Rapala X-Rap 10 cm Plug

Rapala X-Rap 10 cm Plug

The Rapala X-Rap combines the features of a plug and a jerk into one lure! The stunning finish, the glimmer of the hologram-coat and the effective color schemes are just the beginning. Inside the lure there is the Long Cast weight system, and the surprises don't end there. The final nail in the fish's coffin is the incredible swimming motion of this floating plug. When reeled aggressively the X-Rap zig-zags violently from side to side. Sharp movements with the rod give the plug a truly rough and attractive movement pattern, which is reinforced by the glimmer of the lure's holographic surface. Irregular reeling, sharp jerks with the rod and rhythmic pauses make the X-Rap swim like a wounded small fish. When used without any fancy tricks, the X-Rap functions like a plug lure should, and it is also excellent for slow and cautious fishing with long pauses. When reeled in calmly, the lure swims like a true Rapala. When stopped, this lure will float in place; it doesn't sink or rise towards the surface. This makes even long breaks and pauses possible.

The Long Cast system causes the weights inside the lure to slide to the back end of the lure in the beginning of the cast, which ensures a long and straight flight path with no tangling or wobbling. When the plug lands in the water, the weights slide back to the front of the lure and lock in place. They won't be knocked loose, no matter how tough the going gets. Thanks to its versatile features, the X-Rap is suitable for both very slow fishing in cold waters and the quick, aggressive action of the summer months. For those who wish to go deeper, we also offer a deep variation of this lure: the X-Rap Deep.
