X Zone Hot Shot Minnow

Developed with Elite Series Pro Brandon Palaniuk, the X Zone Lures Hot Shot Minnows are ideal for drop shot, neko rig, damiki rig and ball-head presentations aimed at bass, walleye and a variety of other species. Cast in a proprietary high-buoyancy plastic, these minnows maintain a fully upright posture underwater—making them a lethal choice for ned rigs and other bottom-oriented presentations, and a standout bait for bass anglers.

A dedicated hook slot beneath the nose allows straightforward, consistent drop-shot rigging and delivers better hook-up ratios.
