Overview

Built for anglers working deeper water, this lure is designed to sink quickly and reach the bottom while preserving the action associated with the X-Rap line. Its suspending pause, Slashbait movement, and Rapala wobble give you options for stop-and-go retrieves or a slower wind when you want a more natural presentation. The body details, internal holographic foil, and flash-foil teaser tail are made to reflect light and add visibility in the water. Hand-tuned and tank-tested, it comes ready to fish with premium VMC black nickel hooks.

Considerations & Trade-offs

Deep-diving design and quick sink rate make this a more specialized choice when fish are holding deeper, rather than a general-purpose shallow runner.
It is built around a suspending pause and stop-and-go retrieve, so it may not suit anglers looking for a lure that stays in constant motion.
The lure’s action and presentation are tied to specific retrieval styles, which means getting the intended result depends on how it is fished.
Quantity per pack is 1, so outfitting multiple setups or replacing lost lures requires buying additional units.
