Chrome black, Chrome Blue, Black Gold, Red Craw, Foxy Shad. These are the colors that I use and they all produce great. The XR50 is one of my favorite lures to use.

It depends, I'll burn it in, vary retrieve speeds, jerk it side to side, and in deep water you can even jig it.

Thanks!!

Also, does it matter if its the bleeding ones or not? I got chrome blue and chrome black one of each in bleeding and not, at my dicks... Do you think im good with those colors?

The difference is like 4 small red tick marks by the "gill" and then red hooks...

I've had good luck with their 'Oxbow' color (Chartreuse w/ blue back) on muddy water such as the Mississippi.

I like chrome w/blue top and orange belly

Thanks!!

    I don't think it matters that much.

Ghost Minnow (I think it's called Melon something in the XR line).  If you water is clear to light stained....that will produce.  I either burn mine, or use a hard pull/reel up the slack/hard pull retrieve.

I have four colors that produce very well.

1-Blue Chrome/Orange (clear water)

2-Pearl Melon (clear water)

3-Rayburn Red (stained Water)

4-Royal Shad (stained water)

Chrome blue/orange, Foxy Shad, and Foxy Mama are the only ones I've used. Definitely my favorite lipless crank. I'd advise you to try out the One-Knocker series and the 75 size too, they're killer as well! :D

That Royal Shad color looks nice, I haven't seen it before... Guess I gotta get me some... ;D

If you are just buying one, Chrome Blue/ Orange Belly:

Can't go wrong with that color as all around. Throw in some with Chartreuse for dirtier water and have to have some in Rayburn Red for ripping through grass to imitate crawfish. This is my No 1 rattle bait now passing up the Redeye Shad. Added bonus I got 8 of them at Dick's a while back when they had Excalibur baits 50% off. I don't think these were part of the promotion but talked salesperson into it.

$3.25 each was a steal. :D

CWB - We just got a Dick's store here in WPB, FL and they've had the Xcalibur's on sale like every time I've been in there!! Love that place!
