Looked all over for this; finally found it online because it was SOLD OUT; Very popular jig and will continue to use this until the fish stop biting...
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
These are the best for walleye and perch. I use #5's with a half of a minnow on the treble hook. Don't ask me why a half but I almost never catch fish with a whole minnow on it. Make sure you bounce it off the bottom once in a while.

first drop resulted in a 4 pound smallie. these baits get bites when a spoon won't!
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
There is a saying I once heard "author unknown" but it went something like "to catch big fish use big bait" ... Also the reason why big bass grow even bigger is because their eyesight improves with age ... so must a lure if it is to catch them. Realism and making them just can't refuse it brings 'em in. To me the ultimate lure Rapala could make would be a four inch, 3/4 ounce, 0/2 hooks in a bright red shiney color, digital enhanced graphics, and the real kicker ... changes colors depending on the color of the water and depth. Please, Please let me be an evaluator for that one if the designers can even make such a one. Would love to hear Rapala's feedback on this one. Also, since I have your ear, if Rapala could come up with a lure that would ballast at certain depths. Lets say 60 feet or 30 feet ... each lure could have it's own depth and they could sell more that way too. However I'm not done yet ... based on a tiny battery inside the lure a device could make the lure move very slowly at that depth, enhanced by the movement of the rod. I also once read "unknown author" that a guy in south had an ability to fish so slow it would make you mad. However ... he caught more fish than anyone else ... so crazy erratic movement is not always the answer ... however fish are like birds ... their patterns and what one day that like and the next they don't. Actually I like my suggestions so well ...I'm going to send this off to Rapala as well. It's like sometimes the light just comes on and for me ... not very often. Thank you for letting me complete this survey[...]
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
I use this product ice fishing for walleyes. It works great, doesn't tangle, and holds up well. Also the new glow colors are great.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
these are excellent jigs for just about any species of fish. You need to keep a tight line while jigging it to get te proper action of it swiming around the hole but it definately attracts fish and they eat it. The only con to this jig is when the fish are a little bit slugish i think this thing swims too fast for them i was using it to attract fish to my hole but sometimes they couldent get it in there mouth, i would then drop down a small hair jig that i could jig in one place and they would eat it. All around an excellent jig for ice fihing.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Perch, crappie and bluegill hit it all day long. I just wish the fish were bigger but that's not the lures fault.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Lift, fall, hold......jiggle, jiggle, jiggle. That's what makes it work for me.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Changed treble to larger size & greatly reduced fish loss.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Great for vertical jigging for suspended fish.
Be careful around standing timber,its not as easy to "pop" free as the traditional jigging spoons.
The 1/2 & 3/4 oz seem to work very well on Stripers & Bass.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Tip with a spike or minnow head
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
I don't go any where with out a rapala jiggn rap. I use them ice fishing, open water jigging, casting, trolling! The circular movement is great while jiggn and the vibration is aewsome while castn or trolling. I have caught almost every species on them here in Colorado, perch, crappie, bass, walleye, and trout.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Not just for ice fishing but a good finesse bait for suspended bass.

Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Used the #7 this summer just moved slowly with electric trolling motor.would touch bottom then rapidly lift up then repeat. do not drag bottom keep a lure retriever with you for snags. Caught lots of keeper walleye this summer.when I was first showed this trick I though the guy was nuts I am now a believer
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
I use these jigs throughout the year. I have caught Walleye, Smallmouth, Largemouth and Brim ranging from 15' to 80' deep. I have never used them for ice fishing because our lakes don't freeze here in North Carolina but they work great on suspending fish.

Very effective lure for catching many types of fish. Jigging the lure on the bottom is most productive.

Bought this product for ice fishing walleye on the Saginaw River in Michigan. Watched video on YouTube on how to effectively use the lure and it was right on. Stinger on the belly treble rigged w/minnow works real well.

Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
I have to say i love these lures. I mainly use them walleye fishin through the ice and have caught more fish on them than any other lure. It works very well for other fish as well. Some times you have to put on a larger treble hook for the bottom so you dont lose to many fish but other then that they are great!!!
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Use them up in Canada ice fishing. Drop the lure all they way down to the bottom, count to three, then raise it up about 18 inches and let it swim back to the bottom. Strikes usually occur on the lift up. Great for a variety of fish. Only problem is the treble hook in the middle is too small, causing lost fish. To remedy I remove that hook and replace it with a larger one.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
These jigs were recommended to me by North Carolina walleye fishermen. They will catch fish and perform just as advertised. They are great for vertical jigging on suspended fish. Very good action when jigged slowly.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
only thing i suggest is to change the bottom hook to a larger size
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
The walleyes and saugers love them! But just be careful not to use them where there are a lot of snags. Chrome blue is my favorite.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
I suspend this lure about 18 inches off the bottom with a minow head on the center hook for walleyes while ice fishing. A little up and down motion helps.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
When the weather turns cold and all the other boats are stored away, I use the Rapapa jigging rap for deep water walleye. The new glow tiger colors have doubled my catch rate.

Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
This is the most incredible lure I have ever used for white and striped bass fishing. I fish Norfork Lake In Arkansas and use the blue and chrome for a week straight and don't change it, unless the paint is removed from all the hits. Very simple to use, just drop it to the bottom real up 6 to 12 inches from the bottom and jig hard about every 15 seconds and hold on tight. NOTE: use only in open flats, not good for Crappie piles but will catch any fish on the bottom of the lake..
Nice Hybrid

Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
walleye and white bass seemed to like the #3 in orange/red and firetiger thru the ice. I will walk the shore line with these jigs a 12ft pole and pencil bobber and jigg for crappie in some timber in early march

Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
I have caught a lot of panfish and a few walleyes this Winter using this jigging Rapala.Just be careful how you store this lure as the plastic tail breaks off easily.

Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
This is a classic Rapala lure that I use for walleyes through the ice. Just drop it to the bottom, count to 3 then lift it up about 18" and let it drift down. The HIT comes when you're lifting it up.
Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Great for ice fishing and vertical jigging. Also work great for hopping across bottom.

Comments about Rapala / Normark Rapala Jigging Rap Balanced Jigging Lures:
Drop to bottom and crank up 2 cranks and jig slowly. They swim in a circle and drives fish wild. But they have too small of hook on bottom so we change them.
