Gear Review: Bass Pro Shops XPS All-American Double-Willow Spinnerbait

WHAT IS IT?

Bass Pro Shops XPS All-American Double-Willow Spinnerbait 

WHAT SETS IT APART?

This is a spinnerbait where all the lure hardware and skirt are made by top names in the business. High quality Mustang wire forms the backbone of a spinnerbait made with a surgically sharpened TroKar Pro-V Hook, premium Hildebrandt blades, fine-tuned Worth swivel and snug-fitting silicone Z-Man skirt. Clear gloss finish on the painted head adds strike appeal and prevents chipping. Made in the U.S.A. Sizes: 3/8, 1/2 and 3/4 ounce. Colors: Spot Remover, Mouse, White/Chartreuse, White-Nickel, White-Nickel/Gold and Coleslaw. 

HOW DO I USE IT?

The double-willow blades are ideal for spinnerbait fishing in the fall, as the size, flash and bulk match the larger size shad and baitfish favored by bass as they bulk up for winter. The attention-grabbing profile and action of this spinnerbait resemble schooling baitfish swimming in a tight pack. You can burn this spinnerbait around schooling baitfish (and bass) or slow it down around docks or shallow cover to fool a bass into darting out and taking the bait. Keep the blades moving and hang on.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:

If there were an “A” list spinnerbait, this is it. The Bass Pro Shops XPS All-American Double-Willow Spinnerbait has the highest pedigree when it comes to quality hardware and skirt. It’s built to last and will run true when burned across bait and bass, or produce a tantalizing, true-to-life fall to mimic a wounded baitfish. Add it all up, and this should be your go-to spinnerbait for any season, any cover and condition where a bladed bait works best.
