Is This $10 Knockoff Better Than the Real Swimbait?

Day 33 of 100 Days, 100 Baits: We’re testing the H2O X Gizzard Shad swimbait from Academy Sports.

This bait is widely considered a budget knockoff of the famous Bass Mafia Daingerous swimbait. While it does run slightly stiffer in the water, the swimming action and overall durability were surprisingly impressive for the price point. In this test, we break down the underwater action, swimming profile, draw power, and whether this budget-friendly glide swimbait deserves a spot in your tackle box.
