Since its founding in 1936, Rapala stands for innovation and quality in fishing tackle. Nowadays, the name is deeply rooted and known to every angler, far beyond “only” spin fishing. The invention of the “wobbler” by Lauri Rapala was a long time ago and much has happened since then. Today, the brand trumps with superior know-how especially in lure design, combining traditional values in craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technologies and uncompromising quality control. Because Rapala lures are still hand-tuned and tank-tested before packaging to assure your lure has the Rapala trademark swimming action.
Everyone remembers their first X-Rap®! An inimitable swim action - just cast and retrieve it – so simple, yet so effective and recognized that Rapala has patented the “Slashbait®”. The colors, specially designed to adapt to all situations, benefit from a translucent coating. Internal holographic sheets and 3D eyes add even more appeal to lure. Since the first “Minnow” of the series, this family has grown and now consists of many “X-Rap”-branded members.
The X-Rap is “all about the action.” It’s the perfect size, shape and 3D illusion of a minnow. Prominent scales and lateral line on the fuselage capture and flash light like a beacon. It can be fished both in an aggressive “Slashbait” technique or with a classic Rapala wobble. The angler defines the cadence for maximum effectiveness. Small versions of the X-Rap are ideal for targeting smaller species such as trout, perch or asp – or as small, snack-sized offerings for big predators that are finicky and won’t bite bigger lures. It is perfectly balanced for long, accurate casts right at your target.
