This is an exciting, new development from Rapala.
The new X-Rap® Magnum® Xtreme 160 will fill a much-needed gap of a shallow running lure for trolling. Rapala promises 2.5m running depth and says that it can be trolled at over 15 knots and up to 20 knots. It’s a 16cm lure that weighs a humble 68g which allows you to cover more water and trigger the speedsters of the deep. The X-Rap® Magnum® Xtreme 160 is not only a shallow runner, but also a high-speed lure, which can easily be trolled alongside bullets, and used when running out to your fishing grounds for faster fish.
Anglers around the world have tested this new lure, to see if it delivers, so they ran at just past 20 knots, or around 40 km/h. Sure enough the lures were running true and did not jump at all. But this lure performs well, even at slower speeds, such as 8 knots. It is easy to handle, with minimal pressure on the tackle and opens up a whole new way to set up and spread.
The side body of the X-Rap® Magnum® Xtreme is flat. Sleek flat sides create a tight rolling action, while the tail keel adds stability at all speeds.
Troll the X-Rap® Magnum® Xtreme fast, or slow, through reef terrain, or around rocky outcrops, amongst skirted lures, or other Rapala lures in your spread.
Designed with Rapala’s Magnum level of strength, each X-Rap® Magnum® Xtreme comes complete with through-wire construction, heavy duty split rings and VMC 9626 3x strong treble hooks.
