Rapala Depth Control
Looking to get a bit more depth out of my XRap4 & F3/F5 - at slower speeds. I am curious if anyone has modified these to help them suspend a little deeper and fish a bit slower. I also use the CDs but not always a fan of the sink on pause.
Basically looking to get them to suspend in the 6ft range. Are splits shots my only answer? Appreciate the help Last edited by ratherbe; 11-29-2015 at 01:04 PM..

Re: Rapala Depth Control
Split shots will mess with the action, and cause the lure to sink instead of suspend. Go with light line (less buoyancy/water resistance) and long casts to get the Xrap to depth. Try adhesive weight strips on the floaters to get them deeper and make them suspend.

Re: Rapala Depth Control
As lard said , try the suspend strips....They also make suspend dots, I believe storm makes them....Used to see them in tackle shops but haven't in yrs...Check the storm website....http://www.rapala.com/search?id=4&q=suspend%20dots
