I just bought the 6" Mag Draft. Thanks for showing different ways of rigging of it . Great video. 👍🏻

Thanks for your valuable time and information 👍

GREAT INFO! Thank you guys👍🏻

Awesome video!!! Love the magdraft

The 6in & 8in have caught me some of my biggest Snook I've ever caught in my life, and I just turned 53. I have never come across a lure that so productive like this bait rigged freestyle. The other lure that has been very productive is the Jackall Dowzswimmer.

I like these product spotlights as was the in-depth technique videos Great job 👏🏽 👍🏼

Great juice... thanks for sharing the info.

Now this is why I love the channel man, ive been throwing the magdraft for awhile now ive always pointed the rod tip straight at the bait and ive probably had a 60/40 land ratio definitely going to try angling the rod this year thanks for the great info always ben!

It'll improve your hook up ratio by a lot! It took me a long time of dumping them to figure out I was just too fast at feeing them! Let me know how it improves things for you!

Such a great break down have been wondering if I was fishing em right . And learned that the freestyle is a great swimjig trailer im going to definitely try that presentation. Thanks guys

It's just a badass big swimbait I've caught tons of huge bass on. That's why I'll always keep them on deck.

Awesome video I will be getting some of these and the spark shads the two videos you guys have done have been such an eye opener to some baits that I can get into some bigger baits and not have to have specialized gear.

Great video. I have an 8inch that swims a little on its side. It’s new and I’d like to correct it. You mentioned nail weighting. Can you talk more about getting them to run perfect. It’s the only mag draft I’ve had that didn’t run true. Great bait

just took my TB rod out today for the first time got it for 8 inch mags and I Slide 185s love how it handles the mag so far

Awesome vid guys! The rigging tips are great but what knot do you use to tie on to mainline? Cheers

One tip/idea I do to keep from loosing eyes, after loosing a few, is putting Mend-it over the top of the eyes. I build it up with 2-3 smaller coats so it has a good connection to the plastic around the eye. Hope this help someone.

@@carlosalvarado2160 exactly what I do too. Works perfectly. The problem with Mend-it, is that its MEK. It will melt most plastics, clear coats and paints. Risky to use. I just super glue the back and pop em on. If I really want outer protection over them, I'll use UV activated super glue. The stuff is GREAT for many things, fishing and non-fishing.

I would of never thought to use the flashy swimmer to keep the swimbait down for bottom contact...🤯. Ty sir!

The key for me has been periodic shake of thre rod tip and once or twice per cast sudden speed gets bit more than just a steady retrieve. Also i only got one fish so far letting it fall to bottom but i think it will get more bites if i do it.

Will a tour versatile handle a 6" freestyle with a 3/8 beast hook?

What’s the best reel and rod to throw the mag draft 5-6-7-8 inch I am looking at the shimano calcutta conquest dc 200 should I buy the Antares dc md or the 22 Exsence DC XG

Do you like to replace the hooks on the rigged version or does the stock hooks do justice?

I don't have a Tequila Baccarac but I'm sure the Mark 48 should do the trick with the 8" MagDraft! Send some colors over my way so I can play around with em and see which one suits me best. I'll buy a bunch in that color way!!!

Great video! Ben, what 20# fluoro do you like? I am using invis-x. Thoughts on Tatsu? is it any better or worth it? Thanks.

Hi I Wish the have the silver shad in 10” the have only in the 6” Best regards Mike from sweden!!!!!

If I were just starting bass fishing what would you suggest as a basic tackle box. I live in Southern Cal and fish Lake Skinner reserve, Diamond Valley (clear water). Conditions are hot/ cool/cold. What size baits soft or hard? For spinning or bait casting reels? Suggested rod length, line test? Hard baits and soft baits. Style of fishing. This is crazy complex to me but I really want to catch some fish. Could you help? Can’t wait to make a trip to your shop!

Just my two cents but when I swimbait fish I use split rings on all of my soft plastic baits, and snaps on all of my hard baits. It’s a good rule of thumb to start with if anything.

MagDraft is slower and pushes more water. Mag slowly has more tail kick, more action but less water push.

why do you cut out the magdraft magnet and treble hook assembly vs just using the magdraft freestyle, I get it's to make it more weedless but is that not what the freestyle lets you do? I will be fishing this is weedy and tree limb areas most often so I will want to do that mod but was just wondering why mod it vs the freestyle version

I like the 11/0 VMC Heavy Duty willow blade hook, on the 8". Fits the bait perfectly, the hook it long enough to reach the rear of the hook slot (the hook point sits 3/4" further back than a 10/0 Beast). I landed bass upwards of 10lbs on that, this last spring/summer.
