The Rapala X-Rap Saltwater series of lures is a modified version of the original X-Rap formula, specifically designed to excel in saltwater fishing environments. These lures are highly valuable for any angler targeting inshore species. Just like their freshwater counterparts, the X-Rap Saltwater lures are extremely versatile and can be used with a variety of fishing techniques.
During casting, anglers have two options for retrieving these lures. They can choose to aggressively rip and jerk the lure, creating an erratic slashing action that mimics the movement of distressed prey. Alternatively, they can retrieve the lure steadily at various speeds to suit the fishing conditions. Regardless of the chosen retrieval method, the X-Rap Saltwater lures are designed to perform exceptionally well.
One notable feature of these lures is the internal long-cast system, which greatly enhances casting distance. This means that anglers can cover a larger area of water and explore different depths without difficulty. Whether an angler prefers a fast or slow retrieve, the X-Rap Saltwater lures provide the flexibility to match their desired cadence.
For boaters, the X-Rap Saltwater lures offer the classic Rapala “wounded minnow” action when trolled at various speeds and depths. This technique has proven to be highly effective in enticing strikes from predatory fish.
To ensure durability and resistance to corrosion, these lures come equipped with VMC 3X Perma Steel treble hooks. These hooks are strong enough to handle big fish and will remain in excellent condition even after repeated saltwater use. Additionally, as with all Rapala lures, the X-Rap Saltwater series is meticulously hand-tuned and tank-tested for optimal performance straight out of the box.
