Subscribed about 6 months ago. Started fishing the Magdraft about a year ago. Mostly on Lakes Fork, T-Bend & Sam Rayburn in east Texas. Quietly caught some giants, had some heart stopping followers, etc. Watched every Magdraft video I could find. A few good ones (& the opposite-but that's just TH-cam...) . Most of them have been a combination of 80% BS & footage of "the guy" bragging & dragging in monsters over the gunwales , 10% basic & obvious tips and the rest was just promo for Megabass. BUT not this video! This is the best actual "how-to" Magdraft video on TH-cam. Thanks for making it real & hope to see you do even more in depth videos about fishing the Magdraft. An excellent example on how TH-cam videos should be filmed and a good "presentation model" for someone thinking of starting a channel of their own. Thanks.
I fish the 10" MagDraft and 8" huddleston. You don't need a trailer hook. Big fish will swallow the entire bait. I do like how you rigged the top hook..I may take off the bottom hook and just run one on top so that I can swim it on bottom.
Hey, great tips. Wondered if you've ever had a new Magdraft not run true right out of the box? My new 8" wants to lay over to the right even at a very slow roll. Any help in tuning this $24 paperweight so it can be useful? Any help from you or subscribers would be much appreciated!! Thanks.
@@MattBeckerFishing I gotcha. I throw mine on braid but I’m always learning others peoples methods and reasons. And definitely respect your reasoning. Thank you for answering.
6” bait totally unnecessary for all them stingers. I guesss if you’re trying to bring them 1 to 2lbers that are slapping it but even still… I don’t even use a stinger with the 8” but free country do what you want, I guess…
So much hate for a guy just sharing his technique and rigging method. Almost guarantee none of the people who comment have made their own video to help
Great video. Thanks for the info. Rod/reel combos and speed are always hard to find for these. Will be trying some this week at Champlain. For all the haters. Explain a super spook, shad rap, or any other 6” bait with 3 trebles with your so called logic. I do believe the man said when your in tournament situations and getting short strikes. There are also at least 2 other pros, one being Chris Zaldain offering these same tips. Nobody said you had to do any/all of these ideas. If you want to be a swim bait purest thats on you and enjoy. Don’t hate on a guy for trying to help others.
That's ridiculous in no way shape or form does a 6 inch magdraft need any of that I catch 8 inch smallies on it with one eith fish it stock or get the freestyle and rig it on a beast hook and be done with it
Wow... I fish a lake with 1lb bass in it and I don't even need all that added metal I honestly thought this was supposed to be a sarcastic video if you need to get every fish to the boat then use a smaller bait I think you're missing the purpose of larger swimbaits.
If u feel u need a stinger hook u need to down size your bait.. you're kidding yourself with the whole "big bait" thing if u use a fish killing stinger hook. If u want to catch every fish that bites down size your bait because big bait fishing ain't for u

Well I appreciate those kind words!

That’s gonna kill every fish u catch. It’s gonna get them right in the gills use like 1 hook it’s a 6 inc bait

Unfortunately, no sometimes they just won’t run right. I’d try contacting MB direct!
What are your reasons behind throwing fluoro. Just curious.
Small amount of stretch/shock absorb, line sinks to help keep it down

would the favorite pro series 7 '6 " inch heavy be a good 6" mag draft rod?
Yes it would!
Holy shit that’s a lot of hooks on a 6” bait
Do you use the magdraft in the summer . Or mainly in the spring .
Mainly in the spring for me!
If you are fishing a swimbait in the correct way in the right spot and time they will have no problem inhaling a 6inch or even a 12 inch bait
I throw all sizes of the mag. No need for trailer hook. I hook mine on 65 lb test braid to a 15lb floro
Dang!

I want to get every bite in the boat!
Matt Becker Fishing never lost a fish on a mag draft! FYI heavy action is to much for a 6” thats probably why you’re missing fish!!
@@muskbeard3924 did I see you fishing the elite series?
Great video. How do you put the nail in on that angle?
Very good hacks!👊🎣
Thank ya!

You’ve just got block them out! Appreciate you watching 👍
Good one!
👍
Way too overkill for a 6” bait. I mod the 8” for a weedless 10/0 beast hook and have no issues with hookups.

They will eat the 8inch where you are. I’m in PA and it will catch fish
Crazy insight!!!.. thanks!!
Thank you for this info! Just subscribed!
Appreciate you watching! Thanks for subscribing
2:20 leaf Ninja strikes again!!!!!
Haha it got me!
That’s Cool,I’ll give it a try , Thanks
Boy I bet that will catch lots of logs and bushes....damnit man
Lots of hooks!
These comments crack me up. Everyone is an expert !
Dude only 4 hooks I will go with 10 more
I’d do 12 if I could!
This is a great vid thanks for the idea with the stinger set up
Swimbait guys are the snob golfers of fishing.
I’m not even a swimbait guy lol
Bro if a fish eats that bait whole it’s gonna die no doubt. It’s a six in bait there is no special rigging need one treble it good enough
Not always!
Good info. Thanks
Thanks for watching!
Bad advice. That setup shows no respect or consideration for the fish. You are going to kill fish with that setup.
Wow... I fish a lake with 1lb bass in it and I don't even need all that added metal I honestly thought this was supposed to be a sarcastic video if you need to get every fish to the boat then use a smaller bait I think you're missing the purpose of larger swimbaits.
To each their own!
Hey man, maybe you should just leave the swimbait game to those who actually know how to do it. Terrible info.
I hope he hasn't caught anything with that bait because those fish are dead
Good video and good mods on this bait. Thank you for the info . New sub and like 59 from me.
👊👊
If u feel u need a stinger hook u need to down size your bait.. you're kidding yourself with the whole "big bait" thing if u use a fish killing stinger hook. If u want to catch every fish that bites down size your bait because big bait fishing ain't for u

Lol that’s ridiculous, man. No thought for the fish, whatsoever
Really, these are YOUR tricks! C’mon man
Ooof..
