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

Rapala X-Light Minnow – Ultralight Precision for Stream Fishing

The X-Light Minnow sets a new benchmark for ultralight lures, delivering exceptional casting distance and an irresistible slow-sinking action that triggers strikes even in the most cautious fish.

Cast Further, Fish Smarter

Despite its compact 5 cm body and mere 4 g weight, the X-Light Minnow features optimised weight distribution that lets you reach distant spots other ultralight lures simply cannot. Whether you're working a tight stream corridor or targeting structure along the far bank, this minnow gets there.

Keeps Working in Current

The L-shaped diving lip maintains the lure's rolling and kicking swimming action even in heavy currents. Running at 0.6–0.9 m depth, it stays in the strike zone while delivering a lifelike minnow presentation that remains stable where lesser lures would falter.

Choose the Right Variant

The X-Light Minnow FNM05 is available in multiple colour patterns to match local forage and water conditions:

• CLN – Versatile natural pattern for clear water and cautious fish

• Live Roach (ROL) – Realistic roach imitation for European predators
