Rapala MaxRap Long Range Minnow 12cm 1.2m 22g Live Ayu

Rapala MaxRap Long Range Minnow – Extreme Casting Distance for Saltwater Predators

When you need to reach distant feeding zones in challenging wind conditions, this aerodynamic minnow delivers the casting performance you're looking for.

Patented MaXCast Weight Transfer for Maximum Distance

The internal tungsten ball system combined with Rapala's patented MaXCast mechanism shifts weight rearward during the cast, giving you exceptional accuracy and distances that outperform conventional lures. The aerodynamic body profile cuts through headwinds with ease.

Versatile Action from Aggressive to Subtle

A pronounced rolling action triggers strikes on fast retrieves, while the slow-sinking behaviour on pauses appeals to cautious predators. Low retrieve resistance and responsive twitching let you vary your presentation throughout the session.
