Answer: I dont have my tackle with me now to check but i would say about 5in

Answer: 4 1/2" lure.

Answer: Around 4 inches

How deep does it run?

Answer: I have fished it in 10' of water with good results, but it does have a small lip so it will only go so deep. Cast it, crank like a bastard to get it down and retrieve. There is on problem with them other being pricey and that is the diving lip is so cheap that if you bottom it, it breaks. I will NEVER buy another one of these again.

Answer: Buy weighted line

Is it recommended to fish from piers/jetties?

Answer: If they are close to water level then yes, but if you are 30-50 feet above water level, the lure will not be able to dive to the desired depths. If you are much higher than the water level, try using an Acme Kastmaster. Those work very well off a pier.

Answer: Didn't work on the pier for me

How do you rig it for pier and inshore fishing? Do you add any weight ? And what leader do you recommend?

Answer:

Answer: Don't add weight. A simple loop knot is ok or a metal clip. The leader would be fluorocarbon and the breaking strain would suit the fish you are targeting. Size 4 is small lure so a lighter leader would be used

Answer: I recommend tying it to 1-2 feet of fluorocarbon leader. Never add weight it will negatively effect the way it swims.

Answer: It's all on how you want to fish. You can tie it in and cast/retrieve as is

Answer: It's good from shore and u cant add any weight for that just tray to get rod light

Answer: tie it to line and troll very slow, got some nice sea trout down in key largo using it

Product reviews of Rapala X-Rap Saltwater Fishing Lure

Amazon Customer : Five Stars

Excellent

Jose : Good Experience.

Good Experience.

Grant Elliott : Money, multi species lure

These are a go to lure. I've caught numerous species all up and down the east coast with xraps but particularly this small shallow diver. Seriously, I've caught grouper, mackerel, snapper, mutton, bluefish, Jack crevalle, and stripers. I caught 28 stripers in an hour trolling these on a warm day in February on the Chesapeake Bay.

Emma : Great Action

Was a great addition to gulf fishing tackle on slow days. The lure has great action and really can't pull in even the most unwilling fish.

Richard S. : Excellent top water twitch bait

Excellent lure with realistic swim action. makes the fish go crazy. Hooks are sharp and replaceable. Iridescent colors mimic natural bait fish. great for trolling or casting. use these on the west coast of Florida for redfish and sea trout.

Gary : It works but not great

This doesn’t seems good compare to other color

Jonathan Olivares : Five Stars

Cool

Samuel Smith : Great

Got a snook and two ladyfish, first day using it.

Jose David Aristizabal Gil : Five Stars

Excellent

Cliente de Amazon : Muy buen movimiento a profundidades de hasta metro y medio

Muy buen movimiento a profundidades de hasta metro y medio. Es un buen señuelo rígido tiene buen movimiento en la parte de abajo del agua y se recobra de buena forma, no lo utilices en lugares donde haya algas o plantas o piedras en el interior del mar, porque es muy susceptible a que se pueda enredar

Arin : great for saltwater

Used this lure for the first time today and landed a Spanish mackerel and 2 king mackerel casting into bait pods. Just came back to order some more.

Grant Elliott : Money, multi species lure

Maurice Ferguson : Best lure

If bass don’t eat this lure they’re not there.
Best lure in my lifetime. 100%

seerock : A+ but Could be heavier for Salt water fishing

Nowadays, at least in the Delaware surf..the problem is not the lures

It is the lack of fish...

I like Rapala...BUT

I wish it was a little heavier/ bigger for Salt water....at least for surf casting

Nicholas z. : Striper candy

I love this, caught a bincha stripers.

Juan F. : Great action lure.

Great action in the water, bonito fish loved it.

Ivan Loncar : Five Stars

Good product, looking good and packed good. Not try it yet but will soon!

Mike C. : It looks like a mackerel in the water and gets hits from bonito and larger mackerel and barracuda

I drag it (troll) behind my kayak at about 2 - 2.5 mph (southern CA ocean) and it works great!

Tico : great action, suspends perfectly

Used once so far: great action, suspends perfectly, cast fairly far, yet I caught no fish. I will update when I can provide more information on its effectiveness. This review is about the shad (green/silver) model.

martha j. : Go to plug in the fall

Great lure! I have caught speckled trout redfish bluefish and spanish mackeral with it at diffrent times will have to niy a new one soon this one looks like its been through a woodchipper lol

T. Ndi : ????

Juan F. : Great action lure.

M. Long : Snook Buster!

Well I caught this 12-15 lb snook on the third cast so I think this lure works...

Khaledadam : Five Stars

Good for saltwater

Jose : Good Experience.

Good Experience.

D. Osuna : Good Job Amazon... (said Sarcastically)

Ok, so The lure itself is great! Got it for saltwater fishing and the fish were biting today.
Im not going to complain about the seller and all that but I will say that I was expecting 10 lures and when I opened the box (bigger than a shoe box) I got 1 ONE lure. I contacted customer service to figure out what happened. Yes you are SUPPOSED to receive 10 TEN lures. Fortunately amazon did fix the problem.

floyd Anderson : Five Stars

privado : Five Stars

Maurice Ferguson : Best lure

If bass don’t eat this lure they’re not there.

pinga : Five Stars

Emma : Great Action

Was a great addition to gulf fishing tackle on slow days. The lure has great action and really can't pull in even the most unwilling fish.

S. Ikesaki : where is the vendor getting these prices

i was searching for a great deal on some lures and these showed up in a section that was supposed to be 75% off or more ... well after looking at other sites etc .. i dont know where the vendor is getting their "regular price" ...some of these lures are showing at over 57.99 for one lure? I am assuming the deal is for only one lure as it does not say how many lures are in each order.

Although in product description it shows shipping weight in ounces so I am assuming it is for single lures ... if so then it is no deal ..same pricing as bass pro and cabelas etc ....

Very deceptive ad and no where to contact the vendor that I could see for an easy question.

I looked and the gami hooks and owner hooks are also listed like this ...

TCC : Yep, catches fish.

The olive green rapala caught a few Spanish mackerel for me.

Winter : well built

I get a good chuckle from reviews thinking this lure is no good because they didn't catch fish with it. Well, neither did I but it's still getting 5 stars because it seems to be well built and did put up with a good does of abuse when I accidentally didn't secure the hook to the rod and took off down the highway in my Jeep after leaving the beach. The poor thing flopped and banged around for a good 10 miles but was still in fine shape. Give it a try, there is a fish out there who will find it interesting.

Matthew V. : Five Stars

Great for stripers

Owen : I definitely recommend it. Hopefully it will last

Got my first fish within 5 min :) Actually never expected it to work so well. I definitely recommend it. Hopefully it will last.

Jer2911 : Works

Bonita and Mackerel hit while trolling in the Santa Barbara Channel

CameronC : Great lure

There isn't much to say about the XRap. It is a classic that works. I mainly catch snook and jacks on it but tarpon have been known to partake.

Elias Studawg : Snook Candy

A tough solid lure that doesn’t chip like other plugs. Has strong hooks as well. Has a nice erratic side to side action you can feel it swim. In my experience, this plug has been the most effective ar catching Snook... I caught my PB with it. Favorite colors are orange yellow and the pink because it seems to trigger strikes at night! Can’t go wrong with the OG color either.

M. Belken : Works

Replaces another stolen by bull redfish/ snook. Retie often.

Gerald simonetti : Five Stars
