ive caught sooo many fish on the x-rap, its unbelievable, that lure alone turned my fishing from good to AMAZING! i've caught countless, walleye, bass, and of course pike. ive gone days where ive caught 40-50 pike in a day and not all snot rockets some up to 10-12lbs and i used the same x-rap all day. by the end of the day i've probably changed the hooks twice and not much left of the paint but it still catches fish. you look in my "x-rap bin" in my tackle box and you'll see the beating these have taken from fish. the only time ive ever seen x-raps get mangled like i see in your pictures is when you slap it on the water when you get cabbage on it or you do a lunatic cast onto some rocks really hard. doesnt seen used but abused. you guys must be doing it wrong or something...even though you still catch lots trolling them. they hold up the same as any other crankbait brand ive ever used.
what i cant seem to catch fish with those "rubber baits" haha! i cant catch a fish for the life of me on a mr.twister or anything like it. although i do well with gulp and white tubes wierrrd
