Match The Hatch Rusty Crayfish

Summer Slam – Topwater Giants
Monday, 01 July 2019

The Hot Head
Monday, 01 April 2019
By Andrew Ragas I grew up fishing many northwoods lakes with the X-Rap in Hot Head color. It was the hottest little lure for me when it first came out in the mid 2000’s. Then for a long while, I think my fish at a few lakes grew conditioned to it and it was placed
