Rapala X-Rap Twitchin' Minnow Saltwater

The Twitchin' Minnow is the largest member of Rapala's saltwater inshore X-Rap family. At 4-3/4 inches and 15/16 oz, it matches larger baitfish profiles like mullet and menhaden. The slow sinking action with a subsurface walk-the-dog glide covers the 1-2 foot depth range. VMC Coastal Black 4/0 inline single hooks handle the biggest inshore species. Pair it with the SubWalk 7 and SubWalk 9 for a complete size range.

The Big Bait for Big Inshore Fish

When snook are eating full-size mullet, when striped bass are crashing menhaden schools, or when big speckled trout are targeting larger bait, the Twitchin' Minnow matches the profile those fish are hunting. The 4-3/4 inch body is the largest in Rapala's saltwater inshore lineup, and the 15/16 oz weight provides serious casting distance.

The slow sinking action lets you work it at various depths. Let it sink a foot, twitch it, and let it drop again. The subsurface walk-the-dog glide mimics a stunned baitfish drifting in the current. The VMC 4/0 inline single hooks provide the strength needed for snook, striped bass, and other hard-pulling inshore species.

Slow Sinking Action

The Twitchin' Minnow sinks slowly rather than floating or suspending. This lets you work it at variable depths by counting it down before starting your retrieve. Fish deeper water without switching to a jig.

4/0 Inline Single Hooks

The largest hooks in the saltwater X-Rap inshore lineup. VMC Coastal Black 4/0 inline singles provide the bite and holding power needed for snook, striped bass, and other large inshore fish.

Large Baitfish Profile

At 4-3/4 inches, this lure matches adult mullet, menhaden, and herring. When predators are targeting full-size bait, smaller lures get ignored. The Twitchin' Minnow fills that big-bait role.

How to Fish the Twitchin' Minnow

  1. Cast past your target area
  2. Let the lure sink to your desired depth (count down)
  3. Twitch the rod tip to walk the lure subsurface
  4. Let it pause and sink between twitches
  5. The slow drop mimics a wounded baitfish
  6. Strikes often come on the pause as the lure sinks

Twitchin Minnow vs SubWalk 9? +
The Twitchin' Minnow is 4-3/4 inches and slow sinking for larger bait profiles. The SubWalk 9 is 3-1/2 inches for smaller bait. Use the Twitchin' Minnow when fish want a bigger meal.
What species is the Twitchin Minnow for? +
Snook, striped bass, large speckled trout, bluefish, and jack crevalle. Our snook guide covers big-bait tactics.
How deep does it fish? +
It sinks slowly and works best in the 1-2 foot depth range. Count it down to fish deeper. It does not have a diving lip like the X-Rap 8 or 10. See our lure guide.
Can I use it for striped bass? +
Excellent choice for striped bass feeding on menhaden and mullet. The slow sinking action on the pause triggers reaction strikes from following fish. See our striped bass guide.
Best color Twitchin Minnow? +
Mullet and Pilchard match the most common inshore baitfish. Albino Shiner is effective in stained water. Blue Sardine for clear water. See our color guide.
What tackle for the Twitchin Minnow? +
A 7 foot medium-heavy spinning rod with a 3000-4000 reel and 15-20 lb braid with 25-30 lb fluoro leader. The heavier weight needs slightly stiffer tackle. See our reel guide.
