Megabass Kirinji 120 – 12cm 21g

Megabass Kirinji 120: The Heavyweight King of Surface Wakebaits

When the conditions get rough or the predators are looking for a substantial meal, Gerry’s Fishing reaches for the Megabass Kirinji 120. This is the largest model in the Kirinji family, designed to provide a “big meal” profile that displaces massive amounts of water while maintaining the series’ signature shallow-running finesse.

At 12cm and 21g, the Kirinji 120 is built for distance and presence. It utilizes the same legendary “4 Intake 4 Out” hydrodynamic head found across the range. This system channels water through internal cavities, regulating the lure’s pressure to generate a violent, ultra-high-pitch rolling action. Despite its size and the massive wake it creates, the water-through technology ensures the lure doesn’t “pull” back against your rod, allowing you to work large lures on standard spinning gear without fatigue.

Whether used as a high-displacement wakebait or a loud, splashing popper, the Kirinji 120 attracts trophy fish from a distance by creating a distinct trail of bubbles and water jets that mimic a large, panicked baitfish.

Where to Use the Kirinji 120

The 120mm version is the “big gun” for high-energy environments and larger target species:

• Heavy Surf & Choppy Coastlines: The 21g weight and aerodynamic profile allow the Kirinji 120 to punch through onshore winds. Its stability is unmatched; where smaller lures get tossed around by white water, the 120 stays “locked” into the surface film.

• Targeting Specimen Bass: When Bass are feeding on larger prey like Mullet or Mackerel, the 12cm profile is essential. It provides the silhouette required to get the attention of larger, wiser fish that might ignore smaller offerings.

• Tidal Races & Strong Currents: The hydrodynamic vents prevent the lure from “blowing out” or rolling over in heavy currents. It is the perfect tool for fishing “The Run,” where you need a lure that can hold its action in fast-moving water.

• Low-Light & Murky Water: Because it displaces so much water and creates a loud sonic signature through its bubble trail, the Kirinji 120 is exceptionally effective at night or in discoloured water where fish rely on their lateral line to hunt.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: With three #4 treble hooks, the Kirinji 120 has an incredible hook-up rate. When using it as a popper, give it long, sweeping pulls rather than short snaps. This allows the internal chambers to fully engage, creating a long “bubble curtain” behind the lure that predators will follow for meters before striking
