Rapala X-Rap

Hi Larry,

I would like your comments about the New X-Rap 14 and what rod and leader would you use to fish them for snook and tarpon from the jetties in central Florida.
Thanks

Hi Ages,
I'd use minimum of 60# hard mono for snook and 130# for tarpon if they're of decent size.
For either species, you'll have to replace the hooks.
I think worked as an "extreme action slash bait" (what ever the heck that is???) it would most likely be a much better snook lure than for 'poons, which in my experiece, usually prefer a lure worked much less aggressively.
I'd use a 7-7 1/2 foot med-heavy freshwater baitcasting rod.
best,
L
