The smallest bait is the 3XD that covers down to 10+ feet that gives you a smaller profile to match the depth zone and the bait size. The next zone is the 5XD based off the original Series 5 which is a bait most anglers carry in their arsenal.
The 5XD is designed to hit depths of 15’ or more where the enticing action of this bait will definitely attract those big bass when they get deep. The 6XD the original bait of the XD series has won countless tournaments and is absolutely a proven fish catcher which goes down to the 19+ depth range.
The 8XD is a bigger profile with a less aggressive action that shines when are fish pressured but still need a big bite. It will get down to 20+ depth with a bigger profile. The Big Daddy of the XD line is the 10XD that reach’s 25+ depths and made its splash by winning a FLW event at Sam Rayburn. This bait gets down deep and has the action that drives big fish crazy.
