Default Bought myself an xrap and took her out for a spin

After Kc caught an "8lber" (hulapoprs friend in that one post) i went out and bought an xrap in Silver the smaller version XR08.Relined a spinning outfit with 50lb power and started fishing off the point (a sandbag point that goes out quite a ways) with no luck.Later we went down to the newly renovated boat docks that have lights on at night, fished it for awhile then starting walking out along this floating dock.I saw some water beetles screwing around in the light took a cast at it and gave it 2 hard jerks to get it down a lil went to give it another jerk i felt some weight set the hook and that drag screemed as this fish ran.Put up a good fight lipped the sucker and it was quite a bass 4lbs respectfully he had that xrap deep in the back of his throat it was about 2 am when i caught this fish.Caught a skinnier version of that xrap fish just this night on a T rigged gator tail worm(its like a really exagerated ribbon tail super fat) in red shad on them same docks.If you havnt already, pick yourself up an xrap totally worth the money.Looking forward to buying a digital camera to start posting pictures of these fish.

Hmmmmmmm.....sounds like I might have to invest insome of these xraps. They seem to be doing well. I did pick up some of the DT14's to use later in the summer. Man they got awesome colors available and I really like the action.

Laser, You a mind reader ? I looked at the DT-14 's today.I couldn't find the color I wanted in the 14 size.The color is pearl gray shiner. It looks so good, its gotta catch fish.The color I got was Brown bone. Its real close to an old Poes color I used to fish after I took the time to get it good and faded. That old poes 400P used to catch good fish for me years ago.Maybe the Rapala might not work like the old poes though, just because Fritts was involved with both of them ? P N J
