6.25"....2.5 oz. what a beast

why not, that thing's tiny compared to some of the swimbaits we throw regularly

Particularly if the bass are feeding on mackerel

10" huddlestons, 8" huddlestons, I slide 185, roman made mother, MS super slammer, jointed craw, 8" BBZ to name a few. Theres also tons of custom baits out there that dwarfs that x rap.

According to Rapala's website, that bait has a 6 1/4" body and weighs 2.5oz, so it's just a baby. I wouldn't want one of the deep runners but I'm sure a bass would hit a shallower runner. Then again, if I was going to throw a bait that size for bass, I'd much rather it be a big swimbait. 

I watched a show this weekend where they were using those to troll for tuna off shore.   I think they were also trolling them to catch dorado on a different episode.   They are big but I'm sure a bass would bite them in the right situation.
