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

Rapala MaxRap MXR17 FRH — Maximum Casting Distance for Aggressive Predators

The 17 cm MaxRap delivers extreme casting range and versatile action that triggers strikes from wary fish in shallow water.

Unmatched Casting Performance

The patented MaxCast mechanism combined with tungsten ball balancing and an aerodynamic body profile launches this lure to distances other hardbaits cannot reach. Cover more water and target fish holding far from shore or boat without spooking them.

Dual-Action Versatility

Rip the MaxRap hard for erratic, darting movements that provoke reaction strikes, or use a steady retrieve to produce the classic wounded-minnow Rapala wobble with intense flash. The suspending behaviour on pause lets hesitant fish commit.

Choose the Right Variant

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

• 11 cm / 13 g / #6 hooks — finesse presentations, smaller bass, trout, light saltwater species

• 13 cm / 15 g / #6 hooks — versatile mid-size option for pike, zander, sea bass

• 15 cm / 23 g / #4 hooks — bigger profile for medium-to-large predators, moderate casting distance

• 17 cm / 28 g / #4 hooks — MXR17 FRH (Flake Red Head): maximum casting distance, large pike, striped bass, bluefish; ideal when big baitfish are present
