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

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

This compact 5 cm minnow wobbler delivers outstanding casting distance despite its lightweight 4 g body, reaching spots other ultralight lures simply cannot.

Upgraded Weight Distribution for Long Casts

The X-Light Minnow features an optimised weight distribution that allows you to cast this miniature lure further than you would expect. Cover more water and target fish holding in distant pockets without sacrificing lure control.

Reliable Action in Strong Currents

Equipped with an L-shaped diving lip, this slow-sinking crankbait maintains its enticing rolling and kicking minnow action even when retrieved through heavy currents. This makes it an excellent choice for fishing streams, creeks, and rivers where flow can disrupt lesser lures.
