Xesta Maverick 175 Hybrid Diving Pencil 60+ grams Floating Lure 010
Floating
The Xesta Maverick 175 Hybrid Diving Pencil 60+ grams Floating Lure is a 175 class floating hybrid diving pencil built for offshore and heavy shore work where predators are pushing larger bait near the surface.
It is not a tiny finesse plug; it is for long casts, strong tackle, and fish that commit to a visible meal-sized lure.
Work it with sweeps, pauses, and a steady retrieve rather than treating it like a simple popper.
The diving-pencil profile lets it push, slide, and dive under tension, then recover on the pause, which can trigger fish that follow behind fast-moving bait.
It is strongest around bait schools, reefs, current lines, drop-offs, and offshore feeding activity.
If fish are feeding on tiny bait or refusing large profiles, downsize instead of forcing the big pencil.
TARGET SPECIES: kingfish, tuna-class juveniles, mahi-mahi, GT, queenfish, trevally, bluefish, and offshore predators chasing larger baitfish near the surface.
