Built to soar and skitter, the Rapala Flash-X Skitter perfectly mimics one of the most hunted saltwater baitfish in the ocean the needlefish.

The tapered prism design creates impressive flashes above and below the water, while also acting as a keel to improve stability, during a high-speed retrieve, keeping the head of the lure up. A wired-through construction, ensures that this lure is built to withstand big fish and strong drag pressure.

Cast it out and crank it fast to send it skittering across the surface like an escaping fish that no predator can resist.

Potential predators in the Mediterranean include the Blue Fish, Amberjacks, Bonitos, Barracudas, Mahi Mahi and large, winter Seabass.
