Three Tips for Magdraft Swimbait Success
The Megabass MAGDRAFT swimbait, revered in tournament and trophy bass fishing circles alike, is designed to deliver an unrivaled head-shaking, tail-thumping action right out of the package. And while a
"Drop Swimming" combines the best of pinpoint drop-shotting with the proven appeal of a finesse swimmer cruising along the bottom. First, cast the HAZEDONG SHAD out to a target area, like a boulder on a gravel flat. Work it like you would a dropshot for 10-20 seconds. If you don`t get a bite there, start slowly dragging it back, being careful to keep the weight ticking along the bottom. This approach greatly increases the productive range of a dropshot rig, taking out that "needle in a haystack" feel and giving you more chances to comb the bottom for bites.
Tip: Tungsten dropshot weights are much harder than lead, translating into heightened sensitivity when dragging bottom, allowing you to feel the nuances of bottom composition. In many cases, slowing down your drop-swim or pausing to work the bait for a fresh 10-20 second spell when you feel transitions to hard bottom and/or rock will lead to more bites🎣

A key forage for many gamefish throughout North America, yellow perch patterns are an essential tool in angler arsenals. Follow these tips ⬇️ to get your perch bite dialed!
Opacity & Contrast: The dirtier the water, the more opaque you want your color finish and the more contrast you want in the pattern. Opacity helps the lure`s overall profile stand out, whereas a higher pattern contrast (e.g. darker stripes, a dark back paired with light side) key predators into forage type more quickly. In stained waters, start with a MAT PERCH and in clear waters, start with a GP PRO PERCH, and be sure to experiment from those baselines.
Reflectivity: Whenever there`s sufficient light penetration, lure finish comes into play. A semi-transparent finish like GP has subtle flash, whereas a GG takes it up to an 8 (a 10 is reserved for a mirror chrome finish). The outsized flash of a GG pattern in clear water can be a huge draw, but if followers aren`t committing, dial it back to a GP. From there, you can dial it back even further to a matte finish like MAT PERCH, which almost looks like it gives off a subtle glow in crystalline waters.

A downsized version of the legendary 🇯🇵 crankbait, the MR-X GRIFFON (BFS) exhibits high-pitch action and pinball deflections to dominate challenging bite situations in the 5-7ft range. With a round lip and sculpted hydrodynamic form, GRIFFON’s deflection recovery is nearly instantaneous, eliminating the sluggish post-deflection period that can dissuade potential bites. Exhibiting an elusive combination of stability, dynamic deflection and high-pitch wobble, the MR-X even tracks true in challenging current situations.
When fishing in moving waters, casting perpendicular to the water`s flow and reeling just fast enough to activate the GRIFFON`S hard-hitting action while the bait swings downstream is a great way to target smallmouth using current seams as ambush points. Repeating this cast line (making multiple casts of different distances from the same spot before moving downstream) will cover a wide range of water and offer a unique presentation.

The #GreatHunting HUMPBACK dominates the swift current and steep dropping pools of the toughest technical streams, capturing bites from veteran trout. Its fast sink and agile flashing appeal allows @lifestyle_of_masakazu_fukuyama to methodically target high percentage areas with speed and efficiency.
Tip: Current near stream structure will often change direction in ways that you cannot see, causing fish to position differently than expected. By trying multiple cast angles from up stream and down stream at the same target, your bait`s action and speed will change, giving fish a new view from where they are positioned that can generate more strikes.

When fishing around grass and isolated rock, the DARK SLEEPER can be utilized mid-column like a #swimbait and then dropped to the lake floor on the pause to be fished like a jig—all without skipping a beat.
Experiment with various retrieve and bottom crawling speeds, mixing in a number of pauses and hops until you find what the fish are looking for. You may be surprised to see how effective the SLEEPER can be when “soaked” on the bottom with minimal angler input. The SLEEPER’s tail is super responsive to the slightest movement, so it doesn’t take much to bring it to life!
