The X Rap Legacy (Smallmouth Bass)!

•The Rapala X Rap has proven to be one of the top bait options for catching bass during the cold-water period. Watch Al and Troy Lindner reveal all the nuances of using this fantastic fish producing lure. 

The X-Rap is "all about the action." The versatility of the X-Rap allows an angler to impart a number of fish-catching actions in a single retrieve. Casts like a bullet for long accurate casts. Prominent scales and lateral line on the fuselage capture and flash light like a beacon. It can be fished both in an aggressive "Slashbait" technique or with a classic Rapala wobble. The angler defines the cadence for maximum effectiveness. Loaded with features from tip to tail, textured translucent body, internal holographic foil, internal long cast system (XR04 excluded), 3D holographic eyes, flash foil teaser tails, Slashbait® action, Rapala “wobble” action, suspends on pause. All topped off with premium VMC® black nickel hooks, each hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure top performing action from the start.

Great video! Dad, you have great taste in your rod and reel choice! Love my victory spinning rod! I have 7’3” max tactical one. Daiwa are my got to reels as well! But I got that rod paired with the shimano vanford 3000 cause I got that reel on a great deal. It’s a beautiful setup! And man do I kill on smallies with the X-rap! That river perch one your boy was holding I do the best with. Same size too!

Love you Al!❤ But in our N.C. defense , 😂 yes, I gotta cry, your bass and all fish KNOW! they only have one month of feeding! Where as we, our bass don't!!!! I was joking bout the one month, but our fish don't bite like yours. God bless you good brother, see you on the heaven lake I hope.

St. Croix rods are incredible!! I have a few of these spinning rods and the sensitivity is unreal and I will continue to add these to my collection. Thanks for an awesome show and looking for to seeing more!! I am not a big religious guy but I do enjoy your closings at the end of your show!! Thank you!!

The xrap4 in black/silver is my all time favorite for brook trout in the 20"+range. I guide from canoes in the boundary water canoe area so a good versatile durable lurw is key. One mod i do to ALL of my lures is replace the treble hooks with saltwater inline single hooks. Id be willing to bet that hookups are not diminished at all and it reduces hooking fish in the face and eyes so they can be released. Plus in a canoe its easier to remove single hooks vs trebles.

Victory series. Coming from a huge croix fan, this is the first hearing of this. I'm equipped with 2 LTs an avid and 2 premiers. My head was clearly in the sand in this one. Thank you linder for the video!🎣

[chrishillard]

I love your videos. Curious if you tie direct to the split ring or use a clip.

[CalebNehring]

I have that exact lure on the thumbnail of this video. And in one weeks time I’ve caught about 50 crappie and some bass the biggest being 2.7 pounds.

[deborahotis]

Always have a shad rap or x rap or both tied on. Blister trout and bass with them. When the big stuff wears me out and I need a fish ima grab the shad or x rap.

[kevinamack]

Caught my personal best pike on a green X rap. Great lure. Nice vid.

[JoeBrann-qu]

Oh! Thank you for talking about our Lord, and the ending of your show, oh my, where it shows the christian fish symbol ❤ just sends me! Thank you

[JoeBrann-qu]

Did you know Roland Martin said you were the greatest bass fisherman he's ever known? Oh yes! He did

[jezur]

I'm curious about the color of the bait Troy shows at 7:26. It looks like "River Perch", but the one I have in that pattern (which I bought several years ago) has a different type eye, far less pronounced vertical gold bar highlights, and way more orange on the belly. Is Troy's bait a custom job or did Rapala change the "River Perch" pattern at some point? Great looking bait !

[HanSoloxcs]

What St. Croix Legend X are you using? :) also what is the smaller size xrap you reference? Size 8?
