F18 is a top producer for mid water musky!

This lure has caught 10 musky in as many outings this spring. Fish seem to find the firetiger and hot steel F18s irresistible, so much so that they need replaced as the teeth marks are obscuring the color patterns! Trolling on steel adds even more exaggerated action and a great fight!

Like It. Great first generation shallow water strike provoker.

It's the original first generation balsa minnow bait - its design has withstood the test of time. It has a distinctive 'wounded-minnow' slow rolling wobble that provokes smashing strikes. Pike tear it to bits - it is fragile so I would avoid putting it in jackfish hangouts. It doesn't cast terribly well so you you need to us 6 pound line to get any distance out of it. However, it is good in shallow water, 3-4' optimum, for Large and Smallmouth Bass in particular - it can even be fished as a surface lure (twitch BANG). In moving water in shallow rivers it is great for Walleye, especially early in the morning and at dusk. I've caught a lot of Lake Trout on it trolled with wire line, on the down rigger, and flatlining in cold spring water. Pretty much, a need to have lure for working the shallows - there are no obvious replacements that are as good. Call me old fashioned but I prefer the Gold and Silver foil colours.

Out of all the lures i have for large mouth bass, i like to keep this in my tackle box. This thing catches bass when i can't get em with a senko worm. Personally, I use #5 in silver that's a 1/4 in. and 1/4 oz weight perfect size for all rods and locations. With that being said, I'll head to my local lake on a sunny day, find a clear spot with nothing in my way or stuff i can get caught on. I'll throw it out and twitch/jerk it for a few seconds, wait, reel in the slack and repeat till i get something, Fish on!

Any which way I've fished (boat, kayak, shore, lake, river, pond, trolling, casting) I've always have an original Rapala with me. I always have a size 5 and 7 in a couple of colours but my go to are silver, orange (fluorescent red) and clown. They have introduced other colours, which come and go, but Blue, Gold, Perch, and Yellow are the other standards for me. I've caught everything with them.
