An 80mm (3⅛”) minnow that is small, but highly appealing, with the idea of match the bait
Swimming Action
1. Lifelike Action and ‘shiner form’ shape
The Megabass X-80 Trick Darter, developed in 1999, is a time-tested suspending jerkbait specializing in tight, lifelike action. Returning to legendary Japanese angler YUKI ITO’s vision of matching the lure to the baitfish in the lake, the X-80 Trick Darter is an 80mm handmade jerkbait offering enhanced jerkbait performance. The 80mm size is close to Japanese baitfish, making it a minnow that can be used anywhere in Japan. Incorporating the same moving balancer system as the X-70, with a body height 1.7 times that of conventional minnows, the X-80 Trick Darter is highly appealing even though it is smaller.

It is called "shiner form" with a shape between minnow and shad, and won the Good Design Award in 1999. More than 20 years after its release, its popularity has not diminished.
After the debut of the X-80, the ONETEN was made by squeezing the body to make it an American minnow. If you hear that the X-80 was actually the origin of the super popular Oneten, you'll want to try it out.
2. A long history inherited to the Vision ONETEN
The X-80 Trick Darter is called "shiner form," with a shape between a minnow and a shad. The X-80 Trick Darter won the Good Design Award in 1999, and after more than 20 years, its popularity has not diminished. Keeping with Mr. Ito’s vision that Megabass lures should be scaled according to the size of the baitfish in the field, the 80mm (3⅛”) Trick Darter is perfect when the baitfish are on the smaller side. After the debut of the X-80 Trick Darter, the Vision OneTen series was made by thinning the body to make it an American minnow. When you hear that the X-80 Trick Darter was actually the original to the ultra-popular OneTen, you'll want to try it out.
3. Aim for a reaction bite with an appeal unexpected from a small minnow
The charm of The X-80 Trick Darter is that it boasts appealing power, unlike small minnows, due to its wide body ‘shiner’ form. Since the body height is larger, it has enhanced fluttering and flushing action. The flushing action when rolling is very large, and compatible with the 110mm size of the OneTen. With great castability and vibration, The X-80 Trick Darter makes for a very good ‘search’ bait. It can be used to entice Bass when fan-casting a large area, or when hunting Bass in strong turbidity. Also, even in lakes where Bass are skittish, you will be able to induce strikes by using the X-80’s powerful flashing.
4. Mimics wounded baitfish, good at wide irregular jerk
While known for its tight, darting ‘dance’, the The X-80 Trick Darter also makes wide jerking possible due to its combination of a low center of gravity and a TUNGSTEN MULTI-WAY MOVING BALANCER SYSTEM (PAT.), developed by Mr. Ito, and incorporated into the X-80. This combination and a high side profile allow for insane darting and sharp fluttering. It moves frantically wide left and right just by lightly tugging the rod tip. Appearing to the Bass as a runaway baitfish, it’s an irresistible action Bass can’t help eating. For all its intense side to side action, the The X-80 Trick Darter travels slowly through the water, so it’s easy for Bass to ambush.
5. Insane action even beginners can easily master
Even if it’s just casting and reeling in, The X-80 Trick Darter provides intense flashing and meandering trajectories due to intense roll action, so even a novice angler can attract the interest of big Bass with strong appeal and unpredictable movements. Although it’s small, the X-80 provides excellent flight distance due to its center of gravity system, so anyone can efficiently explore a wide area of water. Just by doing ‘Stop and Go’, even beginners can easily add irregular actions without the X-80 losing its posture, making the The X-80 Trick Darter a masterpiece of a lure that every angler should have in their tacklebox.
