I have caught salmon on the Hot Head and pink colors of Rapala X-Raps. They seem to like the tail feather on the back hook a lot. I have a lot of different colors of X-Raps so what I did was put orange tail feather hooks on the X-Raps I use for salmon since spawn is orange. It works great in the Grand River, Muskegon River, and Manistee Rivers in Michigan.Images for this Answer

How does the X-rap compare to the Bomber Pro Suspending Long A? I'm asking because the Long A is considerably cheaper ($3+ cheaper) and reviews are just as positive as reviews on the X-rap. Both of these plugs dive about the same depth but the 3 1/2 inch suspending Long A is an 1/8 oz heavier. Would the suspending Long A be a better search bait from shore? Which has better castability?Answers
A:
the bomber does not have even close to as good an action as the rapala the rapala has much more vibration and the bomber long A has almost no mouvment inless you really jerk it hard

GET THE X RAP. You know the old saying you get what u pay for. The x raps work try the clown and silver colors trust me u will not be sorry!
Top 10 Contributor
A:
the x-rap is because it has an ability to be fished in different ways. enjoy this lureDetails:
i was fishing with it today, my second day using it, and it was sinking. i picked it up to notice that it was ready to break in half so i stopped using it. there is a large crack running almost all around it. i spent almost 10 dollars on it so i was wondering if there was a way to fix it. if you dont know how would you be able to tell me if bass pro will give me another or list a more durable bait. thank you!Answers
A:
If your fishing rocks dont get that one ever again. that will allways happen with this. helygo cheap get some good price square bill bomber or something around that. i hope i could somehow.

A:
Normally those X-Raps can handle a lot of stress unless they hit something really hard so it must have been a rare one that was weak for some reason. I do extremely well on both the freshwater X-Raps & saltwater X-Raps for largemouth, smallmouth, and pike in lakes & rivers in Michigan. Call Bass Pro and they are very nice about helping people. Saltwater X-Raps should be tougher and not seen by fish as often if you wanted to look them up and replace it with one of them, or get a regular X-Rap in your favorite color. I have about 40 X-Raps between fresh & saltwater in 4 sizes and 6 colors that work well anywhere I go fishing.Images for this Answer

I'm fishing in water with 2 feet of visibility.Answers
A:
yes hot head is fine another great color is hot pinkA:
Try PURPLE PAINTER for muddy water; it should do fine
Top 10 Contributor
A:
its great for that situation because it has a bright finish which is easier to see.A:
Ya a good bright color such as hot head is good for murky water. The action of this bait should catch the fish. But when in very muddy water you want a bright colored bait so the fish can locate it easier

Yes or even parrot I use the clown color a lot down in Texas they eat it up try clown or parrotAnswers

A:
reel it and jerk it at a slow pace or a fast pace. give it some pauses too.A:
On the Troll...A:
Sharp twitches to make it dart in the water and let it sit still for a second or two between twitches.A:
I fish with 3-5' sweeps of the rod tip. They have great action!
Top 500 Contributor
A:
The best way to fish an X-rap is with a jerk- stop retrieve, but a constant retrieve works too.A:
You can just recovery the line continuously or make some rod tip work, both ways are effective.A:
I like to twitch & retrieve (erratic movements are deadly) andstop-n-go, but you can try your own. Basses are never the same.

depends how large 04 good with spinning and any line smaller than #6. 06 still spinning 08 probably baitcast.A:
I generall use a fairly light outfit fishing the tidal creeks here in Queensland. I have a 6.5 rod rated 6-14lb that i use with a Penn 3000 reel loaded with 8lb braid. I also use a 7' rod rated at 4-10lb with a Shimano 2500 size reel loaded with 6lb braid. If I'm fishing tight into structure I use 6' Penn tournament rod with a Daiwa Sol baitcaster loaded with 15lb braid. All these outfits are for fishing the X-rap 8.A:
i use a bass pro shops crankin stick with a Quantum pt energy 5:1 with 50 pound braid

A:
10lb test mono, baitcasting reel, and a trigger rod.

A:
Nothing works better than braid to give this bait extreme action. I use a fairly stiff graphite rod and a spinning reel spooled with 15 pound power pro. The braid and the stiff rod really make this lure dance.A:
I use an abu revo with a 14 lbs. rod loaded wiht powerpro 20 lbs for the size 8 and a shimano curado 200E7 with a 17 lbs. rod loaded with powerpro 30lbs for the size 10.Answers
A:
i find you dont even need them unless your fishing for smaller fish or walley
Top 10 Contributor
A:
i keep it on because it gives the lure a good action.
Top 1000 Contributor
A:
Yes. I either cut them off or take the hook off and replace it. I may use the feathered hook on a different type of lure. Although, pike and bass may hit that, trout aren't fooled by it. There is no minnow out there swimming with feathers!A:
No, in fact the are interesting for the peacocks here in Brazil.A:
No I don't, but basses will eventually do it for you.

no the feathers are for decoration and attract fishAnswers

I would have to say that hot steel is a good color for bass and pike. I have that color in the xr08 and it works fine. I fish it in a lake that is crystal clear and it has caught me many fish.1 of 1
