Rapala X-Rap Saltwater 12 – Blue Sardine

The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures is a refined version of the original X-Rap formula, specifically designed to be successful in saltwater fisheries along the coast. These lures are a valuable addition to any inshore angler's collection, offering the same versatility as the freshwater versions.

The X-Rap Saltwater lures are well-suited for various techniques. When casting, they can be ripped and jerked aggressively, creating an erratic slashing action. Alternatively, they can be steadily retrieved at different speeds. Thanks to an internal long-cast system, these lures have excellent casting distance, making it possible to cover large areas of water at any desired cadence.

For boaters, the X-Rap Saltwater can be trolled at various speeds and depths to mimic the classic Rapala “wounded minnow” action. These lures are equipped with VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks, which are strong enough to handle larger fish and resistant to corrosion. As always, Rapala ensures that each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to deliver premium performance right out of the box.
