The Megabass Magdraft has been a staple swimbait for guys across the country and just recently, Megabass re-released the 5inch version and Ben went out and caught some giant bass on it!
*Disclaimer – we had hoped to release this video during the spring restock of 5” MagDrafts. However, it looks like those won’t be coming back until later this year. We hope this video can still provide some insight on the best rods and setups to use and how to fish the bait for all of you who purchased them earlier this year. Enjoy!

That smallmouth at the end, just insane! And the story behind it was even better. Thanks for sharing it with us! 🔥💪
I have problems w fish hooking on. They hit it fine. But they miss the hooks.
the tiny version lol
Ben fest nice! Just wish we could buy some. White isn’t on the planet.
did we not get a scale on the giant smallie?! :O
Great video can’t wait to try it out
Mohave has some big fish
Needs to be heavier . They blow out so easy in current .
What a gorgeous Arizona smallmouth!
You have no idea what a tiny swimbait is, nor am i going to tell you. But we have won 50+ tournaments in the last 7 to 8 years on it. And its not a srasonal bait, save for the dead of winter. It catches numbers as well as size too.
Now THAT is an AZ smallmouth!
What lake are you at??
Nice catch Ben!😊
The USDM version has a better tail kick than the JDM version for whatever reason.
Useful tips. What do you think about throwing the 5” on a P5 Super Destroyer?
Nice smallie!!! What size nail weights would you recommend for the 6in and 8in magdrafts?
How much yall reckon that pig weighed?
That was frickin sweet man ❤️ to see those smallys …. Especially eatin a swimbait I swear they should do down to a 3 inch Clearwater colors $$$
Love 5in mag just need them to be available to buy
Some really nice smallies! Love the 5" MagDraft!
Love the videos
That was a tank of a smallmouth Ben 🤯 great job as always. I really like that weight hack, that is something I will try in the future. Thank you for sharing, hopefully your week is going well. As always tight lines 👊
Thanks for going over your technique and equipment! Def some nice ones!
Why you guys dont promote the x10 at all ! Was it a flop ? I hear they very good rods with a unique feel
I’m not going to lie, I’m not impressed with the 5 inch at all. The action is just not as good as the 6. I caught my PB on a 6” and I have a hard time even using the 5 because of how weird it looks in the water. idk maybe it’s me.
Super Ben! I love the weight mod that you did on that for wind. I'll definitely use that the next time I'm on the main part of the river with the wind blowing like crazy.
