Been having pretty good luck using a 5” mega Bass Spark Shad. Love the action it gives with an extremely slow retrieve. However, I don’t find the lures very durable.

Any other weedless options that give similar swimming actions?

If it's the nose try a drop of super glue after it's torn up and you can get more life out of it.

I have magdraft free styles, 3:16 weedless rising son's and several in the smashtech line up, and weedless Hudd 68's. I like them all.

I was swimming a single tail grub years before the realistic swimbaits became available. My fav is the Kalin - lots of sizes up to 8 inches. I know lots of guys like the GYB 5' single tail grub, but you still have the durability factor.

Hard to beat the Megabass Magdraft Freestyles.

I like the smashtech lineup. Two of my favorites are Poacher and Little Poacher.

The Smashtech are the best I have used for both effectiveness and durability. I've caught 10+ on a single hollow body. The other weedless baits are also kick butt.

Smash Tech

Try a Double Z Lures Swayback Swimmer on a 3/16 oz Lazyman 5/0 swimbait hook w/ a Colorado blade.

Consider a Keitech Fat Swing Impact 7.8 with a Beast 10/0 underspin.

I'm gonna try the GOAT by gambler when they make the color I want. Otherwise i use phenix

I wish smashtech would make some 6” and 7” hollow bellys available again!. I could catch several fish on those they were very durable with the side to side action and a nice tail kick.

Thanks everyone for throwing our name in the mix. We have several weedless options to choose from. If you have any questions feel free to reach out.



There are some 6" on the website currently and you can also get them from Tackle Warehouse. Thanks!

Most of these recommendations are significantly larger than what you're currently fishing. If you like the spark shad size but are having durability issues, I would consider a Reaction Innovations Skinny Dipper. I've caught a lot of nice fish on these. They also double up nicely as swim jig and bladed jig trailers.

I said hollow belly (not body) you called them head smasher and they are not on your site anymore! I don’t care for any of the hollow body’s. But please let us know if you ever have them again! Thanks for the response!
