Hey people
Been away for a while got a mag with a dvd of rapala xr8 x-rap extreme action slashbait.
Has anybody used this lure,how good were they and what is the cost of them
Thought they might be good on jews in wagonga N.S.W.
Cheers and all a merry x-mas

Hey MJF,
As with most of the rapalas, these are a good lure. I havn't used that size but have done Ok with the 140mm version one on snapper while trolling for early season pelagics in my Kayak. I paid $24 for the bigger version. I reckon they would be great for JEW - albeit a bit expensive if your are around the rocks. The action is fantasic and the finish on them is very good. Good luck and let us know how you go.
Cheers

mate, that dvd i think was the okuma dvd.
if it was, it was one of the best i have seen.
it was a freebie on a fish mag last month.
they really nailed those rapalas.
cheers

MJF,
I have a couple of rapala xr8 x-rap extreme action slashbaits, cost around $17.
I have been nailing some nice Flathead on them, & got to agree with FP, The action is fantasic and the finish on them is very good.
Cheers

Yeah Greg it's called Rapala extreme fishing it's a yankee thing with the man Rapala himself.
And yes its top stuff

Hi MJF .... They are a nice lure ( well made & great action.... high & low speed) I've bought a few of the X Rap 10s to try on the impoundment barra.
(X Rap 8s) I'm not too sure on the suitability for Jews though ( they dive to 1.2M only.... & you would need to fish them fast to get there!) Hey but give em a go ! specially near a drop off.
Cost is around $18-19.
Best of luck with them & post a report.. Nagg
I just got 3 for $ 35
2 gold and 1 green might run them over the flats also
Cheers all
