All About the Monster 3X X-Swim

By now you have probably heard of the hottest soft plastic bait on the market, Monster 3X!  Most likely though, the bait you have seen and heard the most about is the X-Move Shrimp.  The X-Move Shrimp is by far the most popular of the Monster 3X line up, but we aren't here to discuss the X-Move.  Right below the shrimp in popularity is the Monster 3X X-Swim.  This bait incorporates a segmented tail and may be even more versatile than the X-Move Shrimp.  The X-Swim is a perfect bait fish imitation that gives the angler an array of options in not only saltwater but freshwater as well!

We rig all of our Monster 3X products on the T&A Bullhead Jigs or the T&A Weedless Belly Weighted Hooks, they are the only hooks and jigs designed specifically for use with the Monster 3X baits.

 Here are just some of the ways you can use the X-Swim to put more fish in the boat:

• Use a sharp upward snap of the rod to jump the bait off the bottom like a struggling bait fish.
• Use a medium speed retrieve with steady rod twitches to imitate a fleeing baitfish.
• Use a fast, steady retrieve and the X-Swim's tail will kick side to side just under the surface.
• In freshwater, rig on a T&A Weedless Hook (1/16 oz-1/4oz) and pitch along cover.  The X-Swim has a subtle action when sinking using very little rod movement, making it a great bait for bass fishing.

Next time you need the perfect bait fish imitation, pick up either the 3 3/4" or the 4 3/4" Monster 3X X-Swim, you won't be disappointed!
