RAPALA X-RAP LONG CAST While the X-Rap Long Cast is effective when simply retrieved, powerful twitches of the rod tip give the bait that slashing action that X-Rap fans have come to know and love

That's going to wrap it up for this week's rod bend

Slow hopping the lure through a bass school, holding on the downward slope of an old, submerged road, was an effective technique

While I would always rather use baitcasting gear than spinning tackle if possible, I thought that the latter was the only way to go with super light lures, especially when casting into the wind
