I'm really looking forward to kick this off.  To add a twist to this I will write down on a small piece of paper the total number of fish and different species caught with this lure and send it along with the lure to Jim. |

Should be at steve's place somewhere next week or so. Hey Kees and other board members the lure has arrived   I'm just getting over the rotton flu bug so in the next couple of days the XR-10 HH will be getting wet.If I manage to catch something I will post pics.Since the ice just left here the water is very cold so the fish are a little sluggish yet.I will have to fish this a little slow until the water warms up a little. Thanks Kees |

Well my first outing with the XR was a success I ended up catching 4 Walleye(Zander) with it that night.The picture I took is of the biggest one I caught.It was 24 inches long and probably weighed a few pounds.  |

O man steve. As many times as i have thrown that thing that is one fish i have never caught with it, i would have been happier than a fat lady at a cake party. Awesome fish and excellent work. You mentioned that yall just had ice out, those are some shallow walleye, but nonetheless great job.

Keenan the walleyes here are getting ready to spawn so they are very shallow.I caught these in about 4 feet of water The X-Rap works very well for Walleyes in the spring for some reason.Come summer time they won't touch it  |

That's a really nice fish there. Night fishing with a bright colored lure  That is interesting. So when the fish are in a feeding frenzy color selection doesn't really matter eh? It will be interesting to see what other folks catch with it. Can future catchers add some detail about fishing conditions? That would be worth a lot for knowing when a color like that works best.

I'm not worried about the bright colors, I think when the fish are on a jerkbait bite, they are not as worried about color as they are silhouette. They're just looking up and profiling the lure...... they think it looks like a minnow.. BAM!
I have no doubt that I can slay the winter largemouth with this lure.

Looks like this lure is gonna catch more in it's lifetime then the average lure.

I wonder if Steve is gonna catch some more on the lure before it will be traveling to Jim. Probably not due to knee replacement surgery,but I will try it in my Dad's pond for some largemouth bass before I send it off.Its very easy terrain to walk on at his pond.I don't think I could handle the normal obstacles one would come across while fishing. |

Steve, Hope you will have some succes on the lure the last couple of days before you send it off.
