Rapala X-Rap Twitchin Shad 8cm 13g 0.3–0.6m HAY

Rapala X-Rap Twitchin' Shad – Subsurface Walk-the-Dog Action for Predators

This slow-sinking twitch bait delivers an exceptionally wide walk-the-dog action just below the surface, triggering aggressive strikes from ambush predators in shallow cover.

Reach Fish in Tight Spaces

The controlled slow-sinking design lets you glide the X-Rap Twitchin' Shad into weed pockets, shallow depressions, and structure edges where predators lie in wait. Pause the retrieve and let gravity do the work—the lure drops enticingly into the strike zone.

Premium Construction for Reliable Performance

The translucent X-style body creates a lifelike appearance, enhanced by holographic 3D eyes that catch light and attention. Two VMC Black Nickel round bend treble hooks (#4) ensure solid hookups when fish commit.
