Rapala X-Rap Haku Jerkbait Battle Scars

Rapala X-Rap Haku — Battle Scars — Weed-Shedding Pike Jerkbait

The Rapala X-Rap Haku is a purpose-built pike jerkbait with a hook system designed to stay clean through weeds and strike hard when it counts. At 14 cm and 74 g, the Battle Scars finish delivers a battered-baitfish look that triggers predatory instincts.

Recessed Hook System Keeps You Fishing Longer

The hook rig sits flush in a belly groove, shielding it from aquatic vegetation, submerged branches, and other snags. On the take, the rig swings free of the body to put the hook in direct contact with the fish — reducing dropoffs and keeping you fishing instead of clearing weed.

Versatile Gliding Action on Any Retrieve

A sharp rod twitch sends the Haku into a fast, wide side-to-side dart, while a Stop & Go retrieve produces a longer, more seductive glide. Speeding up the reel between pauses imitates a fleeing prey fish — a trigger that few pike can ignore. The impact-resistant ABS body holds up to the punishment of repeated strikes and casting.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 14 cm / 74 g profile and 3/0 VMC® 4551 Coastal Black hooks. Color choice can make a real difference depending on water clarity, light conditions, and local forage.

• Battle Scars — worn, natural baitfish finish; effective in clear to lightly stained water for pike targeting pressured venues

• Live Perch — realistic perch pattern; great for mixed-predator venues with perch as forage

• Hot Tiger Pike — high-contrast orange/yellow; ideal for coloured water or low-light sessions

• Bright Parrot — vivid attractor colour; works well in murky conditions or when fish need a visual trigger

• 5W-50UV — UV-enhanced finish; suited to deep or very dark water

• Twilight Zone — dark, subtle scheme; dusk, dawn, or overcast days

• Scaled Roach — roach-pattern; natural choice where roach dominate the food chain

• Blue Ghost — translucent blue; open water or clear-water reservoirs

• Artistic Burbot — burbot-inspired pattern; cold-water fishing where burbot are local prey

• Smelt On The Beach — smelt pattern; ideal for venues with a smelt population
