The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures takes the original X-Rap formula and makes it suitable for saltwater fishing. These lures are designed to be effective in various saltwater fisheries along the coast. Inshore anglers will find these lures to be a valuable addition to their tackle box.
Similar to the freshwater versions, the X-Rap Saltwater lures are versatile and can be used with different techniques. When casting, you can either jerk and rip the lure aggressively for a slashing action, or steadily retrieve it at various speeds. The lures have an internal long-cast system that helps achieve great casting distance, allowing you to cover a large area of water at your desired pace.
If you're on a boat, you can also troll the X-Rap Saltwater at different speeds and depths to create the classic Rapala “wounded minnow” action. This adds another dimension to your fishing strategy.
Furthermore, these lures are equipped with strong VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks, capable of handling larger fish and resistant to corrosion. Additionally, each lure goes through a hand-tuning and tank-testing process to ensure optimal performance straight out of the box.
