Rapala X-Light Minnow Crankbaits 5cm 0.6–0.9m 4g GHSH (Ghost Shinner)

Rapala X-Light Minnow – Cast Far, Catch More in Ultralight Fishing

The X-Light Minnow sets a new benchmark for ultralight hard baits, combining exceptional casting distance with an irresistible slow-sinking minnow action that performs even in challenging currents.

Reach Distant Hotspots with Ease

Despite its compact 5 cm size, the X-Light Minnow features optimised weight distribution that sends this 4 g lure flying to far-off spots other ultralight baits simply cannot reach. Target wary fish holding in cover without spooking them on approach.

Maintains Action in Current

The L-shaped diving lip keeps the rolling and kicking swimming action stable even in heavy currents, making the X-Light Minnow an excellent choice for stream and river fishing. At a running depth of 0.6–0.9 m, it works the prime strike zone where trout and perch lurk.

• Ghost Shinner (GHSH): Subtle, translucent baitfish pattern ideal for clear water and cautious fish
