The Megabass Dark Sleeper and Berkley Agent E are very similar baits, but just how similar are they?

There are a lot of swimbaits on the market but these two swimbaits are just a little bit different and I wanted to do a comparison between the two to show you what they look like in the water.
BassFishingHQ is dedicated to teaching people how to catch more and bigger bass. I will go over different bass fishing tips & techniques that will put more fish in the boat or on the shore. Whether you are just starting out or a seasoned tournament angler, my goal is to help you catch more bass.

Great video! One of my faves! Yes to more lure comparisons! Oh and your knot vids are faves also !
Agent e hooks bend
If you crease the mono at the back of the agent e the hookup is 💯 better and still weedless
I am interested in the app. How would you rate it against similar apps.
8:45 bass blew up right as you were talking about aggressive bass lol
Actually Tyler,I very much appreciate the fact that Berkeley decided to copy the dark sleeper and give me 2 of them for cheaper than the sleeper…it's a free and open market out there
The ole wiggle test
Give them the bananas!!!
Awesome video I love the way you compared the two Baits
Thank you for the review! I have both lures and never used yet. At targeting hybrid striped bass in a paddle only lake in Ohio, I'll going to try the Berkley due to depth. Last hybrid snapped off near my kayak seat, forgot the net, used light set up with a Berkley 3" pogy swimbait natural shad.
The Darksleeper is actually a Gobi which just kind of shuffle along the bottom of that helps with a clue on how to fish it.
I think there is a case for both of them. The agent E has a rattle and can handle wood a little better while the dark sleeper has a better weedguard for grass and the tail can move better at slower speeds. Otherwise it’s pretty much just pick your poison.
If you wanna fish a dark sleeper like a jig you had better have deep pockets 🤣🤣🤣
Thank you Tyler, 😂🍌🤣🍌😂🍌, great under water footage. I fish the Agent-E and that was some helpful information! 👍🏻🇺🇸🎣
Agent e is better
Here was my take on the two there both great. However the dark sleeper wins only because it comes in 1/4 oz. The 1/4 just killed it for me for crappie/ white bass/ and large mouth this year.
8:34 blow up
"Give 'em the bananas" lolol
Dark sleeper has never fail me. When the fish don’t bite I always throw a dark sleeper or vision 110 and they always produce.
Was out on a lake last week, and fishing all day off cranks weightless senkos jerk baits and drop shot, bunch of stuff and nothing was just biting for some reason. I mean i caught 3-4 before but in a long time period. Pulled out the megabass dark sleeper and caught 3 back to back in less than 10 mins.
I'm told by a local Berkley pro that the Berkley is much more durable and has a better hook ratio.
subscribed ! Thanks for the comparison – I have both products. 🙂 This will be very useful, cheers !
The eyes on the dark sleepers pop out awful easy. But they still get bit.
Hey man .. the intro and the sponsorship sections need to be shortened.
I personally use and like the dark sleeper. Never seen the agent e
Great gopro underwater demo
The dark sleeper is original & I do think Berkeley copied the dark sleeper. But all lure companies do it. Thier about making mew baits & making $ Seeing the swimming next to each other the Berkeley has secondary action of head wiggle like a magdraft or other good swimbaits. That secondary action is huge plus if your fishing though water column. If you're just crawling on bottom obviously won't matter. Both seem like great baits, I've had dark sleepers for few yrs now. I'll have try the Berkeley ones. Are you from Ohio? What area? I'm from Cincinnati Ohio. I just moved to southern SC end of last summer. Bass fishing down here is on another level!
I absolutely love all this info… I’m teaching my wife, so it gives me great ideas for her!! Great work, thanks bud!
What I'm hearing is….buy them both if you can.
Berkley is gonna Berkley At least they are consistent.
8:35 or so, weird splash in the background. LOL. Should also check out the new Savage Gear Structure Gill. I haven't fished it enough yet to say anything about it, but has a good profile.
I’ve always had great luck with the megabass in little Ohio ponds. I’ve been wanting to try the agent-e to see if I notice a big difference
The dark sleeper is good
Great review. One of the best. Sad that copies happen, but if a copy is better and satisfies patent laws, then so be it. A "name" or copyright is beneficial imho because a copycat cannot have the same reputation that a household name has built.
