Rapala MaxRap MXR17 — Long-Cast Wobbler That Works at Subsurface Depth

The Rapala MaxRap (Maximum Rapala) MXR17 is a full-sized, 17 cm hard-body wobbler built for anglers who need casting distance and a lifelike subsurface action to tempt predators in shallow to mid-range water.

MaxCast System for Exceptional Distance

Inside the body, tungsten balls shift rearward during the cast using Rapala's MaXCast mechanism, moving the centre of gravity for a flat, stable trajectory. The aerodynamic profile keeps the lure level in flight, so you land it precisely where you aimed — even into a headwind.

Wounded Minnow Action That Triggers Strikes

At a steady retrieve, the MXR17 produces Rapala's classic Wounded Minnow Action in the 0.3–0.9 m zone — a tight, side-to-side wobble that imitates a distressed baitfish. Snap the rod tip and the lure darts erratically to the side, mimicking panic. The holographic foil and scaled finish add flash at every angle, catching available light in stained or clear water alike. The oval line-tie ring allows the lure to move freely and track true on any retrieve speed. Three VMC Needle Sharp inline hooks — size 4 — are positioned for secure hooksets on both short and aggressive strikes.
