Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 08 – Pinfish

The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures are engineered to dominate the saltwater fishing scene. These highly versatile lures are designed with saltwater predators in mind, providing anglers with the ability to target a wide array of species around coastal areas. Perfectly mimicking the action of a pinfish, they are a must-have for any serious inshore fisherman.

Employing the iconic X-Rap action, these lures offer two primary retrieval methods that will spark the interest of nearby predators. You have the choice to engage in an aggressive ripping and jerking motion for a hard-cutting, darting escape that predators find irresistible, or employ a steady retrieve at multiple speeds to match the prevailing conditions.

The lures are integrated with an internal long-cast system, which grants anglers the reach needed to present the lure accurately at considerable distances from shore or a boat, ensuring that you can target fish even when they're far from where you're positioned.

trolling is another effective technique with the X-Rap Saltwater, capable of producing the timeless “wounded minnow” action that has long been associated with Rapala. This action simulates an injured baitfish, a prime target for hungry saltwater game fish. Outfitted with VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks, these lures can stand up to the challenge of battling large, powerful saltwater fish. These hooks provide exceptional strength and are corrosion-resistant, ideal for the saltwater environment.

To guarantee that you get the best performance from the first cast, each Rapala lure is meticulously hand-tuned and tank-tested, ensuring that they swim properly right out of the packaging.
