6TH SENSE Draw 6.5 Glide Bait - Wide Gliding Action

In this review of the Draw 6.5, the bottom line is simple: this compact glide bait is built for anglers who want a realistic, slow-sinking swimbait that triggers strikes on smaller forage. Co-designed with Bassmaster Open champion Ben Milliken, the Draw 6.5 delivers an authentic gliding motion and premium finishes that make it a dependable choice for bass fishing in lakes and ponds where a smaller presentation is required. Its ultra-realistic 3D details and swivel hook hangers set it apart from basic lures.

Key Features

• Co-designed with a pro: Collaboration with Ben Milliken means the lure's action and balance are tailored for proven performance on tournament bass water.
• Compact glide profile: The 6.5 size is scaled for smaller forage, making it easier to target bass that ignore larger swimbaits.
• Extremely slow sinking: Weighting keeps the bait in the strike zone and lets anglers work it at a medium retrieve to fish 1-4 ft effectively.
• Wide gliding action: The body shape produces a pronounced side-to-side glide that can also be fast-twitched for a more aggressive presentation.
• Swivel hook hangers: Hook hangers rotate with the fish, reducing leverage and improving hook retention on big strikes.
• Realistic finishes: Premium paint schemes and 3D details increase visual realism and help trigger follows and strikes.

Who It's For

The Draw 6.5 is best for freshwater anglers targeting bass in ponds, lakes, and shallow flats where smaller baitfish are the primary forage. It suits fishermen who want a versatile glide bait that fishes shallow with a controlled medium retrieve and who value realistic finishes and pro-level design input.

Anglers who primarily fish deep structure, heavy current, or need a topwater-only lure should look elsewhere; the Draw 6.5 is optimized for 1-4 ft presentations and slow-sinking straight retrieves rather than deep dives or surface-only walking actions.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Realistic 3D details and premium paint schemes make the bait highly lifelike in the water.
• Swivel hook hangers reduce leverage and help keep fish pinned during the fight.
• Extremely slow sinking design holds the lure in the strike zone for longer retrieves.

Cons

• Designed for 1-4 ft presentations, so it is not ideal when you need a deep-running or surface-only lure.

Frequently Asked Questions

How deep does the Draw 6.5 fish?
The Draw 6.5 is extremely slow sinking and fishes best in about 1-4 ft on a consistent medium retrieve.

Can this bait be worked faster for a different action?

Are the hooks secure on big fish?
Swivel hook hangers allow the hooks to move with the fish, reducing leverage and improving hook retention compared with fixed hangers.
