Rapala X-Rap Haku Smelt on the Beach

The Rapala X‑Rap Haku is a robust 14 cm, 74 g sinking glide bait designed for chasing big freshwater predators like pike. Its high‑impact ABS body delivers a durable foundation capable of withstanding aggressive strikes and challenging conditions. It features Rapala’s proprietary 3R Release Rig System, which uses 100 lb titanium wire and premium VMC 4551 Coastal Black trebles. On hook‑set the rig detaches from the lure body to prevent fish leverage and improve landing rates. The glide bait action offers versatile presentations, from fast side‑to‑side twitches to long glides with stop‑and‑go retrieves, and intense burns that mimic fleeing baitfish. Its weed‑guarded belly groove keeps hooks protected, making it highly effective in snag‑prone and debris‑filled environments. A spare 3R rig is available separately, allowing quick replacement between sessions so you can keep fishing without interruption.
