Rapala X-Rap Magnum Single hook

Post by Reeling »

Is there a reason why the single on the tail of the magnum is the opposite way around to what I thought?

I thought mine may have been put the wrong way around accidentally but looking on the site they are meant to be point racing down....

Interesting - I have mine up as well, but happy to swap if it results in a better hook up rate.
Well past the edge, almost at the point of no return.

Ye I've only ever seen the rear pointing upwards as you suggest. All vids I've seen tell you to have it upwards.

Mav, I've not really caught enough on HBs (yet) to tell you whether I've had better hook up with either way. Maybe I'll keep this one as packaged and see. NSC Gamble!
