Because Shrimp Should Glide Like Shrimp

The whole point of fishing a shrimp lure is to make it look like something a fish actually wants to eat.

The football shaped head gives the Prawn XT a natural, bite triggering glide as it drops through the water. That controlled fall helps the lure maintain a realistic shrimp presentation as it sinks toward the strike zone.

Whether you are hopping it along the bottom or dropping it into deeper water, the goal is simple: make the Prawn XT look like an easy meal.

Natural glide. Better presentation. More chances to get bit.

Made for the Prawn XT This is not a random jighead we happened to stick on it. It was designed specifically for the tougher Prawn XT soft plastic.
That Natural Shrimp Glide The football shaped head helps the Prawn XT maintain a controlled, natural looking glide as it falls through the water.
Get Down Where the Fish Are Choose your weight based on how quickly you need the lure to reach the strike zone and maintain contact with the bottom.
Pick the Hook That Fits the Shrimp Use the 2/0 with the Prawn XT Jr. and the 4/0 with the Prawn XT OG.
