I absolutely love my silver xrap. I've been throwing it for about 2 months and have managed to get at least a dink or two on it every time out. Also got a couple 2-3#ers on it as well. Its a great lure.

ya need to work the x-rap differantly then the rouge..rouges like small light twitches as do lucky craft. get your arm in gear and stomp on the gas son... hard and fast don't worry you will know it when they tag it..

Senko, I am a big fan of the DT cranks. Because I usually fish smaller lakes, I usually throw a DT-4 or DT-6. My favorite colors are shad and bluegill (Bluegill seems to do better on a sunny evening). Anyway, I think you will be happy with your DT crankbait.

LOL Funny you should mention this zook ole buddy. I was throwing the new xrap after reading all yoall's posts about how good these are. Well I was working her kinda slow and lazy. Got a bunch of lookers and seen nothing but there tails as they followed it to the boat. Hmmmmm what was I doing wrong I thought. Ok switch it up. Put the bait on my new quantum pt.....yes I said quantum....and really put on the speed. Man as much difference as day and night. Caught 14 in the next hour and a half. No bigguns yet but at least finally found some fish for the tourney. Now if the damn corp of engineers would leave the water level alone.
