Key design features

• Built tough for tough conditions and hard-fighting fish
• Internal long-cast mechanism
• 3D holographic eyes
• VMC Perma steel hooks
• Perfect match saltwater patterns

In-water action and depth

The classic wounded-minnow wobble is paired with an extreme, erratic Slashbait when twitched, inviting predatory fish to react. The X-Rap swims in roughly 1.2 to 1.8 meters of water, making it a solid choice for mid-water encounters. Size 10 cm keeps it balanced for many saltwater species.

Color, realism, and durability

The Red Head UV finish catches light across varying conditions, while 3D holographic eyes add lifelike cues that help the lure read as a wounded target through the water column. Built to handle saltwater, the lure pairs robust hardware with corrosion-resistant design.

Target setups and conditions

Whether casting from beaches, jetties, or near structure, this versatile lure can pair with mid-sized saltwater species in both calm and choppy days. The 10 cm profile and internal long-cast mechanism help you reach mid-water zones where fish may hold.

• Beaches and jetties
• Estuaries and reefs
• Offshore channels

Care and maintenance

After saltwater use, rinse with fresh water, dry thoroughly, and inspect hooks for wear. Store in a tackle box to minimize corrosion and extend the lure’s life.

Usage tips

Cast beyond structure, then use short, sharp twitches with brief pauses to emphasize the Slashbait action. Keep the lure in the 1.2–1.8 m depth range for best results given the body’s design.

What it’s best for

This lure combines a wounded-prey feel with robust construction, offering a versatile option for anglers who enjoy casting and twitching to trigger bites in saltwater environments.
