Rapala Maxrap Crankbaits 17cm 0.3–0.9m 28g

Rapala MaxRap Wobbler 17 cm — Big-Profile Wounded Minnow for Trophy Predators

The MaxRap (Maximum Rapala) 17 cm is built for anglers who want to cast far and fish a large, confidence-inspiring profile in the top metre of the water column. At 28 g it loads a rod effortlessly, yet the internal MaXCast mechanism transfers that weight forward on the cast and then redistributes it during the retrieve for a perfectly balanced, lifelike action.

Cast Further, Cover More Water

The aerodynamic body profile and tungsten-ball MaXCast system work together to push casting distances well beyond what a standard hard bait of this size achieves. Whether you're working open flats, large rivers or reservoir margins, the extra reach lets you prospect water that stays beyond most lures — and the oval line-tie ring transmits rod-tip input directly into the lure with minimal dampening.

Action That Triggers Predators on the Spot

On a straight retrieve the 17 cm body rolls through Rapala's signature wounded-minnow action, imitating a large, distressed baitfish. A sharp twitch sends it darting sideways with frantic, erratic movement — the kind of split-second panic that overrides a predator's caution. Holofoil finish and etched scale detail produce a strong flash in all light conditions, while premium VMC needle-sharp hooks convert follows into firm hookups.

Choose the Right MaxRap Variant

The MaxRap range spans three body lengths, each covering the same 0.3–0.9 m running depth, so you can match profile to target species and conditions without changing your presentation style.
