*NEW Rapala MaxRap™

[Bucktail]

Just came across this while surfing.  I haven't seen it in person, much less have had a chance to swim it.  But the action on it makes me think it would be a great little bait for schoolie stripers! 

Probably have to change out those little freshwater size 6 hooks with some size 4s in at least a 3X strong though.

I want one (or three)!

Except for the weight, 5/8oz which is lite for SW, it looks like something I  would try. Yes you would have to change to 3x Mustads or Vmcs.
The slim profile, roll, and flash I could work with for sure.
How much are they and what colors avail?

The link above the You Tube clip shows all the colors.  The information in the clip doesn't match what's on their website.  In the clip the guy says they are 5" long and 7/8 oz.  On the site it says 5 1/4" and 1/2 oz.

My primary use for these would be mostly back bay.  I would probably use them in the same areas I usually throw a 5" Mambo Minnow or a small Redfin.  Although I could see them as being killers off the beach this past fall with all the sand eels around.

BTW, the retail on these is $17.99!  Which makes my $5 Mambos and Redfins look a whole lot better!

$17.99...a little steep !

My surf plugs don't run much more than that, but the action and design does look appealing and "catching."
