Rapala® X-Rap® Twitchin’ Minnow and Twitchin’ Mullet
Help Dad find fish in the elusive pockets where big fish lie in wait to ambush their prey with a soon-to-be favorite inshore lure: the Rapala X-Rap Twitchin’ Minnow and X-Rap Twitchin’ Mullet.
Since these dynamic lures first hit the market, they’ve quickly become go-to baits for shallow-feeding inshore fish. Both perform with an aggressive, side-to-side action ideal for an attention-grabbing walk-the-dog presentation sure to trigger the attack instinct in a wide variety of popular saltwater species.
Both lures feature translucent bodies, 3D holographic eyes and come in 12 effective color patterns. The Twitchin’ Mullet weighs 7/16 of an ounce and is armed with two 2/0 VMC® Coastal Black™ 1X Inline Single Hooks. The Twitchin’ Minnow comes in two sizes. Size 10 weighs 1/2 ounce and has two 2/0 VMC Coastal Black 1X Inline Single Hooks; size 12 weighs 15/16 of an ounce, with two 4/0 VMC Coastal Black 1X Inline Single Hooks.
Sufix® 832® Advanced Superline® in Coastal Camo
For serious saltwater anglers, the No. 1 braid of choice for boating saltwater fish of all species and sizes is Sufix® 832® Advanced Superline®. In a case of making a good thing even better, Sufix 832 is now available in the new Coastal Camo color, a blue-pattern option for fishing ocean-blue water.
The new Coastal Camo color isn’t just sharp-looking, it’s also super strong, sensitive and abrasion-resistant thanks to advanced braiding and fiber technology. Sufix 832’s proprietary braid of seven HMPE and one GORE® fibers weaved 32 times per inch creates a nearly unbreakable superline unlike any other on the market. Available in strengths up to 80-pound test, it offers increased sensitivity to feel light bites, the ability to make long casts, and easy hook-sets. It doesn’t stretch, so when Dad sets a hook, a fish is pegged almost immediately.
Find Sufix 832 Advanced Superline in new Coastal Camo at your favorite sporting goods retailer in spools ranging from 150 yards to 3,500 yards.
