Booyah XCS1 Series 2 5/16" 1/2oz Perch

The Booyah XCS1 Series 2 is a 5/16" shallow crankbait engineered to hunt fish in the zone where most lures don't go deep enough to matter but go deeper than a topwater tremor. At 1/2 ounce, it's got enough heft to cast a country mile and hold a tight wobble even when you're burning it back or working it slow—your choice. This is the lure you tie on when you want to cover water column and cover fast, whether you're after smallmouth on a gravel bar, largemouth in submerged grass, or walleye working the shallows at dawn.

Shallow crankbaits live and die by their dive curve and action, and the XCS1 Series 2 is built to trigger strikes from bass that ignore deeper divers. The compact 5/16" profile mimics a natural forage size and resists snags better than oversized lures on shallow structure. It's the kind of bait that rewards precision casting—work it tight to drop-offs, let it tick bottom in 2–4 feet, or crank it over scattered cover where bigger crankbaits hang up.

Booyah Baits has a solid reputation for quality hardware and finishes that hold up. The XCS1 Series 2 is a workhorse in your tackle rotation if you fish shallow flats and shorelines where a medium-diving crankbait rounds out your arsenal. Pair it with medium-light to medium spinning or baitcasting gear and fluorocarbon or light monofilament for best results.
