Rapala MaxRap Long Range Minnow 12cm 22g Flake Blue Sardine

Rapala MaxRap Long Range Minnow — Cast Further, Reach More Fish

The Rapala MaxRap Long Range Minnow is a saltwater casting minnow engineered for serious distance and a strong rolling action that triggers predators even in tough sea conditions.

Built for Maximum Casting Distance

At 12 cm and 22 g, this hard bait features an aerodynamic profile combined with Rapala's MaXCast (Maximum Cast) weight transfer system, which uses tungsten balls to shift weight toward the tail during the cast. The result is a stable, long-distance trajectory even into a headwind or during rain — giving you access to feeding zones that shorter-casting lures simply cannot reach.

Effective at Any Retrieval Speed

The Flake Blue Sardine finish pairs holographic foil with detailed scale relief for an intense flash that mimics the natural appearance of sardines at depth. The lure produces its strong rolling action during aggressive retrieves and fast twitching, but also performs well on a slow, steady wind — making it versatile across different presentations and target species. VMC Needle Sharp inline hooks and an oval line-tie split ring complete a setup built for reliable hook-ups in saltwater.
