Overview
Designed and tested by Bassmaster Opens champion, Ben Milliken, along with the 6th Sense team, the 6th Sense Hangover Swimbait was built to be the best line-through swimbait on the market. Engineered with 3 different internal weight variations (slow sink, medium sink, and fast sink), the 6th Sense Hangover Swimbaits allows anglers to tempt fish throughout a wide range of depths.
Uniquely positioned behind the head of the Hangover, the internal weight system, along with the rigged paddle tail, gives this swimbait excessive wobble. The riding top treble hook lets the bait run freely and makes it more efficient to fish around and over the top of cover. Don’t worry, they strategically input an eyelet on the belly so you can add another treble hook if you prefer. 6th Sense specifically designed the soft plastic consistency of this bait to give you the best of both worlds, soft enough to allow maximum movement, while durable enough to last. Boasting some of the most realistic paint schemes on the market, along with the 3D eyes, the 6th Sense Hangover Swimbait is sure to give big bass a headache when they overindulge.

JunkThis thing swims like the lure has a hangover. I guess they got the name right. This lure spins as you retrieve it in. It will swim some what decent if your using a 10:1 reel burning it. Over all is junk, Bad Bait Ben.
fast sink reviewwas planning on using this bait or snook and striped bass, through It once and immediately noticed poor swimming. leans to one side or another and is very hard to fish. action is not consistent no matter the retrieve.
Works great!Have had these since they first dropped. Let them air out to get rid of the smell for a few days, and they work great. Yes there is a reel cadence you have to have with each sink rate. Once you figure that out, they work excellent. Please never stop making this bait 6th sense.!!!
Worst bait everIt swims like trash, eyes fall off so fast, overkill split ring horrible quality control subpar line through system that frays lines and uneven pour, swam horrible on every retrieve but super fast. I ended up taking the line through system out filling the gap with plastic and using it as a bottom bouncing bait on a ewg and works pretty bad but better then its action.
Hangover ReviewI think the guys that write a negative review are genuinely clueless. The medium and fast sink may be the most lethal line thru ever made. I have not fished the slow sink and don't intend to because I'm not patient enough to sink a slow bait down to where the giants live.
Works greatNo problems. It doesn’t roll like other comments say.
Overall poor performance swimbait6th sense pushed out a bad product . Will it catch fish yes. Is it hard to fish yes. Are there better choices yes. Are there swimbaits that are of equal or cheaper expensive wise available yes
I will not purchase another one.
I wish I could use this baitI'm a big fan of Milliken. Less so of 6th sense products. This bait is frustrating because when it swims right it's absolutely awesome looking but 100 feet away from me I am totally confident that I have no idea what it's doing underwater.
Basically a mistake but I'm sure it works because I've seen it work. Just never for me
Review of The Sixth Sense Hangover 6.5 SwimbaAs an experienced angler who regularly utilizes the Megabass Mag Draft and the new Bass Mafia Dangerous swim baits, I approached the Sixth Sense Hangover 6.5 with high expectations. However, my experience with this swimbait has been less than satisfactory.
During a 45-minute session off my dock, I attempted to tune the Hangover 6.5 to achieve optimal performance. Despite my efforts, the bait proved to be excessively finicky. While I managed to get it running reasonably well for a brief period, it consistently started misbehaving after only three casts.
In conclusion, the Sixth Sense Hangover 6.5 swimbait does not meet the reliability standards expected of high-quality fishing lures. Its performance instability is a significant drawback, making it a less desirable choice for serious anglers like my self.
I dont get it!!Bought a couple of these a few months ago and just this past weekend tried one..Its got a certain speed to slow nope to fast nope right speed this thing swims awesome!!!...I personally am not understanding all the negative feedback..
Waste of MoneyI have spent hours trying to figure out how to make this slow fall bait run normal and catch fish and it won’t… reel faster so it looks normal and it spins a rolls over and over, reel it slow and it does all kinda weird stuff that is totally unnatural... I love the color and realness but I will just throw the rising son it runs out of the box and catches fish. I just can’t believe 6th let this thing get to market…
Absolute junkFor 20 bucks I would think that a bait should run out of the package. No big deal some need tweaking. This thing is a dumpster fire. No Retrieve speed will change this bait from doing anything but rolling over and over. Very disappointed.
Awesome bait that takes skillBen should have put an expert label on this bait. Jezz the complaining. Some people just don't know what their doing and love to bi#ch. I love the heavy weight version for most of where I fish and the light for skinny sight fishing. The heavy works great as a musky lure as well. Just tie your own 12" bite wire leader the bait can slide on. If you having issues with rollover look into tungsten screw-in weights as training wheels till you figure out what your doing. Well done Ben!
Good enoughJust fished this bait for multiple day trip. It definitely has room for improvement but I smashed em on it. Caught multiple 23-27 lb bags fishing rock in 8 to 15 ft with fast sink. I found if I reels as fast as I could while still making contact with bottom they ate it. When you reel the bait in it swims upside down. It’s very unstable at most speeds. I don’t know what it looked like when I was fishing it, but I know they were thumping it. I definitely think they could make a couple tweets to improve the bait, but the fast sink is worth buying and fishing as is
JUNK SWIMBAITI have a pool and a Boat and I got 2 med sink and tried different ratio reels and it’s junk!!! It’s way to touchy to get speed right.
Love the baitI have purchased more. I like the bait. It has to be rigged right. Rod, line and speed retrieval. You guys keep hating on it!
It catches fish! Why would anyone say 6th sense should be sued? To much bashing.
I fell for the HYPE!I purchased 10 on the day they dropped from 6th Sense. All different sink rates. The slow sink is absolute trash and should be recalled. The medium sink is still trash but will swim if you keep adjusting your retrieve rate and watch the bait constantly. The fast sink is the only one that is not trash but still not great. It is more forgiving if your retrieve speed is off a little. I returned all of them back to 6th sense for a full refund. There should be a lawsuit against 6th sense.
TerribleAs most of the other reviews say, it does not swim right. I shouldn’t have to make modifications to a bait for it to work out of the package. Don’t listen to the sycophants. It rolls over and on a free fall it does this unnatural rock and spin down. 6th sense needs to pull it together.
4lb’r on 7th cast!I can’t give this less than 5 stars. Went to a local high pressured pond on 1/22, with a 30min window and on the 7th cast hooked up with a 4lb’r. Yes, it had a loud smell but that didn’t seem to matter. Had to swim it a few times to find the sweet spot and pow pow. I have the SS version.
What’s with the hate?Yes this bait smelled terrible out of the package but man. This thing catches them! I got a few different colors in slow sink and they have been absolute dynamite for me this winter. Action is super weird but can’t knock its ability to produce a bite.
Don’t knock it till you try it.
REMAKE THIS BAITVery good idea, but the swim n action of this lure needs to be redesigned. 6th away have good product but yall drop the ball on this bait.
Absolutely horribleWhat more is there to say? There's plenty of reviews saying exactly the truth! It's just flat out awful and smells worse than Walter whites trailer fresh out the plastic! I'd pay to see the place that's making these.. because I can promise you it's worth seeing if you have a Military Issued Respirator to avoid the smell that encased both my nostrils seconds after opening this... thing..
Look elsewhere or stick with magdraft
This is Equal To YouTubers Promoting CryptocuBasically a clorox smelling trashcan bait. I'm honestly starting to believe this is the bass fishing industry equivalent of YouTubers promoting crypto to build hype and then dump all their crypto holdings when the hype is at a certain point. Bc I cannot see a world where this bait is tied on anyone's deck if they've seen how bad it swims prior to that day
Blows out, rolls over, you'll spend more time watching/reeling it in to find that perfect retrieve Ben talks about! However in reality he never found the right retrieve bc it doesn't exist! Watch it closely and in his video you can clearly see if rolling and blowing out but camera angle negates it to some extent!
Stop falling for promotion baits, you really think an elite series rookie is going to release a bait with that Juice he talks about right before the elite series open?.. might as well just donated money towards the bass cat and grindy sand filled never oiled reels that ppl watching have to hear every few days versus buying a product that is clearly not usable!
Do yourself a favor and buy a Optimum baits boom boom line thru, they are exactly what you wish this bait did and that body roll/tail thump is incredible! huge L for the 6thsense crew! And sadly everyone who spent money on it
What a disappointmentI don’t what else to say other than what a hunk of junk. My flip flop has better action than this mess.
Wow a bait from 6th Sense that doesn't workThese swimbaits are terrible. (PERIOD). You can watch Ben and his videos explain how they don't swim right. You literally have to see the bait in the water to know if your retrieve is to fast or to slow. The bait has a terrible fall, when you reel it in, it wants to turn over, you have to play with the retrieve speed so much to figure out what works best. At this point I will never buy another 6th sense bait. The panorama is another terrible bait they made. Don't waste your money on this when there are literally dozens of other line through baits that work just fine.
Pretty.. Pretty badIt just simply does not work. I have watched Bens hour long video on this bait and that changed nothing. I got the fast sink thinking I could slow roll it over bottom but its just not possible. Any slight disturbance, any miniscule cadence change, or if the wind blows the bait immediately rolls over. It also smells like a Clorox factory. Either his bait was extremely poorly designed and pushed out for marketing and money or the 1st batch needs to be recalled and corrected.
Pretty good swimbaitI purchased 2 of each weighted baits and I was impressed. Took it to the lake by the house and 3rd cast caught a 5lber. On the Medium sink. I Have figured out that a slow gear retrieve is best for this bait and I would recommend taking the split ring off as well. I was using a 7:1 BB1 and switched to a 6:2-1 BB1Pro and had better action.
Over Hyped UNDER DELIVERED6th Sense Fishing got me with this one. After seeing all the hype with Ben's giant fish catches, I felt like this was going to take me to the next level for big fish. It took me to the cleaners. The bait helicopter when on a dead drop and sinking thru the water column. Next, at slow speeds it's hands down the worst swimming action out there. They are over produced, over hyped and practically worthless. Not to mention they smell horrible. I would NOT recommend purchasing this bass fishing bait.
UGGAre we really to the point where marketing can sell anything? TERRIBLE bait, I would give it 0 starts if could.
Terrible baitThis swimbait can’t even do the basics. It can’t swim at slow speeds. They really screwed up with this bait. Thought it was hook placement but you basically have to burn it to get a straight swim where it doesn’t roll over.
Terrible action on the fall and slow rollI was very excited to get my hands on these swimbaits, so I ordered one of each slow, medium, fast sink versions and the action on all three are absolutely horrible. The bait does not look realistic at all unless you reel as fast as you can also takes a while to start up not what you want or expect from a swimbait. Don’t get me wrong this love 6th sense lures and use many of them but this one was an epic fail do not buy!!!
Watch Ben's Youtube Instructional videoBefore you come on here and give all of these bad reviews, you first need to watch the instructional video on how to use this bait. Ben explains the bad action and how to make it look really good. He will be using this bait to catch big one's on tour this year while ya'll are on here talking about how it's trash lol
6th Sense you got meThis swimbait is garbage. I bought 3 of these and they don't swim right at all. I won't be buying any more 6th sense products.....what a scam.
terribleI was excited seeing all the big bass caught on this bait by the maker, but when I started using it man I wish I went with something else. It doesn't stay true and rolls left, right or just torpedo's. I followed the instructional video to the T.
Very Poor Swim At Slow SpeedBought this bait in fast and medium sink rate. I was surprised how finicky the retrieval rate has to be to make this thing swim right. I like to slow crawl a bait on the bottom and there is no way with this thing! I might try boiling it?? I give it a 3 out of 5.
Good Marketing - Poor PerformanceI bought in on the marketing push for this bait and bought them in all sink rates. I waited until I used all three types before I felt compelled to leave a review. This really is a trash bait. Once you find that "correct" retrieve speed you find that it is a one trick pony. It will catch fish, (a banjo minnow will too) but it's uses are so limited it's laughable. This was a poor attempt to knock off proven baits.
Mostly hypeBought 1 of each sink rate to try out. It's a pretty big profile bait. At least compared to magdraft. I have only tried the med so far. It definitely has a certain speed you need to reel it or it does this weird death wobble thing and aint gonna get bit. I do wish it could be reeled slower and still have action. Problem with this bait slow is that it has too much action. Maybe the heavy would be more stable. It's very unstable and rolls around. It will catch fish and looks good but it isn't magic.
The Hangover is trash..I had high hopes for this swimbait. It doesn't stay true, rolls over too much and the quality of material used is very weak. It's already falling apart
PHENOMENAL SWIMBAITSuper impressed. Got my shipment in and caught a 8lber on my 5th or so cast. Ended the day with over 32lbs, best 5 and every one came on the Slow Sink in Gizzard. You have to get your retrieve speed right and once you do, the bait catches em. You gotta know Swimbaits to use this thing because cadence is everything.
Nice swimsuitHaven't tried the medium or slow sink yet but the fast sink has a very nice swim. Yes, it has one swim speed! Can't go to slow or fast but a lot of swimbaits are like that just like the Magdraft. Overall the design and colors are awesome!!!
Blew outLike the other guy said… The slow sink spirals and swims like crap. You have to burn it in like a mad man just under the surface in order to make it swim somewhat good. It’s a miss for me.
Slow sink blow out and rollProduct is terrible. The slow sink just blows out and rolls the fast sink works good. I bought a few on the drop hoping they would do good. Very disappointed in the slow sinks.
4 pounder on the 13th cast.I’m a pond guy and ordered all five of mine in the slow sink. Took me a quick 20 min to knock down a 4lb bass and back home for Cowboy kickoff. Yes you need to dial the swim speed and reel retrieve in, it’s not hard and def not a burn. I had no prob, but get the med or fast sink if you want to crawl it. Don’t sleep on this one, it’s a winner!
As expectedThe bait performed exactly how the CREATOR said it would. After watching the CREATOR explain the bait and how to work it, all sink rates work as intended. Very impressive head movement. Good job 6.
