Megabass Scream-X Double Prop Topwater Lure

Megabass Scream-X Double Prop Topwater Lure

The Megabass Scream-X Double Prop is an unconventional Japanese topwater lure designed to combine the surface disturbance of a double-prop bait with the manoeuvrability of a walking lure.

Its twisted 105 mm body carries propellers at the front and rear, producing splash, vibration and mechanical sound during the retrieve. Unlike a conventional straight-bodied double swisher, the Scream-X can also pivot from side to side and perform compact turning actions with limited forward movement.

Megabass Scream-X Double Prop Specifications

Dual-Prop Surface Disturbance

The Scream-X Double Prop uses propellers at both ends of the body to generate splash, vibration and a distinctive mechanical sound across the surface. The propellers remain active during a steady retrieve and can produce sharper bursts of commotion when the lure is worked with short rod movements.

This combination helps the lure cover open water while still providing enough surface presence for weed edges, shallow flats, points and other areas where bass are feeding near the top.

Twisted Body and Compact Turning Action

The body of the Scream-X is formed with a pronounced twist rather than a conventional straight profile. This allows the lure to respond to rod input with a combination of body movement, propeller disturbance and side-to-side direction changes.

With controlled slack line, the lure can be walked across the surface. Stronger, slower pulls create a compact table-turn action that keeps it close to docks, grass openings, laydowns and other concentrated strike zones.

How to Fish the Megabass Scream-X Double Prop

Steady Prop Retrieve

Cast beyond the target and retrieve the lure at a slow-to-moderate speed. The front and rear propellers create continuous surface disturbance, making this approach useful for covering shallow flats, points and open water.

Walk-the-Dog Retrieve

Keep the rod tip low and use short twitches with controlled slack line. This causes the lure to move from side to side while the propellers add splash and sound.

Short Table Turns

Use slower, firmer pulls when fishing beside cover. The lure will turn sharply with limited forward travel, allowing it to remain near a dock corner, weed pocket, stump or overhanging branch.

Twitch and Pause

Mix short bursts of propeller action with pauses. The floating body remains on the surface during the pause, giving following fish time to approach before the next movement.

Best Fishing Conditions

The Scream-X Double Prop is well suited to warm-water periods when bass are feeding near the surface. Productive locations include shallow grass, laydowns, docks, rocky points, flats and isolated cover.

Use a steady retrieve when fish are active and covering water is the priority. Around compact targets, switch to short walks, table turns and pauses to keep the lure in the strike zone longer.

Recommended Tackle

• Rod: Medium or medium-heavy casting rod with a responsive tip.
• Line: Monofilament or braided line with a short monofilament leader.
• Connection: Use a direct knot or compact snap and avoid oversized hardware that may restrict the lure’s movement.
