The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures takes the successful formula of the original X-Rap and adapts it for saltwater fishing along coastlines. These lures are a must-have for any angler who enjoys fishing inshore, targeting species like redfish, tarpon, and snook.
Just like their freshwater counterparts, the X-Rap Saltwater lures are incredibly versatile and can be used with various fishing techniques. When casting, you can choose to aggressively rip and jerk the lure for an erratic slashing action or retrieve it steadily at different speeds to simulate a baitfish. These lures are equipped with an internal long-cast system, allowing you to cover a large area of water at any desired cadence.
If you're fishing from a boat, you have the option to troll the X-Rap Saltwater at different speeds and depths, mimicking the classic Rapala “wounded minnow” action that predators find irresistible.
The X-Rap Saltwater lures come with VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks, which are strong enough to handle big fish and resistant to corrosion. As with all Rapala lures, these are hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure premium performance straight out of the box.
