Rapala Rattlin' Rap

The substrate for the stretch of river I fish feels more like concrete and re-bar than rocks and gravel, So I’m always looking for inexpensive crank baits that work and these Rapala Rattlin’ Raps fit the bill nicely. Especially at the prices offered by FishUSA. I have fished the river about 6 times since ordering these lures and caught several smallies, a nice little 26” pike, and even a flathead catfish. The Firetiger and Shad colors are working the best right now. So far I have only lost one lure to the rocks, and that was the 2 ¾” size.

Catches fish even when the last of the paint has been chewed off.

effective for pikes

Not as good an action or casting length as Rippin Rap in my opinion. Less luck with this lure. Is different though so having both could help in some situations.

I like to use these trolling in shallow water applications. The fish seem to really like them and they are not too expensive. I fish for walleyes and wipers a lot and have good success using them.
