The XB-1 Deep Knock Squarebill is a floating shallow-running crankbait designed to work around cover. Its tungsten ball-bearing rattle creates an audible knock, and an internal weight-transfer system helps with casting.
Features
2¼-inch body; ⅜ oz
Floating; 2–5-foot diving range
Tungsten rattle and internal weight transfer
3D eyes and gill details
Best Way to Rig
Tie or clip to the designated nose line tie; use the installed treble hooks without an added jighead.
Techniques & Presentation
Run the squarebill around shallow wood, riprap and hard cover. Let the bill deflect off obstacles, then briefly pause to trigger reaction bites.
On-the-Water Tips
Use a retrieve that brings the bill into occasional contact with cover; avoid forcing the lure through heavy snags.
Additional Fishing Tips
Use the square bill to bump and deflect off shallow cover. Change retrieve speed or pause momentarily after contact when bass are following but not committing.
Recommended Rigging & Pairings
Pair with tackle suited to the lure’s size, depth and cover. Check Xmark Outdoors for compatible line, hooks and accessories.
