Rapala X-Rap Jointed Shad 13 cm

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 with the X-Rap Jointed Shad being one of them. 

The X-Rap Jointed Shad is especially a trump card when a slow bait presentation is required. Cold water, sluggish fish or high fishing pressure can demand just such a delicate lure presentation. The articulation allows the lure to play and vibrate even with minimal retrieve speed. The integrated, holographic foil reflects seductively.  Equipped with all premium X-Rap features. Convinces even predatory fish used to crankbaits with its slow and seductive run. Slow rising, so especially in the spinstops hard takes can be expected.
