No. It sinks slowly and has a stated running depth of 0.3–0.6 m. Pauses let it drop into small depressions and weed gaps, so use them as part of a glide-and-drop presentation rather than expecting it to suspend.
Only the colour changes within this family. Every variant is 8 cm long, weighs 13 g, runs at 0.3–0.6 m and sinks slowly. Select your preferred pattern without changing those specifications, as no colour-specific fishing conditions are stated.
It is intended for active predator lure fishing, including pike and large perch. Its wide subsurface walk-the-dog action and slow sinking support twitching with pauses, including a slower presentation for less active fish.
Yes, two size #4 VMC Black Nickel treble hooks are fitted. Their exposed points require careful handling. Use pliers when fitting or removing the lure, check for damage before use and store it in a closed, dry lure box away from children.

The Rapala X-Rap Twitchin' Shad is a hardbait for active predator lure fishing, including pike and large perch. Its wide walk-the-dog action and slow sinking let you combine lateral movement with pauses rather than relying on a fast retrieve.
Every colour in this family measures 8 cm, weighs 13 g and has a stated running depth of 0.3–0.6 m. Twitch the lure to produce its broad, subsurface walking action, then pause to let it sink slowly. The glide-and-drop presentation lets you work small depressions and gaps in weed beds where predators wait for prey. A slow retrieve with stops also suits less active fish. Slow sinking means the lure drops during a pause, it does not suspend in place.
The series has a translucent X-style body, holographic 3D eyes and good casting characteristics. Two size #4 VMC Black Nickel treble hooks provide the hooking points, with the manufacturer describing round-bend hooks. The exposed hooks require careful handling, including when fishing around vegetation.
The variants differ in colour, not length, weight, running depth or sinking behaviour. Choose from Halloween, Blue Ghost, Firetiger, Haymaker, Hot Perch, Hot Tiger Pike, Live Perch, Live Roach, Glassy Gill UV, Mirror Carp, Olive Green and Scaled Roach. Manufacturer colour codes are supplied for Halloween (HLW), Firetiger (FT), Haymaker (HAY) and Live Roach (ROL). No colour-specific water conditions or performance differences are stated, so choose the pattern you want without expecting a change in presentation.
Inspect the body, hooks and connections before use and do not fish a damaged lure. Use pliers when fitting or removing it and keep the hooks away from people, clothing and animals. Store it in a separate, closed lure box and keep the box dry to help prevent hook rust. Keep it away from unsupervised children and use it only for fishing in accordance with local rules.
