nice video man I was interested in all three of those baits. just bought a few more myself, but after watching this i think i'm going to need that magdraft!
Man, I used to be a big swimbaiter. It was my number one bait, but I lost it and unfortunuatly it has been discontinued. The action was the best looking lure I owned. It was the Kennen aquarelic. Now my swimbait of choice is the old model of the river2sea rig walker. I am still pretty new, and I live in wisconsin so some of those huge swimbaits are out of the picture for me. Im thinking of picking up the first river2sea. Thanks for the advice :) I also have the Sebile Magic Swimmer and I love it.
Thank you!!! You gave me exactly what I was looking to hear. I was on the fence with the s waver because I don't have a dedicated swim rod. Keep them tips coming.
Bro killer choices!! Update guys GO BUY a Baitsanity Explorer Gill!! They are absolutely amazing glidebaits! About $60 and weigh 3oz! They absolutely smash Bass!!!
Alex Rudd Fishing my buddy and his friend absolutely murdered them on Watauga with the 7 inch boom shad in trout color. I mean 7 lb and better large mouth.
Cool video Alex! I actually just bought two of the 3 baits you mentioned. I'm interested in the mag draft but was wondering if there are injuries to the gills due to the location of the treble hook? Thanks! Merry Christmas!
I want to try a swim bait, but don’t know what would be a good color. I live in Greenville South Carolina and was wondering what color would you recommend for water in that area with the River2Sea swimbait?
What started swimbait rod would you recommend? What swimbait rod are you thinking of buying? Thank you for the video, glad I just bought an s-waver. Can't wait to catch a fish on it! Tight lines!
Alex Rudd Fishing Dood great choice Alex! I recently swooped the 8' xhvy it's rated 3 to 10 ounce baits, so far I've throw an 8in Hudd, S waver168 and 200, Savage gear line thru trout 8in, and a Spro BBZ1 8in slow sink, and it's been wonderful, Diawa makes great products and for $110.00 retail it's a great stick. Good choice my man
Bought my first big swimbait a couple weeks back, first time I brought it out I was on Melton and a giant musky broke it off. Do you use a wire leader and lighter line or heavy line and no leader? I upgraded to 65lb braid but I’m still not trying to lose another $30.
That sucks. That's also why I don't throw them around musky lol unless I'm targeting them. You can use a steel leader if you want. It will hamper the action though. I usually throw just straight 25lb pline voltage. I've landed several musky with that. They will cut braid like a hot knife through butter.
I’ve landed them on 20lb braid but somehow broke off 40. I wouldn’t say we’re targeting them but Melton is full of them, I’m also not going to beat it off with a stick. Basically we’re bass fishing but don’t mind them biting.
@@sueyeet6900 for sure! I love catching them. I just know when I'm tossing my big stuff in the Hill I've got a chance there's going to be one take a swing.
Alex Rudd Fishing I'm pulling your chain, just got the 13 fishing defy swimbait heavy rod and a Lew's super duty wide spool. ready for this ice to go away
Alex... I heard you say really good things about the P-Line CXX in one of Ben's live streams and I started using it last month. I won't go back to anything else... I'm now getting into the swim bait game, after watching some TANKS follow my partner's Twitch 'N Ninja back to the boat last weekend. Do you use straight CXX or do you use a heavier braid with the CXX as a leader? Also, I've heard others swear by using a lighter leader, in the 15 lb. range... for the purpose of getting more side to side (Like on an S-Waver) than they would with heavier line. Would you agree with that?
@@AlexRuddFishing thanks Im just getting into swimbaits. Magdraft then next week the Jackal Gantrel. Thanks for the help. Its really cool you responded.
two different actions in soft baits. the mag draft is going to be used at a faster pace throughout the water column with a body rocking back and forth action. where as the hudd is going to offer slower more subtle swim with just side to side tail kick. more often then not bouncing on the bottom. not to say you cant swim it faster in warmer water cuz you can but its a more subdued swim. The MagSlowl is the magdrafts little brother and can be reeled slower and all of the action is in its tail with not as much roll in the body. Great in the paddle tail category for colder slower moving fish or smallies.
Exactly! Great explanation man. It's just crazy I can not get my fish to eat a Hud I've thrown and thrown it. My fish just don't react well to it. Only thing I've ever got to commit is a big walleye lol.
Very nice options dude. Picking a new swimbait is always intimidating. Keep up the good work.
nice video man I was interested in all three of those baits. just bought a few more myself, but after watching this i think i'm going to need that magdraft!
618 Fishing for sure the mag draft is a killer! Thanks for watching.
618 Fishing I watched your swimbait video the day it came out good to see someone im a fan of beginning swimbait fishing about the same time as mr
looks like some awesome swimbaits i will definitely have to try them out

Thank you this will be my first 2018 swimbait fishing I'm a big bass fishermen. Your videos are great
All Great Baits!!!! Great Info I use all of them like the 6 inch mag slo as well Cheers!! :))
hey alex are you using the cannon rebel t4i still to shoot these vids? i want to purchase my first DSLR how do you like it?
The Bass Guy yes I love it man. It's a great camera with a lot of options.
Thank you!!! You gave me exactly what I was looking to hear. I was on the fence with the s waver because I don't have a dedicated swim rod. Keep them tips coming.
Nique I’m glad you enjoyed it and it helped!
Bro killer choices!! Update guys GO BUY a Baitsanity Explorer Gill!! They are absolutely amazing glidebaits! About $60 and weigh 3oz! They absolutely smash Bass!!!
Love all your content!!! What rod do you recommend for 2oz lures like gantarell?
You should check out the 3:16 rising son, it's like the magdraft but with a line-thru design
look into the savage gear bluegill!!!
Great video i definitely want to thrown swimbaits more.
You should talk about the little Creeper swim baits they are really awesome and affordable
I don't talk about things I don't have to experience with.
Great video I've been throwing the major league lures 7 inch boom shad and the 5 inch and they seem to work very good.
johnnyjobe I'll have to check them out!
Alex Rudd Fishing my buddy and his friend absolutely murdered them on Watauga with the 7 inch boom shad in trout color. I mean 7 lb and better large mouth.
I love swimbaits!
Great tips bro....
Thanks for beginner options!
Just subbed!
Cool video Alex! I actually just bought two of the 3 baits you mentioned. I'm interested in the mag draft but was wondering if there are injuries to the gills due to the location of the treble hook? Thanks! Merry Christmas!
Victor Xavier for me it's always just hooked them in the hard part of the mouth. I would t say it's any worse than any other trebles hooked bait.
new sub here good video bud ! my first swim bait fish was on the gantarell jr
Thanks for the tips man

Nice vid man, good selection
great video buddy
After watching this, I'm gonna need a mag draft in my life lol.
This vid was helpful, thanks
Great info thanks
I actually ordered the river 2 sea lure comes in tomorrow
What started swimbait rod would you recommend? What swimbait rod are you thinking of buying? Thank you for the video, glad I just bought an s-waver. Can't wait to catch a fish on it! Tight lines!
CatinMoon I am getting a Diawa DX 8' H. I've done a lot of research and comparing and I feel like this one is the best for your money.

What its your favorite swimbait for smallies i just start on the swimbait game and i will love to keep this game thanks nice videos
Viciosa Pelaez I've caught a bunch on the 6' magdraft. My smallies just follow the bigger stuff.
Alex Rudd Fishing 6 foot? what kind of rod do you use for that
6 inches. I use a 8ft XH Daiwa DX swimbait rod
Alex Rudd Fishing I'm pulling your chain, just got the 13 fishing defy swimbait heavy rod and a Lew's super duty wide spool. ready for this ice to go away
Oh gotcha lol I've got questions like that before so I didn't know. That's sounds like a awesome combo man!
Great vid
What line do you recommend for trying these baits? mono, fluoro, braid, braid with leader?
The Shorebound Angler I use 20-25 pline cxx
Alex... I heard you say really good things about the P-Line CXX in one of Ben's live streams and I started using it last month. I won't go back to anything else... I'm now getting into the swim bait game, after watching some TANKS follow my partner's Twitch 'N Ninja back to the boat last weekend.

Would you agree with that?
I use straight 20lb CXX. I've tried lighter line and I personally have never seen a difference in the action.
Perfect... thanks.
savage gear 3d swimming glide or bps glider
Im fishing the resaviors in Maryland. Whad size magdraft would be ideal? And color?
I would go 8" in white back shad. Those fish up there will eat something big just like my fish will.
@@AlexRuddFishing thanks Im just getting into swimbaits. Magdraft then next week the Jackal Gantrel. Thanks for the help. Its really cool you responded.
@@johngutkoska4240 no problem man! I'm just a normal dude who loves fishing and sharing my experiences!
My gants hooks bent out and dulled out:( completely my fault though.
So you are not going to mention a Huddleston?
I'm not. Never had any success on one unless you count catching walleye. It's just not as of effective bait in my waters.
@@AlexRuddFishing lol I’m just like you just cause I’ve never caught a fish on a buzzbait makes me hate it
What about the Huddleston? Or is that too similar to the mag draft.
H2o Fishing wouldn't say they are that similar, but I prefer the magdraft in the soft body paddle tail category.
Alex Rudd Fishing ok, thanks

I'm so new I just watched this technique, but have you tried the Butch Brown rigging with the Hud? ua-cam.com/video/453ZUor4jI0/v-deo.html
Bullshad?
Brayden Richardson great bait the price tag is a little steep for this list.
Alex Rudd Fishing that's what I figured
The Spro bbz shad is like 25 bucks and is pretty nice
Hud 68 special
Josh Kendrick yes great swimbait.
Josh Kendrick Savage gear line thru trout is a good cheaper option too
what swimbait would you saw is the number one swimbait for beginners
Connor Dimmer the Magdraft is prob the most versatile and straight forward.
what size would you recommend
Connor Dimmer 6 or 8 are both great.
thanks a lot man
lol I just keep watching your videos, only complaint? You need an intro!!
