Rapala X-Rap 08 - Hot Head

Big fisherman, I'm on catch release nation! Im from Midwest America. Chase teeth so to say, walleye, pike, muskie, trout, salmon. Fish the great lakes, inland lakes, big river, small river, dam fish as well. My tactics include deep v boat cast and troll, aggressive walker on any public shore or river and dam. Kayak fish, canoe fish, set line fishing for catfish( backwater fishing, behind our dams) I occasionally pan fish, carp, sucker and target both bass, not my fav but always enjoy a smallie. Been fishing since 6, 35 plus year later. My teens if I fished 20 - 30 times a year, was a lot. Now, heck I average over a 100 a year for 20years. Own my business, 3generation mom and pop, culinary grad, work 7days a week with about 20 years of that with limited days off. About 10 days off without taking extra. 2 kids, divorce and no complaints. Live life hard and fast, no stop all go. My word means something where I'm from. I'm known for cooking, fishing, working and being a dad. For me, being recognized amongst 4million acres of public land by sportsman from all over, I'm a lucky proud guy. It all starts over tomorrow and today is in the books. I'm also on a rapala web site, 18k members, they know me there to.

I will make a fishing trip in Zambia in June, to fish for tigerfish. Rapala seems to
be THE reference there, as far as plugs go.

Use these lures in my boat in the city of Salvador, state of
Bahia in Brazil. It is a type of fishing boat in motion to catch fish ranging from
1-5 kg. I like the sport and also to prepare and eat these tasty fish. Summer is
here now, it is very hot and the water temperature is around 25 degrees Celsius,
very nice. I hope to continue shopping with you.

I fish salmon in a little river on the swedish westcoast. These rapalas
are great here .Here comes a link to the river homepage.

Thanks for the quick postage. Looking forward to receiving my new toy.

Here in Australia, we use them to target Australian salmon off the piers and
surf. This kind of fish are aggressive on lures and fight hard. Just cast
and retrieve until something nails it. We also get tailor, shook/pike,
bream, yellow tail kingfish and other pelagic species on lures.

The shinier, the better.

Mostly I am a catch and release bass
fisherman (especially small mouth), but the pike and walleye I catch on my
trips find their way to the table for a couple of meals each trip.

I have been fishing since a very young boy. I am strictly an artificial
fisherman, casting and a little trolling (not much though). I love top
water, jerk bait, and slash bait lures. Absolutely the most fun you can
have fishing.

I used to do a lot of pan fishing with a fly rod and flies, but that
particular talent has left me.

My buddy and I just got into a little more deep water fishing for walleyes
and we may have to give it some more action on the lake this year. I have
so much luck and fun doing what I do best that I hate to take the time to
learn a new technique......or a lake that I am not used to fishing.

I am 67 years old, retired, and don't have enough time to enjoy all my
hobbies.

That's a good situation in life I know.

I use xraps to target barramundi in the northern territory, Australia. The have a
wicked action and I am going test the big yozuris when targeting larger models!
