Quick take
A 3-1/8 inch saltwater jerkbait with twitch-and-pause action for coastal species.
The X-Rap Twitchin' Mullet in the Mullet color is a 3-1/8 inch, 7/16 ounce jerkbait aimed at inshore water. It sinks slowly and runs 1 to 2 feet deep, so a twitch-and-pause retrieve keeps it in the strike zone over flats and in bays. Anglers chasing snook, redfish and trout get a baitfish profile and a pair of 2/0 inline single hooks.
Best for
- Snook and tarpon in flats and backwaters
- Redfish in shallow bays and estuaries
- Sight-casting on sight
Skip if
- You fish freshwater lakes or rivers
- You prefer steady retrieve lures
Strengths
- Corrosion-resistant hardware for saltwater use
- Realistic mullet shape mimics coastal forage
- Single hook reduces snags in shallow cover
Trade-offs
- Requires active twitch-and-pause technique for best results
- Shallow diving depth limits use in deeper water
- Heavier than some topwater options, requires adequate casting distance

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
