Rapala X-Rap Magnum 30 - Hot Head

Thanks for the lures. They work well for striped bass in the back channel in
Kittery which is in southern Maine. I bought my first one from the Kittery Trading
Post because they were out of the Glass Ghost Xrap. The HotHead seemed a likely
option.
They're sold out around here now. I'm glad you had some

WE bought several of the Rapalla Rap x 30's last year for trolling for King Mackerel
we troll off shore at about 5 to 7 mph with these. Of the 4 plugs that we bought
this one, which we named Lucky is the only one that we have left. It got lost
trolling 2 times, cutoff, broken off or whatever and we just happened back across
it. We eventually lost the others but never saw them again. This lure that we still
have is bitten up and now has dull hooks...LOL it has caught more than 20 Kings,
got in to some Maui Maui and caught 8 to 10 of them over 2 days, caught way too many
Bonita's, and one blue fish. This plug out fished the other colors last year by at
least 4 to 1 here on the Gulf Coast in the Panhandle of Florida.

We are using them on the southern bluefin tuna
They start to rub this time of year, upto 130 kg

I'm a American but spend 6 months every year fishing out of Natal Brazil. I use
the Yo-Zuri and Rapala 30 for fishing Wahoo ( Cavala ) with very good success. It
takes us about a hour and a half to get out to the fishing grounds, on the way there
I use only the Yo-Zuri lures because they troll faster then the Rapala, I put 3 of
them out with flat line clips on the way out there. Once were out there I will use
two Rapala's 30 and one Yo-Zuri and two other types of lures (plastic) on the
outriggers. I've caught many types of fish on the Yo-Zuri and Rapala's, we don't
speed troll here because the two boats I fish out of don't go that fast, the max
maybe 13-14 knots which I use the Yo-Zuri's, we don't troll with lead. I buy my
lures on ebay and have them shipped to a friend in Miami, next month I will fly
there to do my taxes and other things and pick up any packages I
might have. Here in Brazil it's sometimes possible to purchase a Rapala but the
price is about $60 US for one lure. I know some sellers on E-bay will ship here but
if the purchase amount is over $50 us they will tax 60 % or more. I've only ordered
from you guy's and one other seller ( JWD48). From my experience the Yo-Zuri blue
crome has been the best producer for me, one day when we were fishing I was able to
use only one rod because there was several guy's fishing with us that day, I caught
8 wahoo only with that one lure I was using, the rest of the guy's were using
Ballyhoo and only caught 3, LOL. I do change out the hooks when I get them to a
Mustad 4xstrong . I'll be looking for you on ebay because I'm not finished with
purchasing a few more, one more thing, when I travel back to Brazil I take off the
treble hooks and they go in my checked suitcase and the bodies go in my carry on,
there like gold here,
