Rapala Maxrap Crankbaits MXR17 17cm 0.3–0.9m 28g BSBL

Rapala MaxRap MXR17 BSBL – Maximum Casting Distance for Aggressive Predators

The 17 cm MaxRap in Live Baby Sea Bass colour combines an aerodynamic body with an internal tungsten-ball weight system for exceptional casting performance and pinpoint accuracy.

Premium Distance and Precision

Equipped with the patented MaxCast mechanism, this lure achieves remarkable casting distances even in challenging wind conditions. Tungsten ball balancing ensures the bait flies true and lands exactly where you aim, making it ideal for covering expansive water.

Versatile Action That Triggers Strikes

Rip the MaxRap through the water column for a darting, erratic escape action, or use a steady retrieve to produce the classic wounded-minnow Rapala wobble. The suspending design lets you pause mid-retrieve, keeping the lure in the strike zone while hesitant predators commit.

Choose the Right Variant

The MaxRap series spans four sizes and numerous colour patterns to match local baitfish and conditions:

• 11 cm / 13 g – finesse applications, lighter tackle, smaller forage profiles

• 13 cm / 15 g – versatile mid-size for varied species and water clarity

• 15 cm / 23 g – increased presence for larger predators or moderate current

• 17 cm / 28 g (MXR17) – maximum casting range and bold profile for open water, strong current, or trophy-class fish; includes colour BSBL (Live Baby Sea Bass)
