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

Rapala MaxRap MXR17 – Maximum Casting Distance for Big Predators

The 17 cm MaxRap delivers exceptional range and triggers aggressive strikes with its erratic, flash-heavy action in the shallow zone.

Unmatched Casting Performance

The patented MaxCast mechanism combined with tungsten ball balancing and an aerodynamic body shape lets you reach distant hunting grounds other lures simply cannot cover. Whether fishing from shore or boat, those extra metres often make the difference.

Versatile Retrieve Options

Rip the MaxRap hard for a darting, wild searching action that provokes reaction bites, or use a steady retrieve to produce the classic wounded-minnow Rapala wobble. On the pause it suspends, giving hesitant predators time to commit.

Choose the Right Variant

The MaxRap series spans four sizes (11 cm, 13 cm, 15 cm, 17 cm) in various colour patterns. Match the model to your target species and conditions:

• 11 cm / 13 g – Finesse presentations for perch, smaller pike, or cautious sea bass; ideal in calm, clear water

• 13 cm / 15 g – Versatile mid-size option for pike, zander, and coastal predators

• 15 cm / 23 g – Balanced choice when targeting larger pike or sea bass in moderate currents

• 17 cm / 28 g (MXR17 FS – Flake Silver) – Big profile for trophy pike, large sea bass, or open-water pelagics; excels when maximum casting distance and a bold flash pattern are required
