Rapala X-Rap Haku - short review and first impressions




Have you ever seen a lure with the feeling that it will work perfect as much as it looks perfect visually? Exactly this is what happened to me at the first fishing on the lake, when I gained complete confidence in Rapala X-Rap Haku lure.

This classic jerk or jekbait lure is easy to walk with side to side action and will trigger almost every pike from around. The action, the size, colour, holographic effect - all that is perfectly made for that predator fish, but the main advantage over the other jerk lures is in innovative quick release hook system. That system is attached to the body with smart clip, and will be released easily when pike attack the lure. At that way you will have better and direct contact with fish and you will raise your chance to lead it to your hands. Once the pike is in your hand you can smile in front of your camera give a kiss and release it back to the water. This is a game we love and Rapala X-Rap Haku can be one of your lead player in the future.

Technical details:
High-impact ABS Body
Length - 14 cm
Weight - 74 g
Sinking
Price - not the cheapest lure - around 24 Euro depend on the shop
3R Release Rig System made from 100 lb Titanium Wire
Hooks - WMC 4551 Coastal Black Hooks




First 2 hours of fishing with Rapala X-Rap Haku resulted with 2 nice pike + 2
unrealized bites. On of that lost fish was really big, much bigger than the one on the photo.
