Quick take
A 6-inch sinking swimbait with belly slits that let you rig it weedless using Megabass's Maghold system.
The Megabass Magdraft is a 6-inch sinking swimbait with a soft plastic paddle-tail body, aimed at black bass in rivers, ponds and lakes. A magnetic disc inside the body keeps the treble hook tucked close to the belly as the bait swims. At about 1.25 ounces it gets down through the water column, so it suits anglers working a big swimbait at a range of depths.
Best for
- Bass in rivers and lakes during spring and fall
- Tight spots with cover where a weedless rig helps
- Slow presentations where the bait can glide
Skip if
- You want to retrieve fast
- You fish shallow, open water with crankbaits
Strengths
- Belly slits and Maghold system hide the hook for a more natural profile
- Sinking rate lets you fish different depths with one retrieve speed
- Silver Shad color works well in clear and slightly stained water
Trade-offs
- Heavier rigs may reduce casting distance on light lines
- Slower sinking than weighted swimbaits
- Triple hook can foul in thick vegetation
