Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 08 – Silver

The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures is a refined version of the original X-Rap formula specifically designed to excel in saltwater fisheries along the coast. These lures are a valuable addition to the arsenal of any inshore angler. With the same versatility as their freshwater counterparts, the X-Rap Saltwater lures are well-suited for various techniques.

When casting, these lures can be used in two ways: aggressively ripped and jerked for an erratic slashing action or steadily retrieved at different speeds. An internal long-cast system greatly improves casting distance, allowing anglers to cover large stretches of water at their preferred cadence. Boaters can also utilize the classic Rapala “wounded minnow” action by trolling the X-Rap Saltwater at different speeds and depths.

Equipped with VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks, these baits can handle big fish and resist corrosion. Additionally, they are hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure top-notch performance straight out of the box.
