Rapala X Rap Crankbait Reviews

My favorite presentation in early spring and late fall is Jerkbaits. And for my money, the Rapala X Raps are the best in their class. I prefer the #10 4 inch X Rap as my go to lure in Olive Green followed by the Trout color. I've bought about a dozen or so of them, and every one catches fish. The hooks are extremely sharp, so there is no need to upgrade them.

I replaced the feathered tail hook on one to see if it made any difference. The action remained the same, but the Bass weren't as aggressive in taking that lure till I changed the hook back to a dressed treble hook.

The colder the water, the longer the pause, but still the vast majority of hits come right after the pause.

I have 20+ X Raps and really like them. I especially like the X-Rap Deeps and 2 of my three biggest fish this year have come on them (5 1/2 pound SMs). The color selection is also great, they even have a goby pattern. The action is very erratic as it is designed to be and on some days these outfish their much higher priced competitors.

i own quite a few of these in different sizes and colors to use in almost any conditions.
they work great during the summer and spring in my local lakes (San Jose, CA).
rapala always has quality products.

the x-rap have great action if you know how to use them,
and if you dont go onto the rapala website and they will teach you everything you need to know.

with all the color and size varieties you will never be out of lucky.
i would consider slash baits and essential part of any anglers tackle, and rapala just pushes this to the next level.

the only con i have about these products is that they don't have a very long cast, but the action is well worth it.

the only way to know if its going to work for you is to give it a try.
and its well worth the price.
