Rapala Flash-X Skitter 22cm 33g SBM

Rapala Flash-X Skitter 22cm 33g SBM – Needlefish Imitation for Explosive Saltwater Strikes

Built to soar across vast distances and skitter enticingly over the surface, the Flash-X Skitter perfectly mimics fleeing needlefish – a prey no saltwater predator can resist.

Maximum Casting Range for Open Water

The tapered prismatic body cuts through the air with minimal resistance, allowing you to reach distant feeding zones where trophy fish hunt. The metalized coating catches sunlight above and below the waterline, sending out intense flash signals that draw predators from afar.

Stability at High Speed

The unique prism design doubles as a keel, keeping the head up and the action consistent even during aggressive, fast retrieves. Simply cast out and crank rapidly – the Flash-X Skitter responds with a lifelike skittering motion across the surface that triggers violent reaction strikes.
