Check out the Wired2Fish review to see why the Magdraft has quickly become one of their go-to swimbaits!
Key Features of the Megabass Magdraft Swimbait
MAG-HOLD System: A standout aspect of the Magdraft is its MAG-HOLD system. This internal magnet, combined with a specially designed belly groove, secures the hook harness snugly against the bait’s body during retrieval. This configuration minimizes snags and presents a more natural profile, addressing common challenges faced when fishing in shallow waters.
Robust Hook and Swivel Assembly: The swimbait is equipped with a strong, sharp hook attached to a heavy-duty swivel. This design ensures that when hooking a fish, the hook and swivel move independently from the bait, reducing the fish’s ability to throw the hook.
Side Fins for Cover: Incorporated side fins serve a dual purpose: they contribute to the bait’s realistic appearance and function to deflect cover away from the treble hook’s points. This feature enhances the bait’s ability to navigate through structures with reduced risk of snagging.
Size and Weight Options: The Magdraft is available in multiple sizes to cater to various fishing scenarios:
6-inch: Weighs approximately 1.25 ounces.
8-inch: Weighs around 3 ounces.
10-inch: A substantial bait weighing over 6 ounces.
Performance Insights
Anglers have noted that the Magdraft delivers a pronounced tail thump accompanied by a rocking body motion, emitting strong vibrations while maintaining a natural appearance. Its design facilitates skipping under overhanging structures like trees and docks, making it versatile for various shallow-water environments. The bait is built with durable material that can withstand multiple bites without significant wear.
Fishing Recommendations
The Magdraft achieves optimal performance in water depths of 10 feet or less. It is particularly effective when fished near shaded areas and alongside various structures, offering a substantial profile that appeals to larger bass. Some anglers modify the bait, such as using a bobby pin to secure the hook firmly to the body for enhanced hook stability during skips or slides.
