The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures takes the original X-Rap formula and improves it to be highly effective in saltwater fishing along the coast. These lures are a must-have for any angler who fishes inshore. They offer the same versatility as the freshwater versions and can be used with various techniques.
When casting, the X-Rap Saltwater lures can be ripped and jerked aggressively to create an erratic slashing action. Alternatively, they can be retrieved steadily at different speeds. These lures feature an internal long-cast system that allows for excellent casting distance, enabling anglers to cover a large area of water at their preferred cadence.
For boaters, the X-Rap Saltwater lures can be trolled at different speeds and depths to mimic the classic Rapala “wounded minnow” action. This technique is effective in attracting fish. The lures are equipped with VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks that are strong enough to handle big fish and are resistant to corrosion. Additionally, each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure optimal performance right out of the box.
