AlpacaWrangler Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Happy Monday SU, What actions do you guys prefer for the 8 inch Magdarft? Trying to wrap my head around if it is a soft bait or a treble hook bait... Thanks so much, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SolitudeX Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 Dobyns 795 is absolutely perfect for the 8" Magdraft. Dink whisperer 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SwingAway Posted October 24, 2022 Report Share Posted October 24, 2022 (edited) I really like my irod jr. Swim with 8 inchers. The mod-fast action seemsike the right compromise for the single soft body treble that kind of requires more of a sturdy hook set than a regular hard body, double treble hookset. At 3 oz. I also think the 8 inch is right in the sweet spot for the Jr. Swim rating. Edited October 24, 2022 by SwingAway BoatSquirrel 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bassmann86 Posted October 25, 2022 Report Share Posted October 25, 2022 Personally I would toss that bait on my Kaimana 794 or Omega H with braid to leader. I would treat it like a hardbait because of the treble hook. Either rod has enough power to drive home a 1/0-2/0 owner st-36 w/out issues. It’s not like you are trying to slam home a 10/0 or 12/0 beast hook. jbernaeyge and Dink whisperer 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've just always had trouble thinking of it as a hardbait treble type bait or hookset due to the nature of how the hook is secured (despite the smaller diameter treble hook). Ive always kind of thought more of an inverted frog hook. Hard for me to think this wouldn't want a little more ummfff... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
