Rapala X-Light Minnow Crankbaits 5cm 0.6–0.9m 4g GGIU

Rapala X-Light Minnow – The New Ultralight Standard for Stream Fishing

A compact 5 cm slow-sinking minnow engineered for exceptional casting distance and a lifelike rolling-and-kicking action that triggers strikes even at the slowest retrieve speeds.

Reach Distant Hotspots with Ease

Despite its miniature 4 g frame, the X-Light Minnow features an optimised weight distribution that lets you launch this ultralight bait well beyond typical casting ranges. Cover more water and place your lure exactly where wary fish are holding.

Holds Its Action in Strong Currents

The L-shaped diving lip keeps the lure swimming true even when you're working faster-flowing streams or rivers. At a running depth of 0.6–0.9 m, the X-Light Minnow stays in the productive strike zone while maintaining its enticing minnow action.

Choose the Right Variant

The X-Light Minnow 5 cm 4 g range offers multiple colour patterns to match local forage and water conditions:

• GGIU – subtle natural finish; effective in clear water and bright conditions

• Pink Clown – high-visibility attractor colour for stained or murky water

• Ghost Shiner – translucent profile ideal for finicky fish in pressured waters

• Fire Tiger (FT) – classic contrast pattern for low-light and coloured water

• Ayu (AYU) – natural sweetfish finish; excellent for trout streams

• Clown (CLN) – bold attractor scheme for aggressive fish
