Rapala X-Light Minnow Crankbaits FNM05 5cm 0.6–0.9m 4g AYU

Rapala X-Light Minnow – The New Standard for Ultralight Casting

The X-Light Minnow sets a benchmark for modern ultralight lures, combining exceptional casting distance with irresistible swimming action for stream and river fishing.

Cast Further, Catch More

Despite its compact 5 cm size, the X-Light Minnow features an optimised weight distribution that allows you to reach distant spots with precision. The 4 g body flies true even on light tackle, opening up areas that smaller lures typically cannot reach.

Stream-Proven Action That Triggers Strikes

The slow-sinking X-Light Minnow delivers a perfectly rolling and kicking minnow action, even at slow retrieve speeds. Its L-shaped diving lip ensures the lure maintains its enticing movement in heavy currents, making it an excellent choice for fishing streams and rivers where stability matters.
