X Rap

[LoneStar]

Took 2 of the g-kids out today with 2 new x-raps, gold and hot steel, they managed to get hung up and lose them before I even got rigged up........ sure made a good test of my patience and temper lemme tell ya!  Sure can't blame them, it has to be the instructor!

[devil-man]

I am going to put them to the test today. All day if necessary.
My friend Scott and I are heading out in about an hour. I know where the fish are.
Will report later...

Good luck with the xrap today devil-man, hope to hear and see some nice bass or pike off the rap.

I picked mine up back in March or so, but it'll get its first real test this week.

Went out yesterday to try to catch some walleyes on them. I was fishing during the day with a gitzit tube and on my 3rd cast when it was hailing I caught a 17" walleye. After the storm stopped I caught an 18" walleye on a little cleo and a 12" walleye on a rattletrap so I knew the fish were biting. I wanted to make an opinion of the x-rap for good. I used it for 2 hours (including after dark) with nothing to show for it. I finally snagged it up on the rocks and lost it. Good riddance to that lure I'm not buying another. I wish they would make the risto rap and rattlin' fat rap again!

Possibly one of the hottest introductions by Rapala in their history.....they are all great....but the X is hot.......can't see why anyone would not catch fish with this one.....Grump

Well, no fish on the X yesterday. I do like it, but it hasn't come through for me yet.

Too bad...sounds like what  happened to me using it for 3 full days almost now not catching anything on it when other presentations worked. Hopefully it comes through for you though!

It's the first lure I put on for the bass opener last weekend, and the first lure I lost. Lucky for me I was given one for  as a gift not two days after losing mine....So i'm ready to give her another go

[devil-man]

I fished the X again yesterday for about an hour. Nothing.
Put on a DT-10 and hooked into a 31" pike almost immediately.
Same color pattern (perch).
I don't get it. This bait has great action and the fish haven't seen it before, maybe I didn't get it deep enough.

I have been noticing that it works only on certian bodies of water better than others. Seems to really depened on what thier forage.

I don't like the DT either, what a poor replacement for the risto rap and fat rap IMO
