The Megabass Magdraft Swimbait Lure 5 Inch is a compact powerhouse designed to target aggressive inshore and freshwater predators with precision and finesse. Weighing 3/4oz, this premium soft plastic swimbait offers the same elite performance as its larger sibling—now in a more versatile, downsized profile that excels when fish are pressured or feeding on smaller baitfish.

Built with the patented Maghold System, the 5-inch Magdraft features a magnetised belly treble hook that sits flush against the body, maintaining a realistic silhouette and reducing drag during retrieve. Combined with a hard-thumping paddle tail, the Magdraft creates an irresistible swimming action that mimics a wounded baitfish, drawing reaction strikes from wary or inactive fish.

The stabilising side fins double as subtle weed guards, allowing you to confidently cast through timber, weed beds, and submerged structure without compromising action. Thanks to its wire-through internal harness, this swimbait is ready to handle brutal strikes from hard-fighting species such as barramundi, mulloway, Murray cod, and XL flathead.

Perfect for estuaries, rivers, and impoundments, the 5-inch Magdraft is your go-to when precision casting, controlled presentations, and high hook-up rates are essential.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: How does the 5-inch Magdraft differ from the 6-inch version?
A: The 5-inch is lighter (3/4oz) and better suited for finesse presentations or when fish are feeding on smaller bait. It offers the same Maghold system and paddle tail action in a more compact form.

Q: What species can I target with the 5-inch version?
A: Ideal for barramundi, flathead, Murray cod, mulloway, trevally, and other estuary and impoundment predators.

Q: Can I fish the 5-inch Magdraft around weed and structure?
A: Yes. The stabilising fins help deflect weed and maintain a natural swimming posture through structure-heavy areas.

Q: What rod and reel setup is recommended?
A: A medium to medium-heavy baitcast or spin combo paired with 16–25lb braid and a 20–40lb fluorocarbon leader works well depending on target species and terrain.
