The IL Sirius, featuring a beautiful contrast created by holographic stripes and illusion colors, is one of Megabass's signature color schemes alongside the Hachiro Reaction. It was conceived around 2002 when Megabass was challenging new painting techniques. This technique, applying holographic (guanine) paint only to the stripe sections, was also born from various challenges. While colors like HT (Halftone), where masking holographic paint was applied only to the back or belly of the body, existed at other lure manufacturers at the time, the striped pattern masking holographic paint seen in this color was unique to Megabass. The subtle yet distinct flash emitted from the stripes, which allowed light to pass through, combined perfectly with the illusion paint on the back that changed hue depending on the light angle. This created an exquisite accent, mimicking the appearance of a wounded bait fish with peeling scales. The moderate appeal, understated yet commanding presence, is truly unique to this color. Incidentally, the IL Mirage featured in models like the Live X Margay and the X-80SW for sea bass is a sister color to this IL Sirius..
