Want to buy these? Check out these links: bit.ly/2jbHWpV and bit.ly/2AmnNAX . Jet Tackle is sadly no longer around, but the generic cicada lures can be found through Aliexpress, eBay, Amazon
If you loosen up the wings, they'll 'buzz' fairly well. I've landed some nice fish on that style of lure. The wLure one's are a little more loose than the Jet Tackle ones, but they both work
The megabass one has better action and a more accurate sound. (There's video of Mr. Ito online tuning the sound to match real cicada). Took an old school heddon crazy crawler, gave it crazy realistic colorways and tuned it to to match the exact sound of cicada. That's the type of innovation & R&D your paying for when getting a megabass product. Worth every penny. Fuck knockoffs. Don't support companies who steal others ideas. *great comparison izzak, thanks for taking the time to do this!
We also can't pay for Megabass so we do wLures. Anyways, I find Megabass to be junks when compared to Storm Twitch Stick or Ricky Clunn jerkbaits. Just a note for all those who fall prey commercialization.
The wlures and knock offs are fine to buy when ur buying crankbaits and such but when the product ur buying is a little technical or detailed mechanicaly u cant go past companys like megabass , u pay more but the work and the quality that goes into the product doesnt even compare with the knockoffs ! I think u will find the knockoffs wont take many fish before breaking either cheers mate good video
I find Megabass to be junk and I find Ricky Clunn to be better even on your wallet. Thanks for tuning in. Anyways, for Cicada, no lure will rival the likes of the DUO cicada. Thank you again.
@socalbassboy Thanks! I've posted the complete review with more detailed photos on my blog. I received the Megabass from a friend traveling in Asia. It's not too hard to find on eBay though.
I absolutely love the Megabass cicada lure, but 20 bucks for a lure?! I decided to buy two Jet tackle crazy bugs instead. Wish the Jet tackle crazy bug had more of the buzzing action the megabass one does.
I don't know why but I just got a loud voice telling me where you tried the lure is in a civil war area. And you could find something there if you were to look. Let me know what part of the country are you from?
I think both of these cicadas are knock-offs of Japanese-made lure called DUO Realis Shinmushi! Here, check out the action of this lure: th-cam.com/video/3nsm9remO1M/w-d-xo.html I have used many lures from many different parts of the world. I think the Japanese got everybody beat once again --- in the sport fishing industry just like they beat everybody in the automobile, TV, and household appliance industries. Japanese lures seem to be better built, with more realistic details and colors as well as better actions on their lures.

This is exactly what I was looking for . Thankyou for the comparison video

No cicada will rival the DUO cicada lure. Trust me on this one.
amazing lures man! i like how the megabass one looks the best! where did you get it?
Suh- CADE-uh
going to work great this year because it the year of the cicada!
The first one is a remake of a very old lure, Heddon Crazy Crawler.
I absolutely love the Megabass cicada lure, but 20 bucks for a lure?! I decided to buy two Jet tackle crazy bugs instead. Wish the Jet tackle crazy bug had more of the buzzing action the megabass one does.
I would say that the Megabass cicada should be retrieved 3-6 ft. and then paused... like an insect attempting to get out of the water.
it would be even better if you could just buzz it in place. once a cicada goes into the water its f**ked its not swimming anywhere.
The first one seemed to have the best 'wing buzz' action. Should be deadly during the years the cicadas are buzzing.
so convincing i almost bit my screen
Good stuff, thanks for the vid!
Thanks for the video bro.

It is said with a long a sound
i was just here this morning for the first time, well now its yesterday morning. caught a few one pounders.
