Quick take
A 12 cm Rapala topwater lure with glass ghost pattern designed for long-distance casting.
The Rapala X-Rap Long Cast 12 in Glass Ghost is a 4.75-inch, 1.25-ounce slashbait built for long throws. It runs down to about 5 feet, rolling on a steady retrieve and darting when twitched, then fluttering on the pause. Anglers working open water for predatory fish can use it to cover distance with a jerkbait presentation.
