Default skitterwalk vs xrap top waters

I have heard a lot about skitterwalks and was planning on buying some. I just checked and saw that I have several of the Rapala xrap topwaters. Before I go but the skitterwalks I just wanted to know the difference between the two and if anyone has used them before. I bought them on clearance but never tried them. Thanks.

The xrap is a suspending bait not a topwater. They run about 2-6ft underwater depending on the size and how you work it.

They make a x rap topwater and a subwalk. The x rap is bigger and have feathered dropped down treble on the back. Skitters are awesome but spook jrs are number 1 for me. Skitters 1a.

Yep, I prefer Spook Jr's myself. Bone and white with chartreuse head are my 2 favorites.
