The ultra-thin body cuts water resistance while throwing a hard flash and a tight, high-pitch roll — what a finesse crank needs when fish inspect a bait rather than react to it. Inside is Megabass' Neo Triangle Counter Balancer System, a precision internal weight arrangement that loads the cast on a small 62mm, 5.3g body and then drives that high-pitch roll on the retrieve. Because the bait suspends, it hovers in place through a pause instead of floating up or sinking out of the strike zone, which is what makes twitch–pause and slow-roll presentations work with it. Megabass position it as a mid-range bait for roughly 1.0–1.5 m of water.
