Aesthetically, the Aurora Signal Chart pattern is a masterclass in the “Aurora” (colour-shifting) finish that has made Megabass a favourite among lure collectors. This colourway features a high-flash, iridescent side that transitions between pearlescent silver and subtle violet hues, mimicry of the scales of a dying baitfish. The defining characteristic is the high-visibility “Signal” component – a vibrant, chartreuse back and a glowing orange or red belly. This combination creates a striking visual aesthetic that balances the naturalism of a holographic scale pattern with the aggressive, neon accents that stand out in any display case or tackle box.
From a technical application perspective, Aurora Signal Chart is designed for maximum performance in stained or low-light water conditions where standard natural colours fail to produce a silhouette. The chartreuse back acts as a tracking point for the angler, while the aurora finish creates a flash as the lure rolls, cutting through murky water to trigger reaction bites. Pro-staff techniques often involve using this colour on a Vision Oneten or Deep-X crankbait during the transition from dawn to full sun, as the shifting light allows the aurora finish to cycle through its full spectrum. It is an essential ‘search and destroy’ pattern when you need a lure that provides the visibility of an attractor with the sophisticated light-refraction of a high-end Japanese finish.
