X-Rap Joins the IKE Custom Ink Party
OutdoorHub 09.30.14
Slashbait action with Ike’s custom colors? Hold on tight, the fish are going to bite!
Two models of the famed Rapala X-Rap — sizes 8 and 10 — are now available in four brand-new Ike’s Custom Ink color patterns, the brainchild of Michael “Ike” Iaconelli, a Rapala pro and Bassmaster Elite Angler.
The X-Rap is “all about the action,” according to Iaconelli. The versatility of the X-Rap allows an angler to impart a number of fish-catching actions in a single retrieve. What’s more, it casts like a bullet for long, accurate casts.
Productive when fished with an aggressive “Slashbait” technique or with a classic Rapala wobble, the X-Rap gives the angler control of the cadence for maximum effectiveness.
All baits in the X-Rap line are loaded with features from tip to tail, including a textured, translucent body, internal holographic foil, internal long cast system (XR04 excluded), 3D holographic eyes, and flash foil teaser tails. Each is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure top-performing action from the start.
