Rapala X-Rap Haku can be considered a next-generation jerkbait, combining the hard, jerkbait-style body with the soft lure hook rig, merging the best features of both in a unique way.
The body of the Rapala X-Rap Haku features a 3R System Titanium Release rig (100 lbs) running through a groove on the belly of the lure, equipped with two VMC Coastal Black hooks. The hooks are positioned in the same way as traditional fixed hooks, and the rig wire is protected from vegetation and debris within the groove.
When a fish strikes the X-Rap Haku, the connector at the tail of the body releases, freeing the hook rig from the body of the lure. This gives the angler direct contact with the fish, without the weight of the lure swinging in between. The pike stays hooked more securely during the fight, as the lure’s body doesn’t act as a heavy lever or pendulum like in traditional jerkbaits. The release mechanism is designed to stay locked during light vegetation strikes but will trigger when the fish bites the lure.
The Rapala X-Rap Haku is very easy to fish and versatile, both with rod and reel retrieves. The body is a slow-sinking design, suitable for both reel and rod retrieves. It features the stunning, modern Rapala pike colors.
