What Pros Don't Tell You About Swimbait Bass Fishing | Megabass Magdraft for Spring Bass

In this video, I explain when to fish swimbaits for spring bass. I give tips and techniques on areas, baits, retrieves, equipment, conditions and more to help you put more bass in the boat during the spring on swimbaits, glide baits and more. Hope you enjoy!

[@VervainsPS3]

Mag draft a good one!???

[@amals51]

[@TerpDerp]

Dude love how you break down your technique literally to a science. Liked and subbed!

[@handyallaround5776]

very incredible your attention to the detail and the analysis you did with contours, and wind combination!

[@stevevoelker2733]

[@jayward8956]

Congrats on the wedding, Johnny! Great video as always.

[@papaduck2443]

[@xiongthao7888]

Honestly one of the best educational teachers on KZbin. Ignore all the trolls, I enjoy the detailed sessions. Wish you were closer so I can ask for a guiding trip!

[@timisoutdoors]

OMG. I hate fishing in wind...Especially as a Kayak fisher! After this video, I feel I have a technique to learn and practice something new, even when there is wind! Thanks! Congrats on the wedding!

[@jeffniebanck6387]

Great info thanks! And congratulations!

[@delylewoods1682]

Congratulation and thanks for another good video!

Congrats. Thanks for the tips.

[@marklomenick9783]

Congratulations on your wedding!!! Love your videos!

[@cdub5738]

Congrats man!!!

[@Tbowie13]

There are some outliers to the cloudy day rule for swimbaits. In Blue Back Herring lakes (because those herring seem to come out in the open on sunny days, opposite of shad) you can catch them mid day on sunny days on the lower clear side of the lake, in deeper water with SB's. But I completely agree with you for the majority of lakes in the southeastern US. Like you say, "fish the moment" on your lake, however it fishes! As always buddy, great content!

[@ballzybaits4414]

The time lapse was extremely informative.

[@andrewthomas4399]

Congrats Jonny best of luck

Dude congrats on the nuptials!!!

[@bretthumphrey6642]

Congrats man on the marriage!!!

[@brucetaylor725]

Are you going to do any map break downs on Florida lakes? Harris chain maybe.

[@greyhunter9287]

Congratz on your wedding!

[@thisislargemouth5566]

I sometimes commit 10-12 hours to the big baits and won't get a bite. However, when I do it's always so rewarding. Once in a great while in the spring I can go out with an 8 inch bait and put fish in the boat all day. Those are the best days. Lol.

[@pauliverson7781]

Congratulations 🎣

[@jtarryohpengyew8173]

Good work, keep it up. By the way, may I know what action rod you're using? High, Medium, Low ?

[@rvfishingyet]

Such specific conditions to pick up on. I would have missed those, especially from the bank

[@drummertroyg]

Congrats on getting married !!! And thanks for the swimbait info !

[@timwilliams8293]

Congratulations 🎊

[@joeyguyton799]

Congratulations with the marriage. As always very informative videos.

[@GTX10]

Great video man, but definitely get the magdraft freestyle, its weedless.

[@troygoesfishing412]

Congratulations, can you talk a little bit about drop shot fishing. I fish the northeast and the guy’s in my club win a lot of tournament’s doing it but I find it incredibly painful to do all day. How can I compete? Thanks

[@charleshoodmanhood7874]

Really find you electronics videos very helpful . Have you ever tried the 6th Sense Sweep swim bait? I wanting to know more swim baits of any sort. But I know the Magdraft is $13.00 each and the Sweep is 2 for $13.00 FYI

[@j.christopherhickman2060]

Congratulations Johnny . Hope she is a fisher

[@donutman3089]

Conga-Rats on the wedding sir!!!

[@rickvann3489]

Try the mega bass Dark Sleeper doing the same thing. I cast up to the gravel and drag it out

[@taylormoore4991]

Great tips! God bless! God is good!

[@sbhiggs5]

Great video as usual. Congrats on getting married!

[@deuces2k]

Congrats on your wedding!

[@Mavejar520]

Did you notice your mag draft rolling when reeling it in? I fished mine for the first time Saturday and I couldn’t get the retrieve right and I noticed it turning on it’s side a lot.

[@danham3344]

Congratulations on your marriage! Have some great time off. We’ll be here when you get back. 👌🏼👍🏼

[@fisherofmen9897]

What is your go-to wacky rig hook?

[@kylebrandstattfishing7270]

Congrats on the marriage!!!

[@kevinhutchinson1322]

Congratulations on your Wedding!

[@hillbillytarzan]

I love throwing big swimbaits. Congratulations on getting married!

[@verlinbalsigeriii9617]

When the conditions change to little to no wind and a brighter sky, what would you switch to?

[@davisneil4941]

God bless you on your wedding! I hope you have a lifetime of fishing fun together.

[@rafabonati7757]

Although I am a graduate alumnus of the U of A, I wouldn’t wear a red colored sweatshirt while fishing. Bold colors are easily seen by fish and therefore they can see a person wearing them. Just like matching the hatch, match the background environment with your clothing. Gray on cloudy days, blue on bluebird days. Razorback sweats come in gray too!

[@vhype233]

How do your trolling motor withstand all that wind?

[@Brian-fu9um]

Nice vid Johnny - when you say a "45 deg. bank" are you talking about how steep it is ?? :-)

[@FishtheMoment]

Yes sir. The bank angle is 45 degrees

[@vhype233]

How many batteries powering the trolling motor and what kind

[@muskietime]

Married? Lucky Bride. Wishing you Two the Very Best. Thank you for such informative videos. Be well.

[@gwo8th211]

On the phone with Mom, best of times.

[@grandprairie2712]

I need help learning how to fish Beaver lake but I don’t know how to contact you. Beaver is my home lake, unfortunately.

[@tablerockkid8237]

Congratulations on the wedding! Hope the new bride likes to fish. Thanks for the informative videos. See ya on the Rock someday.

[@rickymaynard4880]

Is that the 6" or 8" Megabass Magdraft?

[@timothymason8779]

Thanks for your valuable time and information 👍 God Bless 🙌 on your Wedding 💑

[@solaydbak]

I’d say step up to a heavy rod and 18 lb to 20lb line. I just broke a MH today fishing a 6inch mag draft. Never broke a rod before. I was then treated to a jump show , while the fish tried to shake my magdraft. Missed my pb ten minutes before. Hookset wasn’t the greatest (I was hookset shy because I had just snagged my lure. I set the hook and she jumped and shook my magdraft right out. I. Wanted to cry. Ordered 3 more right after breaking my rod. These things are legit.

[@travisbruno5964]

Congrats on getting married. God Bless and thanks for the footage

[@The_Bass_Stunters]

Also picked up that tip by “Zaldangerous” dude is a beast with the MegaBass Magdrafts!

[@RichyBobby611]

Pretty ominous that a local Magdraft video shows up after I've been slamming them in the same area, the last 2 months...(just jerking your chain) Including a new PB 9.5lbs largemouth on the 8".

[@davidcass5436]

Congrats on your wedding
