Pittsburgh, PA: Megabass of America is proud to introduce the highly anticipated
MAGDRAFT 5IN, an often imitated—but never replicated—swimbait that delivers legendary head-
shaking, tail-thumping action in a refined, snack-sized package. Precision-engineered at 5 inches and 3/4
oz, this compact powerhouse offers unrivaled performance for bank, boat, and trophy anglers alike.

The MAGDRAFT revolutionized the swimbait category, becoming a staple among top tournament
anglers and big-bait enthusiasts alike. Elite Series pro Kenta Kimura has long relied on the 6-inch, 8-inch,
and 10-inch versions in both competition and guiding on Japan’s record-breaking Lake Biwa. Now, with
the introduction of the MAGDRAFT 5IN, anglers can harness that proven effectiveness in an even more
widely appealing form factor.

“There are times when that smaller profile is absolutely key,” said Kimura. “It’s a major advantage on
Lake Biwa in winter and mixed-bag fisheries. In the US, whether you’re chasing spotted bass down south
or smallmouth on the Great Lakes, that compact profile can make all the difference. On TVA fisheries,
it’s a strategic tool, while up north on lakes like Champlain, it’ll be my go-to, matching the forage size
perfectly.”

Designed for a medium-slow to medium-fast retrieve, the MAGDRAFT 5IN generates intense vibrations,
sending a compelling underwater signal that triggers aggressive strikes. Featuring a subtly redesigned and
reinforced internal harness, this upgraded model is built to battle fish well outside its weight class,
ensuring durability and peak performance.

A standout feature is the enhanced MAG-HOLD SYSTEM,
which enhances magnet durability and secures the treble hook neatly alongside the belly. This innovation
reduces drag, streamlines action, and conceals the hook for a more natural, stealthy presentation—fooling
even the most cautious predators.

Available in 19 stunning colorways, the MAGDRAFT 5IN allows anglers to confidently match any
fishing condition. The MAGDRAFT 5IN is available now at authorized Megabass retailers. For more
