and another question:what do you think is THE VERY BEST minnow lure for bass?
Answers
A:
Gold
A:
Depends on the light conditions of the day. For partly sunning to bright sun, I have found the Chartruse(yellow)/silverto work best. On more overcast (low light day) Black/Gold or Purple/silver.
It goes to the general rule of light conditions use light lures;darker use darker colors
Answers
A:
Same for Bass Chratruse/Silver Bright days. Black/Gold for darker days. I have read and experienced that fish rarely if ever have a real preference for color. Rather, light conditions make a certian color more visible than others at certain water depths.A:
the size depends on the clarity of the water, and time of the year. Till the end of July, I would use 2" or 3". Color, again, always have a burnt red with black ribs, medium green top,pearl sides and hot pink belly.A:
The rainbow trout colorDetails:
??Answers
A:
Not really. If you cast it softly, a brand new one fished on #2 o#4 test will float. Once you begin your retrieve, it wil sink to 18-24". The depth and thightness of the action can be adjusted, as with any crank bait, by ever so slightly bending the "eye" on the front of the lure. For these, very slight pressure from your thumb is all it takes. You can also adjust the dept by tieing on with a snap swivel or by adding a few coils of wire to the hook shafts. As you use this lure, slight amounts of water enter it and a well used one will no longer floatA:
it does float, takes about 15 seconds after you stop reeling for it to pop back up to the top.A:

Sure does. The lighter ones will work about 6 inches more shallow that the bigger ones. But both float, when your not working them of course.Answers

A:
Yes, the lure is made in China. But, while I do prefer buying American made products, the lure works very well. It has a very aggressive action that big fish like! The hooks that come on the XPS lure are not very strong however. I change them to stronger(American Made) treble hooks!Images for this Answer

A:
I have no Muskies where I fish. I have had their close realtive, Northern Pike take it. The color should be selected on light conditions at the time.A:
yes I use bass minnow style.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Yes, Muskie will hit very well on nearly all the XPS / XTS lures (as will Pike). The best way to determine what color is best, is to try several different ones in different light conditions (cloudy, sunny, dawn, dusk, etc.). You will quickly find out which work best and when.A:
A 4" would be my choice, but look at the food source. My choice for color is gold/black back. ( Good luck )

A:
yes, color depending on conditions clear murky stained etc I prefer chrome black back, and the red yellow orange looking one and light blue and white oneDetails:
how wou;ld you go upon fixing a broke hookAnswers
A:
change it with a crank bait repair kit....A:
Exact size is not critical as long as the replacement is not so large that it fouls the other hook. Experiment with slightly larger hooks and you can get this lure to sink more. Always use a pair of split ring pliers. The tool makes the process quick and safe.A:
You need split ring pliers. Then match the hook size is different for each lure. The middle size 1/4 oz (3 inch?) is about a size 8 hook. Four inch size is size 6.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Hook size is 8 on the 2 1/2" lure and size 6 on the larger one. If any of the hooks break, simply buy treble hooks at the tackle shop and install them. In fact, I replace the hooks on all XPS lures before I use them. They are much to soft and weak for any larger fish.
Top 100 Contributor
A:
buy replacement treble hooks and replace it. also, check out the split ring too, that may need replaced as wellDetails:

A:
can't tell the best from the pics. looks a little like a silver carp. depending on where you caught it and from what body of water, it could also be a golden shiner.
Top 50 Contributor
A:
okay, you caught a full grown batfish... it happens. Years ago I caught a foot-long skipjack herring in a lake in Oklahoma. Stripers love em!Details:
pike or big bass? from your experince what have you caught on this jerk bait.Answers
A:
I have done both, pike and muskie in MN. Large mouth bass, spotted bass, strippers, in GA.A:
It is a great bait for shallow water and I have had the best success just cranking it in instead of jerking it.A:
It's probably better for pike since a big bass would bend the hooks. If you realy want to get big ones change the hooks.A:
Pike for sure. Pike like the weeds. This will troll from about 2-5ft. Troll just above the weeds and hang on...A:
I have only caught bass on these. I've trolled them a little with no luck on anything but bass..good fishin!
Top 10 Contributor
A:
Well from expereience this is better for big bass my biggest with this is about 4 1/2 lbs. But I have caught largemouth smallmouth rock bass trout crappie bluegill shiners chubs and even a shad. Basically everything in my area/range except a carp and catfish
