Extend Your Reach with The Dagger XL

Upsized finesse minnow for forward-facing sonar and deep water

Big profile, same deadly finesse action

The Dagger XL takes Fish or Die’s proven minnow design and super-sizes it to 4.75”. Built for Damiki and Hover rigs but just as lethal on drop shots, jig heads, and Neko rigs, this bait’s isolated caudal fin creates a natural flutter that mimics alewives, shad, gobies, and perch. Whether you’re sonar-sniping suspended smallmouth or dragging deep rock with your kayak, the XL draws bigger bites when standard finesse won’t cut it.

  • ✅ 4.75" body designed for targeting bigger bass
  • ✅ Caudal fin design produces lifelike fall and flutter
  • ✅ Perfect for Damiki, Hover, Drop Shot, Neko, and Ned rigs
  • ✅ Napalm (Squid/Craw) scent keeps fish holding longer
  • ✅ Kayak-friendly bait for sonar sniping and offshore dragging
