Default X-Rap Opus

This bugger looks awesome. https://rapala.ca/products/x-rap-otus . The part that scares me is some little dinker Pike comes along and bites off 1/2 of the tale - doh !!

I bought quite a few of them this spring in anticipation of early pike. The tails seem robust from what I can see, but time will tell. They do provide you with a spare tail with each bait. I think a bottle of krazy glue in the boat to patch any gashes or cuts will help too.

I really want to try these but the price makes me a wee bit nervous. Did you buy yours online or did you find them in a store?

Thanks. That’s the only place I can find them.

For those interested in the Otus but not wanting to shell out the $$ for one, I am doing a giveaway of one in the Hot Pike colour on my Instagram page (@harderoutdoors). Also including an “Off The Hook” unit as well.

Thought I would mention it here so more folks get a chance.
