When bass are active in shallow water, Alton Jones pulls out a Square Bill. Its stubby lip imparts a wild, frantic action at any speed, and keeps the bait from blowing out on a double-quick retrieve. We’re talking controlled mayhem at 0–3 feet, with an uncanny ability to bounce off cover without hanging up. Sporting a pair of super-sharp XCalibur Tx3 inline trebles, the Square Bill is as close to a sure thing as you’ll find!
''Burn an XCalibur Foxy Lady XCS crankbait through rocks and wood and you will know what a reaction bite feels like!''

Rated 5 out of 5 by jzFish Great square bill
Well I am quickly becoming a square bill crank fan. I have used the 1.5 and 2.5 for awhile and always do well with them. I have always changed the hooks on them however. Finally I saw these Xcaliburs and thought well I know I won't have to change the hooks on those. Probably the fifth cast with one of these and it got slammed by a largemouth on a cold/bluebird/windy day. Needless to say I have picked up several more. They have better finishes than strike king, come with an oval split ring, and the hooks are sticky sharp. I haven't lost one yet and bounce them through tons of rocks, laydowns, etc. Great lure.

I started using the craw colors this last year in a tournament on Rend Lake . We were bouncing them off rocks , wood and just ripping them. I have caught hundreds of bass off these lures. I cannot begin to tell you of all the success we have had using these lures. The square bill action drives the bass crazy . It bounces off wood and rocks great with very little snags.

I bought this lure in the 2" size in foxy lady, citrus shad, and pumpkinseed. I've only used it once and I caught a nice largemouth even though there wasn't much of a bite. I plan on getting it in Rayburn red too. Great lure.

A:
I have been using the 100 series and have had great success, but I have recently purchased 5 or 6 in the 200 series. If I catch as many in the 200 series as I have in the 100 series I will be hooked on them as well.

ive caught fish on both large and middle size baits. ive caught more fish on the smaller one. thats because i use it more

A:
It depends on what I want to accomplish. If I'm just looking to quickly boat my limit, or find/stir up a school, I'll throw the 100. If I'm just looking for bites from the big baddies, I'll throw a 200 or 300.A:
I like # 3 round bill & # 5 square bill for Large Mouth Bass & the mini-3 is killer for White Bass & even Crappie.Answers

There are other tackle stores that sell an Excalibur XCS Square Bill SILENT Crankbaits. Does this one rattle? Or, is it silent?Answers
A:
yes the one i have is silent
Top 500 Contributor
A:
They are silent.A:
No it does not rattle but still a amazing lure in my opinion. i bought 19 color and caught a 2pounder about 10th cast!
Top 500 Contributor
A:
for the most part they are silent, bc they are hollow inside...but the wobble is what makes them awesome baits.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
The Xcs series are silent.
A:
No rattles. The XCS 100 is not 2" as listed and is closer to 2 1/2" .Answers

For me, the best colors have been foxy shad, foxy lady and oxbow...but that all depends on local forage.A:
Sexy Shad

A:
I would say 19 and 21 are the best colors for bass. you cant go wrong with those colors...they are naturalA:
my favorite is the foxy lady it swims nce and is like a bass magnet if fished in shallow water that has lots of sunken logA:
shad
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Depending on local forage, the colors I would consider are 45, 59, 61 and 99 if the water is clear. These colors are most natural. If stained to muddy water I would consider 19, 24, and 44. Colors 21 and 43 might work for both conditions. However I must say I have done well with the brighter colors even in clear water at times when the fish were aggressive.Answers
