The X-70 is a juvenile minnow-style jerkbait built to dominate the shallow range with irresistibly wide side-to-side darting action. Tuned to suspend in the 1-2ft range, the X-70 is ideal for river systems, flats, shallow docks, and skinny-water areas where jerkbaits too often fear to tread. Its flat sided design enables huge flash and consistent range-keeping, even with a hard-hitting jerkbait cadence. With a simple retrieve, the body shape elicits a flickering swimming action that looks deceptively at home in its natural habitat. The suspending action of the X-70 can also be harnessed for a dead-drift & twitch presentation in current, closely mimicking injured baitfish and other forage.
Line: We recommend a braid to fluorocarbon leader setup. Leader line diameter will affect lure action, particularly lures in which the angler is responsible for imparting action, like a walking bait or jerkbait. We have found 4-6lb leader material to be optimal for most situations.
