XRap

Andy,

That big fish I got this year with you down at the canal was on an X Rap. With the tinkers around this year it was a nice match the hatch type bait. Distance is certainly a function of weight but also aerodynamics and of course rod. I fish a XRA 1205 with 30lb PP and was getting it out there just fine. Its not a pencil for the blitzes in the middle or anything but both the X and the XP are over an ounce with a small thin profile and cast well IMO. I was able to get out to fish most of the time. In the fall AM tides it was either one of those two plugs or one of Mikes pencils on my rod 50% of the time.

James
