Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 10 – Blue Sardine

The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures is an adaptation of the original X-Rap designed specifically for the saline environment. These lures are a must-have for any inshore angler's tackle box. Beyond their versatility, they excel in various saltwater applications whether you're fishing on the flats, in the surf, or off a pier.

When casting, the X-Rap Saltwater lures can be manipulated with a series of jerks and pauses, known as “rip and jerk,” to exhibit an erratic slashing action that predatory fish find irresistible. They can also be smoothly retrieved at various speeds, offering flexible presentations based on the targeted species' behavior at any given time. These lures come with a built-in long-cast system, which increases castability and allows anglers to reach distant fish with ease.

For those who prefer to fish off a boat, the X-Rap Saltwater is suitable for trolling, thanks to its ability to replicate the renowned Rapala “wounded minnow” action. This feature serves as a powerful attractant to many saltwater species. Outfitted with VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks, these lures are engineered to subdue robust saltwater gamefish and are built to withstand the harsh marine environment.
