Quick take
A 4 in jerkbait that darts aggressively on twitches and suspends motionless to trigger strikes.
The Glass Ghost X-Rap XR10 is a suspending jerkbait with a rattle, 4 inches long and 7/16 oz. It runs 4 to 6 feet down and hangs in the strike zone between twitches. Anglers who like a sharp, darting slashbait retrieve will find it easy to work.
Best for
- Fall and winter when fish are less aggressive
- Twitching retrieve through weed edges and structure
Skip if
- You need a lure that floats and doesn't require twitching
- You fish deep structure over 10 ft deep
Strengths
- Aggressive darting action triggers reaction strikes from bass
- Suspension at rest lets the lure hang in the strike zone on pause
- 4 in profile imitates a small baitfish realistically
Trade-offs
- Jerkbaits require active twitching and exhaust the angler's arm
- Suspending design means it sinks when fishing rests
- Internal rattle reduces silence in heavily pressured water
