Rapala X-Light Shad

Finesse Crankbait With Exceptional Casting Properties

The Rapala X-Light Shad is a small finesse crankbait, measuring just 4 cm and weighing 4 g. Despite its compact size, the aerodynamic design means it casts remarkably well on ultralight tackle - delivering surprisingly long distances and pinpoint accuracy. It's a natural choice for working streams and small rivers for trout, chub and perch.

Lifelike Finishes and an Irresistible Rattle

The Rapala X-Light Shad is a slow-sinking hard lure with a running depth of around 1.5 m, making it well suited to probing slightly deeper spots for predators. Digitally printed surfaces produce strikingly realistic finishes, complemented by holographic 3D eyes that bring the lure to life visually. For any predator that needs a little extra persuasion, the built-in rattle provides an irresistible trigger.

Tough Construction for Hard-Fighting Predators

The Rapala X-Light Shad features a lead-free build and a wire-through construction. Combined with the robust plastic body, this gives the lure exceptional durability, so it holds up to hard fights with powerful predators. Those predators are held firmly by the VMC 4651 treble hooks in size 10 and kept there all the way to the landing net. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure optimal running action straight out of the packet.
