The DeLong 5.5″ XL Tadpole is built for bass anglers who aren’t afraid to throw a larger profile bait. Its oversized tadpole shape stands out in the water while still looking like natural forage fish recognize and trust.
This bait has earned a reputation for catching big bass, and it’s large enough to attract attention from pike and muskie—making every cast a potential surprise.
Bass anglers have long joked about accidentally catching muskie on bass gear. The XL Tadpole is one of those lures that makes it happen.
Big enough to interest muskie in the spring
Natural enough to consistently catch bass
Perfect when you want bass action without giving up the chance at something bigger
Historically, large tadpoles were used by muskie anglers in spring, and this lure carries that tradition forward—while still being deadly for bass.
The XL Tadpole produces a realistic swimming motion that mimics a large tadpole moving through shallow water. It works especially well during spring and early summer when predators are feeding aggressively on high-protein meals.
This lure is featured in DeLong’s Seasonal Bass Fishing Strategy Breakdown because of how well it matches real feeding behavior.
To learn exactly when and how to fish it, read our Best Bass Lures by Season Guide.
Every 5.5″ XL Tadpole comes:
Pre-rigged and ready to fish
With one molded-in 5/0 hook
Hand-poured for durability
Infused with anise scent mixed directly into the plastic
Designed for natural look and action
We go the extra mile in every step of the lure-making process with one goal: earning you as a customer for life.
