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

Rapala MaxRap MXR17 – Maximum Casting Distance Meets Irresistible Action

The 17 cm MaxRap in Flake Blue delivers premium performance for anglers targeting predators in shallow water down to 0.9 m. Its patented MaxCast mechanism and tungsten ball weighting achieve exceptional casting distances with pinpoint accuracy.

Extreme Casting Range for Greater Coverage

The aerodynamic body profile combined with the internal MaxCast system propels this 28 g lure far beyond conventional hard baits. Tungsten ball balancing ensures stable flight and accurate placement, letting you reach distant structures and feeding zones that other lures cannot.

Dual Retrieve Action Triggers Strikes

Rip the MaxRap aggressively for a darting, erratic search pattern that provokes reaction strikes from wary fish. Alternatively, a steady retrieve produces the classic wounded-minnow Rapala wobble with intense flash from the internal holofoil and laser-etched scales. The suspending behaviour on pause adds a critical hesitation moment that seals the deal.

Choose the Right Variant

The MaxRap series spans four sizes and multiple colour patterns to match local baitfish and fishing conditions.

• MXR15 (15 cm / 23 g / 3× #4 hooks): Increased weight and hook power for larger pike, striped bass, and open-water predators

• MXR17 (17 cm / 28 g / 3× #4 hooks):Maximum profile and casting distance; built for trophy pike, GT, barracuda, and big saltwater species in Flake Blue (FB)
