Megabass Makippa Sawara Tune 40g: The Ultimate “Bite-Proof” Casting Jig

At Gerry’s Fishing, we know the frustration of losing a trophy fish—and an expensive lure—to the razor-sharp teeth of pelagic predators. The Megabass Makippa Sawara Tune 40 is the solution. This is a purpose-built, high-speed casting jig specifically “tuned” to survive and succeed where standard lures fail.

The “Sawara Tune” takes the legendary Makippa design and reinforces it for battle. Gone are the vulnerable assist braids; in their place, Megabass has utilized a split ring and swivel system for hook attachment. This hardware-driven design completely eliminates the risk of toothy predators like Spanish Mackerel (Sawara), Pike, or Bluefish biting through your leader.

Performance-wise, this jig is all about “flash and vibration.” The rear-mounted Colorado blade creates a massive sonic signature and high-speed flashing that triggers aggressive reaction bites. More importantly, the blade acts as a stabilizer, keeping the jig submerged and swimming perfectly even during the “burn” (the ultra-high-speed retrieves) required to catch fast-moving predators.

Where to Use the Makippa Sawara Tune

This 40g powerhouse is designed for maximum versatility in both shore-based and boat fishing scenarios:

Shore Jigging & Pier Casting: The compact, aerodynamic body allows for massive casting distance. It is perfect for reaching “surface boils” far from the pier or beach where Mackerel and Bass are busting bait.
Low-Light Power Fishing: Every color in the range features a Keimura (UV) finish. This makes the lure glow intensely under ultraviolet light, making it the “go-to” choice for the high-activity periods of dawn, dusk, or deep, overcast conditions.
High-Speed Vertical Jigging: If you are fishing from a boat over wrecks or reefs, the 40g weight allows it to sink quickly. The Colorado blade provides a “thump” on the drop and a violent vibration on the way up, making it irresistible to fish holding in the mid-water column.
Targeting “Toothy” Species: While designed for Spanish Mackerel (Sawara), this is an exceptional choice for UK anglers targeting large Atlantic Mackerel, Garfish, or even Pike in brackish water, where standard assist lines would be shredded.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: The beauty of the Makippa system is its versatility. If you find you’re getting “short strikes” (fish hitting the middle of the lure), use the belly eyelet to add a small treble hook. The 40g weight is perfectly balanced to handle the extra hardware without ruining the swim action
