The Megabass MagDraft swimbait is a hot, hush hush, secret bait in many areas. Well, it is time to get the authority and tell everyone how to fish it! Chris Zaldain is one of the hottest professional bass anglers on the planet and has caught more fish on the Megabass MagDraft that anyone I know. He walks everyone through his set ups, the baits, and how to fish them. We break it down and tell you the goods!

any particular know you recommend?
Chris it’s a great bait. 5lb largemouth today. Thank You
Magdraft, good for Northern Pike? If do color suggestions?
i literally caught one 1.5 pound bass and the magnet fell out of the bait… it's almost useless now, waste of money
Thx guys helpful
Looks to me this should be fished on a more forgiving rod with some bend in it. The treble hook will behave like one in a crankbaits or even a chatterbait.
Excellent video guys just ordered some to try at the Big Bass Bash on Lake of the Ozarks in April
These are ok but not as good as castaic platinum swimbaits. Not even close
Do you think it will work night fishing
Thank you for the awesome information !!!
Great Video !
Big fan guys! I appreciate the tips and videos. Quick question: would it be ok to have 40lbs braided line in shimano curado and heavy fast action St.croix 7.6” for this swimbait? Or do I need to change braided line with fluorocarbon 17 or 20lbs? Thanks a lot
Good stuff!
Crews pulls out Zaldain’s storage tote full of swim baits, and Zaldain saying, “I like to keep it simple”. 🤣
Chris: “ Yeah, I like to keep it super simple”
Proceeds to pull out a whole ass plastic tote filled with assortments of different mag drafts. 🤣
Looking to through this some in the local tournament next week
Good video guys , I wanted to add two other mods that I do to both the 6 and the 8in,, you can remove the belly hook with the swivel ad rig it on top to the eyelit this way you can slow roll it over cover easier and reel it on the bottom without getting hung up , also with the 8in you can cut out the magnetic harness with a razor blade and maker you cut a little deeper and then with a. 10/0 or 12/0 weighted beast hook you can make it weedless like the freestyle, the hook up tackle just did a recent video about this but I have been doing it for years
What about the spark shad? What's the difference?
Great video thx John!
what daiwa reel will handle the 6" freestyle?
Awesome interview John! I begin using the white back 6 inch version in early spring, and it has been a great locator even if they don’t hook up. And I will say the speed of Retrieve is crucial. If you real these too fast they will turn on their side so you have to learn to slow and steady. God bless!
If you don’t already know, there is another way of rigging the Magdraft where it is weedless. Here is a video from Bigbassdreams showing how to convert these lures to become weedless. After I lost a few of my first Magdrafts on deep snags, I converted every Magdraft I had after that to be weedless. Haven’t looked back. Makes this lure able to be fished anywhere and perfects the lure in my opinion. Megabass found out about guys like Oliver Ngy who were having great success doing this and then released the Magdraft “freestyle” as an encore so anglers would have a Magdraft ready to rig weedless right out of the box. https://youtu.be/ST10ew0aPKM
Okay Enough is enough. You guys need to get back on tour. You’re making all these videos making me buy lots of stuff. My wife is making me sleep in the garage tonight. I could see if Tackle warehouse has a room. LOL
Thank you – very informative. John please confirm with Chris – is it a 7/0 swim blade with a 1/4 oz – he talks about 1/8 oz which doesn’t seem to be available.
Great info from the Zaldaingerous One
