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!

    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.

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!
