Rapala Flash-X Skitter 22cm 33g S

Rapala Flash-X Skitter 22cm 33g S – Needlefish Imitation for Explosive Saltwater Topwater Action

The Flash-X Skitter soars through the air and skitters across the surface, perfectly mimicking one of the ocean's most hunted baitfish – the needlefish. Crank it fast and watch saltwater predators lose all restraint.

Impressive Flash Above and Below the Waterline

The tapered prismatic body features a metalized coating that creates intense flash both above and below the surface. This eye-catching reflection triggers aggressive strikes from predatory fish hunting in bright conditions.

Built for Long Casts and High-Speed Retrieves

Engineered for distance, the Flash-X Skitter lets you reach fish feeding far from shore or boat. The prism-shaped body acts as a keel, keeping the head up and maintaining stability even during aggressive, high-speed retrieves. A durable wire-through construction handles big fish and heavy drag pressure with ease.

Choose the Right Variant

All Flash-X Skitter 22 variants share identical size (22 cm), weight (33 g), and hook configuration (#4 & #2 VMC 7556 3X). Your choice comes down to colour pattern and water conditions:

• S (Silver): Classic reflective finish; ideal for clear water and bright days when maximum flash attracts attention

• HDHPU: Holographic purple; effective in low-light or slightly stained water

• HDRHU: Holographic red; stands out when targeting aggressive feeders at dawn or dusk

• AYU: Natural baitfish pattern; suits calm, clear conditions where subtlety matters

• GM: Gold metallic; performs well in murky or overcast situations

• MU: Blue mackerel pattern; mimics common forage species

• MAHI: Tropical colour scheme; triggers reaction strikes from pelagic predators

• SBM: Blue/silver mackerel; versatile open-water option

• SFC: Silver/fluorescent chartreuse; adds visibility in deeper or darker water

• NF: Needlefish natural; closely matches live baitfish appearance

• HDWHU: Holographic white; bright option for high-contrast presentations
