Magdraft is obviously great but to me Zaldain improved it in every way. Having them both in hand you can see the clear differences. Seeing them in the water and you can see it even more. Zaldain did a fantastic job. Can’t wait to get some loaded ones.
People just love to complain. It is a different bait for a different situation. I looked in my tackle and I have 6 different brands of smaller swimbaits all in the 2-4 inch range. Do I complain about that hell no. They are all slightly different for different situations. Cold water vs warm water, shallow vs deep water, slow vs fast retrieve just no name a few different situations that you need a different swimbait for.
We don’t know what happened between Megabass and Chris but if he went to them with ideas for improvement and they didn’t listen then he did the right thing , his bait is definitely an improvement over the mag draft for sure . I was part owner in a bait mfg. company and we learned that you have to have distinct differences from other lures before even thinking about a patent and even if you have a patent the Chinese will copy it and dare you to do something about it and most small companies don’t have enough money to sue them so there you go , Berkeley is one of the biggest idea thieves there is but I bet that doesn’t stop you from buying their products .
Excited to get mine - never liked the magdraft because i fish pretty fast and it just blows it out, looking forward to the upgraded features on the loaded version to be able to fish my strengths
Always amazed with the whiners crying about "copycats" from lure companies..Not ONE of these whiners only buy/use the originals of all baits...the original suspending jerkbait is Rapala...bet ALL the whiners have a Megabass vision 110, so that makes them hypocrites for using baits a company "stole" the idea from another
We know the line-thru is different from the Magdraft with the harness. Compare the Megabass Freestyle to the Daingerous unrigged swimbait. It's clear Bass Mafia and Zaldain ripped off Megabass. Did they change some stuff up a TAD? Sure. But come on man... Also, Zaldain only mentioned the Magdraft after he was torn to shreds on social media early on when he debuted his new swimbnait that he "spent tons of time designing'. LOL.
@@LakeProTackle OK, and that's great. Initially tho when he left Megabass and "designed" the Daingerous Unrigged Swimbait (the Megabass Freestyle look-alike) with Bass Mafia he didn't. He acted like he put all this time into designing it. So maybe over time he felt the pressure from everyone on social media blasting him and Bass Mafia?
I bought the black back shad but I think I’m gonna have to order the albino one to because I have dirtier water a decent amount but the black back shad should work alright in dirty water also I guess
I’ll say this for all the magdraft MEGABASS lovers. Put yourself in Chris shoes. If you’re working for a company for years and have absolutely no say on improving a bait then you have no choice but to leave and upgrade that version to your style. It’s a slap in the face when you have busted your tail trying to represent a brand that doesn’t acknowledge your ideas. When your forced to put food on the table and maintain your reputation, you to will have no choice but to make a decision for yourself and your family. Chris is humble enough to pay respects to where he got his inspiration from (which he continues to do) but yet we are too quick to make the assumption. The OG does have its draw backs. You can only fish it one speed and the head wobble wasn’t enough when swam either too slow or fast. I personally do not like the magdraft for those reasons. I need options for my style. So if a bait doesn’t allow me to be versatile then I’m forced to look elsewhere.
I watched underwater footage of the hangover and every video I’ve seen it just tumbles through the water column, so I definitely won’t be buying any of those anytime soon, they have to get the bugs worked out of it before I get interested in it
Come on people……every time a product comes out, all the other companies come out with something like it. It’s the nature of the business. I like Zaldains bait myself.
It’s great to have options. It’s like ford vs Chevy vs dodge etc. go with what you like. A company having the monopoly of the market and not improving or building on it is a shame and there are gaps that need to be filled and a base to build on. If someone is close minded enough to not try something new and potentially improved then that’s on them, go play with sonar and downscan.
The unloaded version is literally a Magdraft freestyle. However Zaldains video of the loaded and also Milikens video kinda change my mind a bit on these so called Magdraft copies. Then there’s Berkley that completely makes up a bs story about their “new unique” bait
Yall was tough on me. If I own a bait shop and a company like 6th Sense told me to shut up, I would be like Dana White of the UFC. I would tell them to fuck off, then tell my staff to get rid of all their products from my shop. Dana is the baddest promoter in the history of fighting. That's how you run a fooking business. Take notes.
Considering their baits have the most hype in the industry and always sell out on their website you would not be anywhere close to Dana Whites intellect. Go back to school.
@@LakeProTackle Firstly, 6th Sense suck. I have a lot of their stuff that don't work. Who makes rods with metallic guides? Lol. Wow. You bark loud, but you have no integrity, but you don't know that. You tucked your tail between your legs and shut up when 6th Sense tells you to. Fact. We witnessed in on here. You will do as you're told says Conor McGregor. You have a fraction of Dana's balls. And if your shop followed Covid protocols in 2020, don't talk lkke you know Uncle Dana. Lol. If I talk like you, I would be hard. Lol. Woooo! And the customer is always right homie.

Good breakdown on the differences of the two baits. 👍 Just what I was looking for,
It’s sad how many bait companies rip-off ideas.
rick zaldane helped create both
U only use the originals? I bet u don't

Have u used this swimbait fast? If so, does it swim good at a higher speed? Looking to wake a swimbait just under the surface

I think the exact quote from Zaldain was "with respect to the OG"

Do you know the reason he "left" Megabass?@@Twangtown7
I just hope it swims easier than the hangover the hangover has to be the perfect speed to swim right

I went to a 4/0 flipping hook just to make it a little more weedless
Milliken ,just released one looks good .
Ever think it might be a good idea to rig the bait on camera? RIG THE BAIT - how is the line threaded and tied?
Not really mainly because it's called a line through and there are instructions on the package.
I purchased 3 of these swim baits, 2 of them I couldn’t feed 17 lb fluorocarbon through to the hook. Has anyone else had this problem?
If you double the line on itself and push both through the point comes through very easily.
Thanks, I’ll try it.
@@GUYB1872 Just posted a YT Short on how to!
You made it look easy. Good tip
aint no hate bro its fact , almost same just a little cosmetic difference
Yep😂

This bait was made with FFS in mind by Ben. He posted a video showing you have to start it up just original jackhammers did when they first launched.
Come on people……every time a product comes out, all the other companies come out with something like it. It’s the nature of the business. I like Zaldains bait myself.
Is there a way to show a swimming pool demo of the Loaded Daingerous swimbait ?
We will try to get our raceway tanks running

I hope Megabass copies his design so I can buy theirs instead.

I have taken the liberty to find you on the internet.
a shame really, what's next Missle baits knocking off the cover scat?
Funny thing is the Missile one has almost no salt in it
If fishing shallow the missile is much better than the scat
I'll stick to the original Magdraft, why would i spend my money on a company that produces mediocre/subpar tackle storage. The name is joke BASS MAFIA, so many complaints on their first set of boxes.
MB and Chris Zaldain and the crew of BM that "helped him design it" should sit on a podcast and discuss it.
There is a reason why so many people are calling him out on it.
