larger surface area, trapping scent and air bubbles, and providing a lifelike “crunchy” texture that encourages finicky perch and trout to commit to the swallow.
Versatile Rigging: While it excels on a jig head for active searching, it is equally effective in a Drop Shot setup for stationary, vertical presentations around bridge pilings or harbor walls.
| Feature | Details |
| Model | Megabass Tiny X-Layer |
| Length | 76mm (7.6cm) |
| Weight | 1.5g |
| Type | Micro-Finesse Ribbed Pintail |
| Ideal Rigging | 0.5g – 3g Jig Head / Drop Shot |
| Ideal Hook Size | #6 to #4 Jig Head / #6 Drop Shot Hook |
| Target Species | Perch, Trout, Chub, and LRF species (Gobies, Blennies, Small Pollack) |
| Pack Size | 10 Pieces per pack |
The 7.6cm profile is a “match the hatch” specialist for technical micro-lure fishing. The Gerry’s team suggests:
The “Darting Fry” Technique: Use a small, triangular jig head (1g–2g). Cast into areas where you see fry skipping on the surface and use rapid, short rod twitches to make the Tiny X-Layer “dance.” This is the number one way to target active summer perch.
Precision Drop-Shotting: In high-pressure urban “Street Fishing” venues, the Tiny X-Layer on a drop shot rig is often the only way to catch wary zander and perch. The pintail shivers with every movement of the line.
LRF Harbor Searching: For saltwater fans, this is a “must-have” for LRF. Use it with a 1g jig head to “scratch” harbor walls. The 7.6cm size is the perfect snack for everything from ballan wrasse to small pollack and sea bass.
Micro-Split Shot: In very clear streams or rivers, a single split shot 12 inches above the lure allows for an ultra-natural, slow-drifting presentation that is deadly for trout and chub.

Gerry’s Verdict:
The Megabass Tiny X-Layer is a masterclass in downsizing. It offers the same trophy-catching DNA as the 10.5cm version but is tuned for the most delicate situations. If you are fishing in clear water for “educated” fish that are locked on small prey, the Tiny X-Layer is your best bet. With 10 lures per pack, it offers fantastic value and plenty of replacements for busy sessions
