Super User Cgolf Posted November 18, 2017 Super User Posted November 18, 2017 Was so mad that Booyah did not bring the Xcal SB forward in their line up. The 200 size had such a wide agressive wobble that it fish much bigger than it was. It is a great change up bait to the much more subtle Strike Kings, Excites, and Bandits I toss. If the profound has that same crazy action, may have to get one or two. Does anyone know of another SB that comes anywhere near the agressive action of the Xcal 200? They had a bait that was unlike anything I had seen and then discontinued it:( Quote
Super User iabass8 Posted November 18, 2017 Super User Posted November 18, 2017 XCS ran I think one to three or 0-3. The THKO wake bait has a really aggressive wobble. It isn't really a "wake" bait. It dives to about 2ft. Maybe more but I throw it on 16# line. It's an awesome shallow bait. Action is definitely better on this than the XCS200. Lucky Craft BDS 2 and 3. The 2 is nearly impossible to find but the 3 is still pretty easy to come by. Similar action to the XCS200 Bagley Balsa B2. 1 Quote
Super User burrows Posted November 20, 2017 Super User Posted November 20, 2017 The xcaliburs were good because of the quality components and great paint jobs also the xcs100s casted really far they were a half ounce in a 1.5 body I continue to collect xcalibur lures and they are still available on the Internet even though they are discontinued. I never used the 200s Quote
Super User smalljaw67 Posted November 20, 2017 Super User Posted November 20, 2017 I too love the Xcalibur XCS series and if you want a bait that is similar in size, action and diving depth you are in luck. The Yo-Zuri 3DB or 3DR square bill, very close to the size and weight of the 200 with the same wide wobble and excellent deflection properties, it is an awesome square bill and I've been using them a lot the last 2 years. 1 Quote
thebillsman Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 I have a half dozen in great shape that I'll part with. Too much float and not enough depth for me. I did well with the R2S Biggie Smalls and KVD this year. Quote
Scarborough817 Posted November 20, 2017 Posted November 20, 2017 no the mold is not the same there are some differences between them Quote
Super User burrows Posted November 20, 2017 Super User Posted November 20, 2017 If I'm not mistaken the 3db is more of a round bill not a true squarebill I have one still in the box probably try it out next year. Quote

The 3DB series has both round bill cranks and a true square bill. http://www.tacklewarehouse.com/Yo-Zuri_3DB_Series_Squarebill/descpage-YZ3SQ.html Quote
