Rapala X-Rap Otus 17 is a hybrid predatory fishing lure with a hard ABS body and a soft PVC curl tail. That combination provides plenty of water displacement, a striking silhouette and an action that remains strong when fished slowly. This model is slow sinking and sinks in a controlled manner. As a result, it comes into its own in cold water and on tricky fishing days.
While reeling in, the large curl tail pulses wide behind the bait. At the same time, the body rolls along clearly. During a break, the tail acts as a kind of parachute. This keeps the bait interesting for longer during the sinking phase. This makes the Rapala X-Rap Otus strong for a slow and controlled presentation. The tail is fixed with a 6-point stainless steel attachment and a spare tail is included.
With a length of 17 cm and a weight of 40 g, this version is widely applicable in shallow zones, along edges and above plants. The swimming depth of about 0.5 – 1 m makes it interesting for hunting predatory fish in the upper water layer. The two trebles in size 3 match the profile of the bait nicely. You have this version in Blue Ghost | Halloween | Hot Tiger Pike. That’s three colors, each providing a different incentive, from subtle to extra striking.
