X-RAP

[ikeslayer]

This may be old news around these parts already. but i was in fleetfarm yesterday and i saw the new jointed X-raps. I think these are going to be dominant. What do the rest of yall think. ike

[Cooter]

I tossed one last fall from shore just to see it in action -I believe it has potential. It will see its share of action this summer.

They should make them big so we can fish Muskies with them.

[Random guy]

My biggest musky came off a #5 Shad Rap when all else failed I downsized, big time. I like a few little lures in the reserves. The x-rap will prove to be very effective for musky.

[Tonka Boy]

I'm not positive on this, but I swear I saw bigger X-raps on tap for 2006.

It's comes in a 5 1/4 inch size, almost the same as the Super Shad Rap size which is 5 1/2 inches.

They look pretty sweet!

Two seasons ago we tried some X-raps and killed all size pike in weeds at opener.

Walleyes moved in to eat minnows hiding and we bombed them to.

Sold me.

Can make this lure do all kinds of cool stuff.

Last season we tried the larger SXR14 an lets said everyone had a party with the pike -n- muskie.

We also had fun with the SJS13 Shad.

Hey, FYI, the Storm Shallow Thunder is a gas also.

Not fancy or cost $30 each so they aint cool to talk about.

But they do catch fish.

Fun Stuff.

I have been looking all over for those. All I have been able to find is the normal X-raps. Whereever I look I can not find the jointed ones.

Yeah man -

The #14 Husky Jerks are great too. Wanna see some hot fish during mid-summer, fast snap a little Mann's Stretch -1. One of the most overlooked muskie baits of all is the old Bomber Long-A. Cast and twitch, or great behind a board.... I'd have a lot fewer fish in my boat if it weren't for the Long As. Got my Bass Pro saltwater catalog today, and saw the new bigger Saltwater X-raps. Look pretty cool...

Try Cabelas or Bass Pro. I saw some of the new X-Raps at Gander the other day but I want the saltwater edition. Stronger hooks. I got to try the straight style some last summer. They work. I'm planning to throw the jointed version a lot. The jointed Ernie has been one of my best baits and this X-Rap ought be a killer.

[ikeslayer]

hanson the jointed ones are at fleetfarm in rochester just a few miles from p.I. i am sure that i saw them there. but i think i was there the day they were bring out the new stuff so i was lucky in seeing them. But they should be there now. ike

[hanson1287]

Thanks Ike, maybe I can make a trip there tomorrow.

[Duffman]

Yep, I saw the jointed ones at Fleet in Lakeville last week, made me go Hmmmmmmmmm Interesting?!?

[NEANGLER]

Scheels has the jointed and the larger X raps as well.

[Capt. Quicksteel]

Jointed salt water size X-raps can be ordered from Bass Pro right on-line. I just ordered 2 and I can't wait to try 'em.........

[Brett Erickson]

The XRJ13s are awesome. Well built with tons of action. They don't dive too deep, can be worked really fast to really slow and are killers for everything. They have worked best for me, so far, on planer boards trolled in medium size waves where the board jerks the bait along.

The XRMAG30--yes, it will go 30'. Very steep dive angle but doesn't pull hard.

The XR14--just think of a shiny 6" Reef Hawg made out of hard plastic that you can also crank.

Is it June yet? I'm ready!
