[@Xaiddy]

So... when do we get the live series in the states?

[@RapalaArmy]

It's already there under the "HD Patterns" name.

So no good in dark water for pike?

[@RapalaArmy]

Really good in stained water for pike! Go with the clown or brighter colour in the darker water. Also, don't be afraid to go with a bigger size in the X-Rap for pike, they love that lure!

@@RapalaArmy I lost a shadow rap 09 last week to some bull rushes had it for years caught me some nice pike 😪

[@RapalaArmy]

@@lexingtonlad5745 That's a killer lure! Sorry to hear that. There's always Rapala.ca if you need to replace!

[@patoh4689]

i catch a lot of pike with it, aggressive pike love the action this lure provides.

[@bradbutcher3984]

I just bought an xrap and now I'm disappointed because it doesn't have feathering on the tail treble.

[@RapalaArmy]

There are many types of X-Raps. What is the product code?

[@TheBUGZNTA]

you can just swap it with one that does.

When i jerk the bait should i be able to feel the bait on my line or have enough slack i dont feel it

[@ItaloLabignan]

Great question, when you pull on your jerk-bait the line should be tight, but the line shoud be slack for a split-second to allow the bait to lunge left, right, or straight ahead. As soon as it's done moving the line needs to be tightened up for the next jerk. If the line is too slack, it won't produce the best action and you may not feel a fish grab and hold it. I would encourage you to try the new Rapala www.rapala.com/rapala/lures/ripstop/ripstop/RipStop.html , which is one of the newest and amazing swimming/lunging twitch/jerk baits Rapala has released...God bless you.
