Default X-rap

What in your opinions have been the best presentation with the "suspending" X-rap? I read somewhere in here that you guys like to work them hard and fast.

mine is olive on silver w/ some suspendots at the front to make it sink really slowly for the prespawn at Kentucky lake. keeps the bait nose-down, more like a natural minnow feeding on the rocks or decending to the bottom.

I always try different things if one isn't working.

I will use anything that works rotfl. I really "used" to dead stick them up north, and I mean deadstick for a minute. So anything that the fish want is what you gotta figure out. It seems like it's different everytime out. Some variables remain constant(the fish are there), some don't)they won't bite a dang thing today). If it isn't working, try a FLUKE .

Hi Bass Kicker,

Does X-rap work on pike fishing? I never try it when I look for pike.

Any way, just one more week to wait!
