X-Rap questions
Ok guys, as stated before fairly new to pier fishing. Have been coming the last 3 years and had pretty good sucess with Spanish and blue fish. I have seen quite a few post lately about kings hitting xRaps. My only experience with a XRap was behind a bubble rig and it was fairly successful catching Spanish. When fishing for Kings with one what size is most common. X10? Also what is the best way to rig it? Also, ive got 5-6 rods that I am bringing and want to be prepared for whatever is hot at the time. I will have a king set up for drifting live bait and a Spanish bubble rig. What and how should i rig the others so that I am prepared to be more versatile. In the past I have only carried 2 rigs. Any advice would be great and appreciated! Thanks.

In my opinion the X10 is a little small for kings and hard to throw with any distance. Most use I think the X12 and X14 but what do I know I'm just a googan.

For Kings what I have seen work well at the PCB piers is the XRap SR14. I think it weighs about 1.5 ozs. The downside is losing a $15 lure.
Sometimes it triggers a bite when not much else is working.

What they said and the top selling colors go in this order: olive, pink, silver, blue mack, and bone. O and P make up 73% of the sales based on color and the 12 outsells the 14 by about a third at J&M according to our system. Glad you asked, I was wondering what the ratio was.

Hey John are they treble hooks or single? What's MSRP on them?
Thanks!

Do you rig them behind a leader?

Reporting tools are amazing! I wish like heck I could find an analyst position that had something to do with fishing instead of healthcare.... I'll be by Wednesday with my nieces, it's their 1st trip down, gotta get some J&M attire for them.

I found some Rebel WindCheaters a few years back, a lot less expensive.

Just found them on Amazon for 8.99 per. For a week of fishing how many should I get?....

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
