In this video I will be demonstrating 3 hacks for the Megabass Dark Sleeper swimbait! The dark sleeper has been a big producer for me recently for a variety of species, and I know it to be particularly effective here in Michigan where most of the bodies of water, including the Great Lakes, are INFESTED with gobies! After using them for some time, I came up with some ways to make them more durable and even more productive!

Just an update here – Now that I have acquired a fair amount of fly-tying materials, I use some Flex formula UV resin by Solarez to coat the nose/eyes of the Dark Sleeper. You can cure it much faster and it's impact resistant with a fair amount of flexibility which makes it last longer!
Any other recommendations for the epoxy ? I have been using superglue
Resin doesn’t adhere well to plastic like that in my experience. I usually just buy cheap eyes and super glue them on as needed
I mostly use chatterbait over dark sleeper just because of the noise. This rattle changed the game
Great hacks for an already great bait! Got to sub for that!😎🎣
I am going to add the rattle hack to the Sleeper Craw also. Thanks for the hacks.
Been using these for the past 2 years an they have a deadly hook up ratio
Some fire hacks right here 🤙🏼
That rattle hack and scent hack are definitely my favorites. I normally take the eyes of my dark sleeper and if they aren’t attached well I’ll superglue them.
All great hacks, man! Really great stuff that I'm definitely going to be adding to my arsenal. I didn't know some gels were sticky like that, I'm going to start using stuff like that more.
Your channel is growing so well and you get insane views. It makes me jealous sometimes, but it's well deserved. You have perfect thumbnails, great lighting, and just great tutorials in general.
Good job, Jake. 👍
I like the scent hack
Great hacks! New subscriber.
Genius idea popping that rattle behind that keel weight!👌
Great hacks to ensure the longevity of the bait. I did find that the fish prefer the blind fish because it mimics an injured fish and trigger those apex predators!😂🤣
