Rapala X-Rap

Recommended Posts

I bought a x-rap 10 and a x-rap 12 today to try out this year in Canada. The 10 has a feathered trebble on the back that I like, but the #12 did not. Should I add one? Has anyone experimented with them enough to notice a difference?

It's a good one. Last year I got Bass, Northern and Walleye on it. My buddy had two Tigers follow on a metro lake bofore opener. I went to Florida and they really push the pink and white one for Snook. Same color the Hybrid follows came on.

Oh yeah, two Walleye and one small pike last year on opener on a popular lake up-north TROLLING it.

I think the pink one might catch anything and everything. I fished in Florida again a few weeks ago and got lots of Jack Crevalle on it. Not that they're picky in general, but it was all we got 'em on for three days. It's officially my go-to.

I'll tell u what. Early and late in the year the biggest size JOINTED SILVER X-RAPs are deadly for pike. Trolled, jerked, str8 retrieval....

first time I casted one for pike I caught 2 11 lbers back to back!

Very strong lures, big hooks, easy to dehook a fish!

    • Yeah it was a beatdown
    • Your kid needs to stay with him!👍
    • My kid was eating in Beverly Hills and ran into this guy. Talked to him a bit and wished him luck in the game tonight.     
    • 🤔as a recovering machinist!🤣🤣that must make me a recovering welder!
    • As a recovering machinist, I can appreciate that.  If the spec is 0.001 - 0.0015, then clearly the correct measurement is 0.00125, duh…
    • I just figured that it is easy enough to just get a 3 bank so when the boat is not in use I can keep all 3 batteries charged. I have not bough a charger yet, maybe I will give it some more thought. Edit: After thinking this over, with the size, weight, and heat output of the charger (as well as the cost) I think it makes sense to just buy a 2 bank charger, I have a smaller charger i can use on the starting battery when the boat is sitting at home. Forgive me, for i am a retired engineer and I have to obsess over everything...
    • Congrats on the motor!  I think you’ll like it.   I can’t say much on the charger location but I’ve seen them under the lid in back compartments and under center rod lockers.  160 degrees is more than I expected to hear.   Curious why you’re opting for a 3 bank charger with a 24V trolling motor.  Unless you don’t feel you be running you big motor enough to keep that battery up as well?
    • I did buy an Minnkota Ulterra, thanks for the recommendations. I had a bunch of Cabela"s bucks saved up, which helped. Now i need to get an onboard battery charger. Where do you guys mount these things in your boat? The manufacturer I am looking at {Noco genius) says tht their 3-bank charger will run at 160 degrees, seems like a lot of heat in an enclosed compartment? Thanks for any input on this.
    • You're very lucky a troop of Sea Monkey's didn't carry you away.   
    • Wasn't terrible at a state park beach. Antelope island maybe.  I wouldn't recommend it as a beach destination tho.  Figured I was there, I'm getting in it.
