Xorus Frosty 2 – 12.5cm 16g

Xorus Frosty 2: The “King of Calm” Surface Specialist

At Gerry’s Fishing, we often refer to the Xorus Frosty 2 as the “silent assassin” of the topwater world. While lures like the Patchinko are built for aggression and distance in rough seas, the Frosty 2 is specifically engineered for difficult, high-pressure conditions. When the water is “oily” calm, the sun is high, and the fish are timid, the Frosty’s subtle, seductive action often produces strikes when nothing else will.

The Frosty 2 is a 12.5cm, 16g floating stickbait that is renowned for being extremely easy to swim. Thanks to its perfect internal balance, it sits slightly tail-down at rest but responds instantly to the lightest rod tip movement. It can be worked with a classic “walk the dog” zigzag or a more erratic, sliding “slalom” action that mimics a vulnerable baitfish crossing the surface.

Product Details and Uses

The Xorus Frosty 2 is a tactical choice for “Stealth” surface fishing:

• Calm Water Superiority: This lure is designed to excel when there is no wind and the water surface is glass-calm. Its entry and action are quieter and more refined than larger, splashier poppers, making it less likely to spook wary Bass in shallow water.

• Effortless Animation: One of the Frosty’s best traits is how little effort it takes to make it dance. It is the perfect lure for long sessions where you want a “low-fatigue” retrieve that still maintains a perfect zigzagging rhythm.

• Perfect Ballistics: Despite weighing only 16g, the Frosty 2 launches surprisingly far. Its streamlined shape and weight distribution ensure it stays stable in the air, allowing for the high-precision casting needed to hit specific “pots” in weed beds or tight gaps between rocks.

• The “Vertical” Strike Trigger: When you stop the retrieve, the Frosty sits with its nose just above the water line. Often, a Bass will follow the lure for several meters and only strike the moment you stop and let the lure “nod” in the surface film.

• Versatile Profile: The 12.5cm length is a universal baitfish match. It is large enough to be a worthwhile meal for a specimen Bass, yet slim enough to be targeted by smaller predators like Perch and Chub in estuaries.

Gerry’s Pro Tip: On the hottest, brightest days, try the “Continuous Slide.” Instead of sharp twitches, use long, gentle sweeps of the rod to make the Frosty 2 glide in a wide S-pattern. In clear water, this “lazy” movement is often more convincing to an educated fish than a frantic, fast-paced retrieve
