Rapala X-Rap Haku Jerkbait Artistic Burbot

Rapala X-Rap Haku — Jerkbait Built for Pike, in Artistic Burbot

The Rapala X-Rap Haku is a hard-bodied jerkbait engineered specifically for pike fishing, combining a weed-deflecting hook system with an irresistible gliding action. In the Artistic Burbot finish, it presents a compelling burbot silhouette that pike find hard to ignore.

Snag-Resistant Hook System That Stays in the Fight

The hook rig sits recessed in a belly groove along the lure's body, shielding the hooks from weeds, submerged stumps, and other underwater obstacles. On the strike, the rig pivots away from the body instantly, creating direct contact with the fish and significantly reducing the chance of losing a hooked pike mid-fight.

Two Retrieve Styles, One Decisive Gliding Action

A sharp rod jerk produces a fast, tight side-to-side snap — ideal for triggering aggressive, reaction strikes. Switching to a stop-and-go retrieve lets the bait glide on a longer, slower arc, perfectly imitating a disoriented or fleeing prey fish. A brisk wind-in between pauses heightens the impression of an escaping baitfish, covering both active and neutral pike.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 14 cm, 74 g body, 3/0 VMC hooks, and gliding action. Choose your colour based on water clarity, light conditions, and local prey species:

• Artistic Burbot — natural burbot pattern; ideal where burbot share the water with pike, or for pressured fish in clear conditions

• Battle Scars — a distressed natural finish that suggests a wounded baitfish; versatile in clear to lightly coloured water

• Live Perch — realistic perch imitation; a go-to wherever perch are key prey

• Hot Tiger Pike — high-contrast tiger pattern; effective in stained or low-visibility water

• Bright Parrot — bold multicolour; strong visual trigger in dark or murky conditions

• 5W-50UV — UV-active finish; designed for deep water or very low light

• Twilight Zone — dark, subtle tones; suited to overcast days and dawn/dusk sessions

• Scaled Roach — natural roach finish; classic choice on waters with roach populations

• Blue Ghost — translucent blue; works well in clear water under bright light

• Smelt On The Beach — smelt-inspired pattern; effective on waters with smelt as primary forage
