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

Rapala MaxRap MXR17 – Maximum Casting Distance for Aggressive Predators

The 17 cm MaxRap combines an aerodynamic profile with the patented MaxCast mechanism to deliver exceptional casting distances and a versatile action that triggers strikes from pike, zander, and sea bass.

Reach Distant Hotspots with Ease

Tungsten ball balancing and the internal MaxCast system shift weight rearward during the cast, allowing you to place the lure precisely where wary predators hold—even in strong headwinds. Once in the water, the weight returns to centre for a balanced, lifelike swim.

Two Actions in One Lure

Rip the rod tip and the MaxRap darts erratically, imitating a panicked baitfish. Switch to a steady retrieve and it produces the classic Rapala wounded-minnow wobble with intense flash from internal laser-etched scales and holographic eyes. On the pause it suspends, giving hesitant fish time to commit.

Choose the Right Variant

The MaxRap series spans four sizes and numerous colour patterns so you can match local forage and fishing conditions.

• 11 cm / 13 g / #6 hooks – finesse presentations, lighter tackle, calmer conditions

• 13 cm / 15 g / #6 hooks – versatile mid-size for varied species and water clarity

• 15 cm / 23 g / #4 hooks – balanced option when fish prefer a larger profile

• 17 cm / 28 g / #4 hooks – MXR17 MUL (current product): maximum casting range, big-fish focus, open water or heavy current

• Colours such as MUL (Live Mullet), Flake Blue, High Speed, Live Blue Sardine, and Flake Red Head let you adapt to light levels and baitfish species
