Rapala MaxRap Long Range Minnow 12cm 1.2m 22g Flake Anchovy

Rapala MaxRap Long Range Minnow – Extreme Casting Distance for Demanding Conditions

When you need to reach distant feeding fish in wind or surf, the MaxRap Long Range Minnow delivers where other lures fall short. Its patented MaXCast weight transfer system and aerodynamic profile launch this 12 cm minnow farther than virtually any competitor.

Reach Fish Others Can't

The tungsten ball balancing system combined with Rapala's patented MaXCast mechanism generates exceptional casting accuracy and distance. Whether you're battling headwinds on an exposed coastline or need to cover vast stretches of water, this slow-sinking minnow gets you into the strike zone when it matters most.

Versatile Presentation Options

Despite being built for aggressive, fast retrieves, the MaxRap Long Range Minnow excels at slower presentations too. The strong rolling action creates an enticing flash from the internal holographic foil and natural scale pattern, while low retrieval resistance keeps you fishing longer without fatigue. Pause it and it sinks slowly—perfect for triggering strikes from hesitant predators.
