The X Zone 3.25" Hot Shot Minnow is a soft plastic lure developed in collaboration with pro angler Brandon Palaniuk that takes perch and zander fishing to the next level. Thanks to the use of high-quality floating plastic, this lure stands completely upright underwater, making it a deadly choice for techniques such as the Ned rig and bottom bouncing. The design features a unique hook slot under the nose for a consistently perfect and straight presentation on the hook. Whether you choose a dropshot, neko rig, or jig heads, the Hot Shot Minnow imitates a feeding baitfish so realistically that even the most passive predator fish are tempted to strike.
