Yeah, “insane,” to quote the Megabass USA website. Here’s what I’m talking about, all from the website:
> …the quality, innovation, and insane attention to detail that characterizes all things Megabass.
> Yuki Ito, founder and CEO of Megabass, coined the term “tackle integration†which “expresses the idea that design must not lose sight of the human. Our hands often mediate our experience of the physical world. Therefore the same hands should shape and ultimately give birth to the objects that inhabit our world. So often mass-produced goods come to us stamped out of a computer model, largely conceived, designed, and produced without having a chance to evolve through sustained human contact.”
> Today Megabass continues this tradition of innovation, quality, and custom handicraft, never losing sight of the angler’s hands for which each Megabass product is painstakingly made.
Strangely, that all kinda makes sense – and is a basser’s kind of insanity. I mean, only from that level of obsessiveness are you going to get stellar stuff like what Megabass does.
There’s a final piece to this Megabass insanity story, one which sorta points to these baits being born out of tournaments. More on that next week.
