Megabass MAG DRAFT AYU TWITCHER Soft Swimbait - 18 cm

Key features

The Megabass Mag Draft Ayu Twitcher is a soft swimbait designed to entice wary freshwater predators. Its two-part segmented body produces a smooth, wide and highly realistic swimming action that faithfully imitates the movement of an injured baitfish. Every detail has been engineered to trigger strikes from pike, zander, perch or largemouth bass, even in heavily fished areas.

Equipped with the exclusive MAGHOLD system, this swimbait keeps the treble hook secured against the belly with an integrated magnet. This design significantly improves lure presentation by making it more discreet while reducing snags in weed and around obstacles. The result: a cleaner, more natural swim and better hook-up efficiency when fish strike.

When retrieved steadily, the Mag Draft Ayu Twitcher develops a very broad S‑swim that remains stable at different retrieve speeds. A quick turn of the reel instantly simulates a fleeing prey, while a slow presentation fully exploits its natural rolling and undulating action.

Benefits and strengths

The main advantage of the Mag Draft Ayu Twitcher is its ability to convince educated fish. Its natural silhouette combined with a wide, steady S‑swim makes it an effective prospecting lure for covering large areas while maintaining strong selectivity for big specimens.

The MAGHOLD system provides a real technical edge: by keeping the hook close to the body it limits unwanted turbulence and reduces the chance of picking up debris, weeds or suspended particles. This increased discreteness allows the lure to blend into the environment, reassuring predators and triggering decisive strikes.

Its versatility also makes it a valuable ally for the modern angler. Whether you choose a slow retrieve near the bottom, a sustained presentation in open water or a series of twitches to provoke a following fish, the Mag Draft Ayu Twitcher responds instantly to inputs. This responsiveness gives you a wide palette of animations with a single model.

Usage tips

To get the most from this soft swimbait for predators, use a rod rated for medium-sized soft baits, paired with a fine to medium braid and an abrasion-resistant leader. This combination ensures good animation transmission and precise depth control.

When prospecting, start with a steady retrieve to exploit the lure’s natural S‑swim. Then vary speed: pauses, accelerations and some sharp twitches often convince following fish to strike. Don’t hesitate to focus on marked spots such as edges, drop-offs, weedlines or submerged structures where predators like to ambush.

Finally, adapt the color and finish of your Mag Draft Ayu Twitcher to water clarity and light conditions. Natural tones usually work well in clear water, while more contrasting finishes may be preferable in stained water or low light.
