Rapala X-Rap 08 - Hot Pink

The X-Rap in Hot Pink was something I just started using a couple weeks ago. It
appeared to have high visibility in clear water during pre-dawn conditions. The
first time I tried it, I picked up a couple of walleye with it before I hung it up
and had to beak off.

Whenever I order a lure, I always order two just to have a back-up should I lose one
if in the event the lure has potential. So these two X-Raps I got from you are
"spares for the spare".

How I even tried the Hot Pink to begin with was from watching an episode of
"Linder's Angling Edge" a few months back. I noticed that these gomers were using
high-vis lures in clear water during a bright, sunny day. I just figured that the
Linder's must have spilt the last of their marbles and was gonna let it go at that!
But Jim Linder did comment on the use of the high-vis colors. He said that the
normal line of thought would be to go to the "natural colors" during such
conditions, but he goes the other way with this, using the high-vis lures as "shock
baits", as he calls them.

I'm strictly "catch and release, artificial lures only", right to the point of
pinching down the barbs of the hooks as soon as I unpack the lure; so going "outside
the box" does have a certain appeal to it!

We use half water rapala x rap lures for fishing for peacock bass here in the neck region that
are small to medium sized, but very brave lol.

hopefully ill be using to target some flathead on the
sandflats just twitch and pause retrieve maybe something else might take it
