Product of The Week - XZone - Stealth Invader

When it’s time to fire up the school and start a feeding frenzy, tie on the Xzone Lures Pro Series Stealth Invader and generate a predatory response! The Stealth Invader features a goby-style profile that smallmouth bass and more find to be a simply irresistible snack. That profile is expertly enhanced with moulded detailing on the head and body which is complemented by a train of fins that run along its spine. The tapered body is poured with carefully placed segments that combine with its reversed paddle tail to enhance the action and provide a more realistic swimming motion. The deal is sealed with Xzone’s proven colors and their exclusive X-Formula Scent that utilizes super fine salt to expand your strike zone and encourage bass to hold on to your bait longer.
