The Megabass Spark Shad! Are These The Best Small Soft Swimbaits On The Market?
In todays video, we are taking a look at my favorite soft swimbait, the Megabass Spark Shad. These awesome swimbaits come in three different sizes and can be rigged a multitude of different ways to catch big bass. I break down some of the ways I personally fish the baits to hopefully give you guys some ideas on how to start fishing these swimbaits!

Love the smallmouth crack graphic. It had me rolling.
Hands down the best breakdown of the Megabass Spark Shad I've seen on KZread...Thanks Ben & Jeff. I'm gearing up for Spring Smallmouth and wanted to verify rods to baits. I was spot on for the 3" but your video reminded me to not forget about the 5". Definitely doing the 5" on the Body Ballance jig. I'll use it when the pre-rigged 6" Magdraft isn't working.
Would LOVE to see a video on using the spark shad on the lake, techniques, advice, and most importantly catches ! Love the content
One if the best product reviews I've ever seen! Great job!! Thx for sharing some of your secrets!
Always love your videos showing the actually action of the bait.
Loved the deep dive on the spark shad. Great content as always.
Excellent info.... Thanks for your help on de terminating set ups... Just starting with the Spark Shad
The 3 inch one on the Okishira Spin head is a killer on spotted bass.

If you put a 3 inch sparkshad on a 1/32 #1 keitech round ball jighead the body roll on this bait is INCREDIBLE. Try using the lightest and smallest jighead you can get away with and I gurenteed you’ll be shocked how well it works. I mostly use 6lb Seaguar invisix or red label

The 4" on a 1/2 oz Swinging Rugby Head works great on the Tennessee River in the post spawn
Gracias Ben , ahora entiendo mejor el concepto de los paddel tails.
Zoom has a scuppernogg color also, great to dye with
I got my PB on a Spark Shad, with a weedless underspin!
I love that place
hey jeff, which levante would you suggest for 3' and 4' sparks? mostly on screw heads , small underspins and ball heads for smallmouth
Also, do you guys ever carry the 7inch version? It's one of my favorite larger softbaits (that horizontal fall is deadly in a bigger presentation) but it's impossible to find in the States it seems.
You guys' photoshop skills are top notch! Great videos
Man I have been looking for a swimbait that I can get in different sizes and use one. I have a dobyns colt 734 that is rated up to 1oz so I was hoping to be able to throw the 5 in on that rod with an older Daiwa 100 the bigger size for kind of my swimbait combo as I don’t have a a specific swimbait combo but I also don’t throw big baits. I was looking at the 5in spark shad to kind of give me that big bait big fish chance to catch a big fish. I will be getting all 3 sizes. Awesome video!

When you convert the Uoze to an under spin and put a 4” Spark Shad on the back, what depths would you say the 1/4oz, 3/8oz and 1/2oz go to on 16lb Fluoro ?

You can keep the heavier sizes down along the bottom with a slow retrieve or drag/drop
