This is the best crank bait I have ever used. When I first purchased this, I went fishing in a park down the road from my house. Whiten the first couple of cast I was catching pickerel followed by a 6pound bass and then a huge bowfin. The bowfin took a hunk out of it when I was getting him in, but honestly it made this lure one of a kind. I removed it from my line after unhooking the mud fish thinking it was ruined but on my next fishing trip on lake Marion that was not producing I decided I'd put ol faithful on for another round and although damaged and swimming slightly distraught I started catching fish immediately, and from every species first I nailed a 7pound bass followed by multiple catfish and not small ones either, I landed one cat over 30pounds on this thing. Finally losing it to a huge catfish weighing id estimate over 50pounds. This thing took a beating and kept delivering if my line wouldn't have snapped I'm sure I would still be using it today. I recommend everyone have both this and the shallow models in there tackle box because they really do work in all parks of lake Marion.

The action of these things is simply amazing. A little pricey but they get the job done, especially if you need a slow presentation.

I fish in muddy water so I want to know what color to use.Answers
A:Â
I used the gold model in muddy conditions and had great luck.

A:Â
Bright colors like chartreuse. Spinnerbaits and rattling crankbaits are good in muddy water. Noise is more important than color IMHO.

i use silver and gold colors because they work in clear and stained water!
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
the basic silver color is an excellent color to use for bass.A:Â
In muddy water you want a bait that'll stand out (brighter colors: white chartreuse, maybe firetiger) as opposed to something darker (bronze, pumpkin, etc). Try to at least find a color that resembles baitfish in your specific water source.Answers

yes and when it suspends it triggers fish to bite.

Hi guys, Yes - this bait suspends. It acts just like the x-rap minnow type lures except it is with a shorter shad type body. I love this bait because it is very versital. I can crank it like a typical crankbait or I can rip it fast and make it dart side to side. Just like you would fish a Zara Spook. It is a great compliment to any crank collection. Hope this helps.Images for this Answer

Both should work at different times. Can't go wrong with Rapala.

Both are great! I would use the shad at more active times and the minnow for tighter lipped fish.

What is the best color Rapala X-rap for use in reservoirs of north Mississippi and Oxbow lakes along Mississippi river?
Answers
Top 100 Contributor
A:Â
What are the bass eating? Match the hatch. Buegill, crappie or shad colors probably work best.
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
i would use the silver or gold color because both colors work great in stained or clear water.A:Â
It all depends on the conditions for example if the water is clear you would want to go with a more natural color if it was murky or darker, you might wanna try a bright yellow or anything that's not to natural looking. If its sunny you might also want to use something that will use the sun to your advantage like a silver or gold. Also the bait fish around that area you might want to present something that is close to whatever the species of bait fish that live in those waters.

If stained to muddy, use the darker or chartruse colors, if clear, use the shad (lighter) colors.Details:Â
Is this bait producing with the jerk bait type retrive on the X-rap, or a more standard stop and go retrieve of a crankbait?Answers
Top 100 Contributor
A:Â
Should produce on both types of retrieves.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
i find that a jerk-jerk-jerk-pause retrieve works the best. Pause for about 10-20 sec.
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
Try it both ways and let the bass answer the question.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:Â
It definitely depends on what you're fishing for, but I have had success using this bait as a jerk bait. I have caught many bass and walleye this way. It's great because it suspends in the water when jerking, so it's easy to keep at a certain depth.
Top 500 Contributor
A:Â
I see it produces very little either way, but smallies like a jerkbait type retrieve, and largemouth, either way!Details:Â

I would try number 01 and 68 on the BPS color chart. We've got a one lake in my area that's more clear than most of the others, and I notice the fish in that lake tend to be relatively darker, so the green olive (#68) color in the smaller size matches the forage pretty well.Answers

Running depth between 6' - 11'.

about 3 ft.
Top 10 Contributor
A:Â
Depends on line diameter...the smaller the line, the deeper it runs. This bait is a shallow runner, 3-4 ft at most.A:Â
It dives 6ft to 11ft depending on the speed of your retrieve
A:Â
According to Rapala, they run between 6 and 11 feet.
