Bass Fishing With MEGABASS SWIMBAITS!

- I was hooked up with a Megabass Sleeper Gill which I was excited to try out so today's video is a change of pace from the typical ultralight stuff I have been doing. I also had a Megabass Magdraft 6" rigged up - this swimbait is so much fun to fish with. I especially like skipping it!

Shout out to Discount Tackle for hooking me up with the Sleeper Gill. I feel like a total doofus for losing it on the first trip. I still think it was a Pike that ate that, but who honestly knows. Either way, from what I can tell, the Sleeper Gill is a pretty cool bait. I personally think it will be at its best around the spawn. Prespawn fish might smash it, but postspawn fish that are hanging by bluegill beds will likely destroy it. I like that it is weedless and can basically be fished like a jig.

More ultralight videos to come... However I might just get that Magdraft out again soon. That was fun!

I liked seeing ya throw some bigger baits. My confidence level is pretty low with a 6 inch bait, helps seeing you have some success with em.
I will definitely be throwing more big baits later this year. Got some fun ideas in the works! That Magdraft is the real deal, I would recommend them.
Heck yeah those skipped really nicely!
I love it when you throw some bigger bait’s!!!
I will definitely be throwing more later this year, just you wait :)
Been playing with the Berkley Gilly this year in the bluegill swimbait category. Mixed results. A bit finicky to rig, but a good option to pull through weedy pockets.
Nice! I have some of Berkley's version of the Dark Sleeper too. I might give those a try soon. Lots of baits to try, so little time XD
Hey Ethan. Placed my mule order yesterday. Glad business is booming! Hope those jigs restock soon
My thoughts exactly. Sold out is not all bad. Happy for you Ethan.
Lots of stuff in the works - sorry about the out-of-stocks! Inventory management is a very tricky skillset when a business is changing so fast. I will get better, I promise!
@@FishAnything not a problem man. Order came in yesterday. Packaging was great got here super fast, of course the quality of the plastics is top tier. And the website was easy to deal with too, glad to be a part of it
Cool looking baits! I like your ultralight videos but this was a nice change of pace. Please keep up the good work.
Definitely more changes of pace to come! Thanks Nathan :)
I love the videos. Keep doing what you love.
Truly appreciate that Daniel :)
Hey it’s like we were just talking about this video!
It's what I do... Ramble to you on the phone about all of my recent fishing
Would love to see more bug bait videos. Awesome stuff, and those skips where text book.
Yeah, I plan to do more big bait stuff this fall. Stay tuned!!
I like seeing the big swim baits. As others have said I have no experience with them so no confidence but am always looking to expand my repertoire.
I’ll definitely fish with more big baits in the future.
Snagless? Heh. Give me five minutes with it and some open water. Snagging snagless/weedless lures is my super power.
I feel you though. I refuse to spend more than a couple bucks on a lure, because I lose stuff pretty much every time I got out. The lake I fish pretty much has two whole paychecks sitting in it.
Haha seriously dude! I knew that having one of these was going to bite me. Annoying, but that is part of the game.
That thing looked clean! I might have to splurge on one or two!
They will be fun for the Bluegill spawn next year. Bass love chasing down bedding gills :)
That thing looks beast! Need to find me one now lol
Supposed to be dropped again in the fall! Hope you find one :)
I lost a 20 inch cutthroat on Wednesday. Saturday night ,after picking up a Okuma ceymar the 1000 bait feeder, caught it again, fly still in its mouth. Fumbling for my phone to prove it , the fish gets away again. Then today someone else has bush wacked a huge opening. My honey hole is getting pressure now
Daaaaaang that is a crazy experience! Congrats on the big one!
And sorry to hear people are blowing up your spot :(
No wonder I couldn't find a sleeper gill, even online... looking forward to trying one, but hoping I don't get piked.
Bass will still hit a swimbait on a steel Leader, they always hit from behind so they don't see the line
Picked up dark sleepers since the sleeper gills were out of stock. They arrived today. Initial stock QC testing was positive like 20 inches of bass in less than 10 minutes of fishing. And it was a single sample. I'm gunna like the gills this fall too.
@@flynnsjflynn awesome! I had a ton of luck last August thru November on the cheap Berkley powerbaits even got a 4lb which is huge for Pennsylvania
Go swim in the lake I was fishing and maybe you'll find it XD Glad you are liking the Dark Sleepers. Definitely a cool concept on both of these baits.
Ethan you lost the sleeper gill before I was done with a couple slices. Seemed to work have to try one from the bank though to see if I loose them as easy as the dark sleeper! Asian Portal has a lot of the sleeper gills if you can’t wait!
I will happily wait haha I don't bass fish enough to need one fast. And I am very happy to hear you had some slices :) I could go for a za right about now.
I think this is a the first vid I have seen you use a rod heavier than light power.
Haha yeah I have been on a big UL kick these days. Still love throwing larger stuff too
Sweet
👊🏽👊🏽
Definitely not snagless. That dorsal fin is so soft, just like with the Dark Sleeper, it doesn’t do much. Most of the time I just cut off the dorsal.
Good to know! I wish I could have played with it more lol
I was a at small lake with ultra light gear and a guy told me a bass stole his bluegill off his line. I’ll be returning with bigger baits next time.
Go get it done! Maybe you will catch a bonus bluegill with a hook in its mouth XD
Those storm baits were fire though.
The Storm baits are the OG! Can't go wrong :)
I recked Lake St. Clair Small mouth on the 3" 1/2 ounce Mega Bass Dark Sleeper.
Heck yeah! I bet that was a blast :)
Hey even with a new bait you are still the dink master lol
Haha hey come on they weren't that dinky XD
Use a metal leader you won't lose your lure.
Probably should have. Honestly though this was the first pike interaction I have had on this lake. Wasn't prepared!
May want to get some ti leader wire e dawg
Honestly this lake has some pike but I have never personally caught one. It's pretty laughable if that was truly my first pike. Felt like the way they bite though so I am pretty sure it was an Esox. Next time, I will catch that fish.
(( 🕷️ ))
fantastic video and fantastic fish catching as well. this lure or jig looks so amazing and there's no question about it.
You should give a try those lunkerhunt phantom spider jigs. They're really big and they really do look like spiders great detail on them and you have Bass, walleye, northern pike, muskies even a big perch we'll tear them up.
Thanks Shawn! I will keep those in mind moving forward, thank you :)

Welcome you are
Hey Love the Channel bro and all the knowledge I have been taught Watching all your content!! I have recently started to fish for Pike here in Mew Mexico I’ve landed One Two pounder so far on a Zman CrosseyeZ chatterbait I have to ask What type of line (leader) besides steel leaders are best?? For landing them bad boys
Honestly I don't have a ton of pike experience but I have done just fine on straight 50# braid!
I had a couple bite-offs by northern and went to steel leaders which stopped the bite offs but also nearly stopped the bites. I changed to Seagar 40 lb fluro San Diego jam-knotted to a barrel swivel on one end & a clip on the other and am back to getting bites w/o the bite offs… and have gotten good action even in crystal clear water.
@@ericwakeman6665 So basically Creating your own 40lb Test Fluro Leaders 🤙🏼
only thing i dont like about this bait is how it falls. if you watch it fall it looks way too dead, and it lays on its side on the bottom. everything else is great though and ive nailed some chunkers on it already with a slow retrieve near any kind of weed line or cover like a dock line etc.
That is fair feedback! I think if you keep your rod tip up and semi slack line, it swims on a pendulum fall a bit better. I think that will be a pretty nice technique with this bait around cover.
Awesome video
Thank you!
That's always my luck with an expensive lure that you only have one of. It's a guaranteed loss.
Haha honestly that is just how it works!
💯💙🔥👍
:) thanks
I always hate losing a lure.
I especially hate losing them on a fish :(
What reel were you using on the 2nd pole?
Tatula Elite casting reel on both setups!
