I Tested 10 Popular Swimbaits Underwater

We’re putting 10 of the most popular 6-inch swimbaits underwater to see exactly how each one swims. No hype, no packaging claims, just real underwater footage of the action that actually triggers big bass. I throw every bait on a slow, medium, and fast retrieve so you can see which ones swim true and which ones blow out and roll over.

Every bait in the test:
Berkley Cull Shad
Fish Arrow Vivid Cruise
6th Sense Hangover
Coltiva Bikkun Swimmer
Imakatsu Stealth Swimmer
SPRO Megalojohn
Megabass Magdraft (the OG)
Comeback Shad (Bass Pro Shops XPS revival)
Strike King Final Copy
Bass Mafia Daingerous Swimbait

My setup for this whole category: a 7’2″ heavy rod, 15 lb fluorocarbon, and a 7:1 reel. That’s the sweet spot for fishing 6-inch harness swimbaits.
