I only had an hour to kill. The water is starting to settle down after the rains. There was a good stiff wind. I walked the east shore around to the north shore throwing a shaky headed pumpkin zoom worm. Absolutely nothing, I thought the rains were still holding things down at Axehead. I switched over to the X-rap on the walk back to the car. Amazing, I casted just over the weed beds and back throughthe lanes. I was getting follows and a couple of missed hook sets. I did manage another Axehead Special. I don't know if I should keep the X-rap's magic under wraps or extol its virtues. I am a total believer.

LOL @ Axehead special.

What kind of retrieve were you doing? Walking the dog or just slashing it back and forth?

I've only caught 1 fish on an X-Rap, but it was pure luck on my part, and pure instinct by the fish. The lure must have landed right in front of him, I don't think the whole lure was in the water before he tried to take off with it.
Nice Axehead special!

Just like the Rapala website instructs sweep, sweep, pause.
Nicely done, Dan! X-Raps are great baits.
