It keeps the shad body and the patented Megabass Shaft Balancer System of the original — an internal balancer that always returns the lure to its centre of gravity, giving a high-pitch rolling flash that survives both a fast burn and hard rod snaps — but a purpose-built diving lip takes it to about 7 ft (Megabass Japan list a maximum of 2.1 m). That is the difference that matters: the standard Flap Slap works the top 4 ft, while this one reaches rock ledges, submerged grass lines and mid-depth transitions the shallow version passes over. It is silent, with no rattle chamber, and it floats, so it still rises clear of cover on the pause. The SP-C special coating carries a high-clarity foil finish for flash in stained or deeper water.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloating diving lure, 76.2mm (3 in), 12.5g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRuns to approximately 7 ft (Megabass Japan: max 2.1 m) — roughly 3 ft deeper than the standard Flap Slap\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePatented Shaft Balancer System for high-pitch rolling flash and casting stability\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSilent — no rattle, suited to clear or heavily fished water\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFloats on the pause so it climbs clear of rock and grass instead of hanging up\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFitted with #6 treble hooks, two per lure\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow To Fish It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrank the depth\u003c\/strong\u003e — Cast long, wind hard for the first few turns to load the lip and dig the bait down, then settle into a steady medium retrieve to hold it near 7 ft.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDeflect off structure\u003c\/strong\u003e — Grind the lip into rock ledges, stumps and the top of submerged grass, then keep winding; the kick out of the deflection is the strike trigger.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCrank and pause\u003c\/strong\u003e — Bring it to depth, stop for a second or two and let it rise slowly before restarting.
