About this product
The Trix Minnow XL is the scaled-up, 4 inch version of Catch America's best-selling soft bait, originally introduced by Cal Kellogg as a big-fish bait for open-water reservoirs. That bigger profile is a natural for largemouth, smallmouth, and spotted bass on a swimbait, drop-shot, or Ned rig, as well as trophy rainbow trout, landlocked salmon, and lake trout on the troll. Available in 17 cosmic-series colors including Aurora, Galactic Green, and Nebula Purple.
Questions and answers
What is the Trix Minnow XL best for?
The Trix Minnow XL is a 4-inch soft bait for bigger trout, sold in a 5-pack. Capt. Nate Kelsch and Cal Kellogg trolled it at Lake Berryessa for hefty Eagle Lake strain rainbows, stacking 17 to 20 hookups. The larger profile calls up quality fish. Seventeen colors are available.
How do I fish the Trix Minnow XL?
Troll it slowly on a bare hook, action disc, or downrigger. At Lake Berryessa, Nate ran the XL on downriggers to reach trout holding deep. You can also cast it on a jig head and retrieve with gentle twitches for a lifelike swim. Add scent for more bites.
What color Trix Minnow XL works best?
Shad and minnow patterns, chartreuse, and purple produced rainbows at Lake Berryessa for Nate Kelsch and Cal Kellogg. The 5-pack comes in 17 colors, from natural Bait Fish to bright Galactic Green and Neptune Blue. Match real forage tones in clear water, brighter shades when it is stained.
Is the Trix Minnow XL good for big trout?
Yes. The 4-inch body is built to tempt larger fish, and it delivered 17 to 20 hookups on big Eagle Lake strain rainbows at Lake Berryessa. Guides trolled it alongside standard Trix Minnows and Trix Worms. Step up to the XL when you want bigger bites from quality trout.
What adds action to the Trix Minnow XL?
Pair it with Trigger Discs, sold in a 5-pack, to add a wobbling swim in front of the soft bait. The disc makes the minnow dart and roll on a straight troll, a strong trigger for trout that are following but not committing. Thread the minnow straight behind it.
How does the XL compare to the standard Trix Minnow?
The XL runs 4 inches versus the standard 3-inch minnow, a bigger meal for larger trout. At Lake Berryessa, guides fished both together, letting the XL pull quality fish while the smaller minnow covered numbers. Both come in a convenient 5-pack for trout anglers.
