Rapala X-Rap Jointed Shad Crankbaits 13cm 46g Blue Shad

Rapala X-Rap Jointed Shad — Slow-Rising Jointed Wobbler for Pike & Zander

The Rapala X-Rap Jointed Shad (XJS) is a 13 cm, 46 g jointed crankbait built to trigger predators when a slow, lifelike presentation makes all the difference. In Blue Shad, it delivers a natural baitfish profile that pike and zander find hard to ignore.

Seductive Action at Low Retrieve Speeds

The two-piece jointed body generates an enticing, wide-swinging tail action even at a slow crawl — ideal when fish are lethargic or holding tight to cover. The slow-rising buoyancy keeps the lure in the strike zone during pauses, giving predators every chance to commit.

Built-In Flash and Realism

A translucent body with internal holographic detailing scatters light in every direction, mimicking the shimmer of a real baitfish. Combined with 3D eyes and a realistic Blue Shad finish, the lure presents a convincing target under a wide range of light and water conditions.
