Product highlights
Designed for modern predator fishing, the Xorus Bad Boy sinking lure stands out for its ability to quickly reach the fish-holding layer and then climb toward the surface during retrieval thanks to the specially shaped head. Its high density enables very long-distance casts from shore or boat to cover wide areas and locate active predators. Its pronounced rolling action, achieved by a steady, linear retrieve, displaces a lot of water and creates strong attractive vibrations. Easy to handle, this sinking lure for sea bass and marine predators delivers effective action without complex rod manipulation.
Highly stable, the Bad Boy maintains its path even in strong currents, heavy wind, or choppy seas. The broad head surface helps it hold the water perfectly, reducing surface wander and keeping a controlled action where other lures lose contact. This stability makes it an excellent choice for targeting wave-battered areas, exposed rocky points, or estuaries with strong tides.

Benefits and strengths
The main asset of the Xorus Bad Boy is its ability to combine casting distance, ease of use, and effective swimming action. In a few turns of the reel the lure comes alive and oscillates side to side, imitating a fleeing baitfish and triggering reflex strikes from predators. This very accessible action lets anglers focus on reading the water and detecting bites rather than on technical manipulations.
Its high density provides a decisive advantage when the wind picks up or the current becomes strong. Where many minnows become hard to control, this long-cast sinking lure continues to work and hold the water column. It is therefore an excellent choice to prospect distant areas, reach offshore chases, or fish exposed points and breakwater structures effectively.
Its versatility allows inclusion in many fishing strategies: rapid search for active fish over large areas, persistence on marked spots such as rock heads, breaks or current edges, or fan-style prospecting from a beach or rocky point. Added to an already stocked lure box, it brings a complementary solution when conditions get tough.
Usage tips
To get the most from the Xorus Bad Boy sinking lure, start with a long-distance cast targeting likely holding areas: rock heads, current seams, shelf edges or surface chases. Let it sink for a few seconds to reach the desired water layer, then engage a linear retrieve at a speed adjusted to fish activity. Even without specific rod action, the lure will produce its characteristic oscillating swim.
You can vary the running depth by changing sink time before retrieving, or alternate continuous retrieves with short pauses. Light rod twitches can accentuate direction changes and provoke reflex strikes. Adjust retrieve speed: slow when water is cold or fish are wary, faster to provoke aggressive reactions when activity is high. Don’t hesitate to change size or color variants to match water clarity, light conditions, and local forage.
Testimonials
"I was looking for a long-cast sinking lure able to hold in the current during my coastal sessions. Since using the Xorus Bad Boy I can reach distant chases even in strong wind, and bites come quickly. This lure has allowed me to land several nice sea bass when other models lost the water column. It is now a staple in my kit for fishing sea bass in rough conditions."FAQ
Question 1: For which species and conditions is the Xorus Bad Boy best suited?
Answer: This model is particularly recommended for sea bass fishing, as well as other predators hunting in open water or near structures. Its density and stability make it an excellent choice when wind increases, current is strong, or the sea is rough, while it remains effective in calm conditions to reach distant areas and quickly prospect large surfaces.
