I could not believe the action on these lures. I used them trout fishing in the river.

Rated 5 out of 5 by gubahead Good action
Water was too cold and or i wasn't in the right place, so i can't say i caught fish with it, but this lure looked great in the water. I switched out the lousy hooks that come with it but other than that I'm sure it will produce.Great looking and great action for the price.

This little lure catches bass!!
It's a light lure so I use a 7' rod with a spinning reel with a ligt line so I cast it to the banks or shallow and the bass eat em up .
you're NOT guaranteed to hook up with a monster but you are guranteed to catch bass.

A:
It depends on where you are at and what time of year and the weather conditions are. Where I am in the smaller reservoirs, they like gold and black back or chrome and black back.. In the bigger lakes they tend to like the ghost colors and shad colors. These speed minnows are ok for the price, but I like the BPS pro minnows the best. hope this helps!A:
GoldA:
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

A:
This and rainbow color are what I catch brookies and browns with in Virginia. I wouldn't want anything larger for trout.A:
1 5/8. I love the rainbow trout pattern for troutA:
rainbow- 3 1/8"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:

??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

Yes it is !
Top 1000 Contributor
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

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 )

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:
has s.s split rings
Top 250 Contributor
A:
You will need a small split ring (like the one that is usually on car keys but LOTS smaller). There are split ring pliers that you can get to open the split rings because it is almost impossible to get them open with your fingers. Then just attach the hook and the lure to the split ring and you're done.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 well
