  • Lure review of the Rapala X-Rap Slashbait ripbait. I forgot to mention in the video that these baits have the internal weight transfer bearings to help maximize casting distance while creating the appropriate "rake" to the bait. Most higher quality baits have this chamber.

    I own 7 different versions and colorations of the X rap. Honest to god its the crown jewel of my collection. In open water I caught a 8 1/4 pound largemouth that landed me an invite to join the Bassmasters. In the green watermelon color you will own the lake up in Maine!

    I just started fishing again after about ten years or so. I used to catch a lot of chub in small creeks as a kid and bullhead, bluegill, pumpkinseed, and green sunfish in Lake Ontario tribs and bays. Recently all i have been able to catch is more of those same panfish. I picked up the 08 in gold and today nabbed my first small mouth and my first black crappie on my first casts under a bridge in a larger creek, back to back! Fun was over when I smacked the lure against the side of the bridge and broke the lip off (oops) but I was pumped to have caught something i never have before. Caught one more small mouth on a crawler and had to get going. This is the first stick bait i have ever even used. Looks like i made the right choice! I'm still learning how to catch some new species and these lures are just the edge i need!

    The gold one is my favorite, caught many walleye, bass, pike and even caught a Muskie with it. Simply amazing lure!

    I have the glass ghost one and pikes are loving it in any weather condition. One on my favorite lure.

    Caught a 46" muskie on the x rap the natural minnow color with red in it. So cool and had a walleye on right after. Never had so much luck fishing until i bought this lure. You must jerk it then pause it , the fish bite on the pause.

    Nice lures, I like these in clown, yellow perch, and glass ghost. also work well for me when trolling in the evening for walleye

    @CYANKS9 These are a great bait to get started in ripbait fishing. You don't have to impart a lot of action to these lures to get them to move well in the water.

  • @fishcrusader9871
    @fishcrusader9871 10 лет назад +1

    xraps dominate the fish scene,.. landed all my fish (bass/walleye) this year on the xrap 8s and 10s ,.. those and the live target pumpkinseed have killed it for me

    • @captainobvious3317
      @captainobvious3317 9 лет назад

      Lucky Craft Pointer dominates the bass fishing scene. It outsells and out fishes all others combined. You won't buy them because they cost twice as much and you can't do the math. ;)

  • @brycerush98
    @brycerush98 10 лет назад

    Could you do a rapala series with a lot of those lures like the jointed, countdown, original, husky jerk etc. or an xrap series with the x rap line of lures.

    @wildangler6657 4 года назад

    when casting, x rap does not fly like a torpedo, but scrolls a little in the air. is this normal or is it a marriage? after all, the wobbler must have a long-distance casting system

    • @emiltjonneland721
      @emiltjonneland721 7 лет назад

      I have fished it heavily so i might be a goner unless the water doesn't effect the lure

    • @KevinBullington
      @KevinBullington  7 лет назад

      +Emil Tjonneland I would say the lure is probably toast. As far as the durability of the lure goes, they have been pretty good to me in my experience. I've only had one or two of them break.

    • @emiltjonneland721
      @emiltjonneland721 7 лет назад

      Thanks for the feedback. I tried it out on the water today its definitely toast it does a fast nose dive on the pause.
