Designed in collaboration with Elite Series Pro Brandon Palaniuk, the X Zone Lures Hot Shot Minnows are perfect for drop shot, neko rig, damiki rig and ball head presentations for bass, walleye, and many other species. Poured with a proprietary blend of high buoyancy plastic, the Hot Shot minnows stand completely upright underwater, making them a deadly option for ned rigs and other bottom presentation techniques proving them to be one of the best baits for bass. Featuring a unique hook slot located beneath the nose, anglers can easily rig this lure straight on a drop shot every time and will benefit from improved hook-up ratios.
