4.0” X-Bug — Compact Creature Bait for Heavy Cover & Clear Water Strikes

A small-profile creature bait with big action — perfect for Florida grass, pads, and pressured bass.

The Baitlicious 4.0” X-Bug is a compact creature bait designed to give you the best of both worlds: a small, subtle profile for finicky bass and aggressive flapping appendages that move naturally even with slow presentations.

This bait shines when bass are buried in grass, hugging cover, or refusing traditional power baits. The X-Bug’s tight action, compact size, and streamlined body allow it to slip through vegetation and trigger strikes in places other baits can’t reach.

Perfect for flipping, pitching, punching, dragging, and as a jig trailer — this is a true multi-purpose creature bait built for Florida’s toughest cover.

Salt-bagged for freshness and hand-poured in small batches, the X-Bug is built to perform.
