The lure that started it all is still the number one go-to lure.

Premium black nickel VMC hooks. Hand tuned and tank-tested to ensure that world renowned action straight from the box. 4 3/8 3/16oz.

Rapala Original Floating 11 Gold

Following in the footsteps of the legend, yet lighter than the original Rapala Jigging Rap, the Rapala Jigging Shadow Rap features a slower darting action. Designed for vertical jigging, the broader silhouette, modern internal metallic finishes, and belly-flashing action are ideal for targeting large wary fish, whether they are suspended or close to the bottom. Premium black nickel VMC hooks.

With a slight exaggeration of the unique Rapala baitfish in distress swimming action, the Jointed gets the undivided attention of otherwise disinterested gamefish. This articulated, or broken-back bait can be fished top-to-bottom. Swimming action at the slowest of speeds makes this bait the perfect choice after a cold front when fish are traditionally finicky and in a negative feeding mood. Balsa wood construction with VMC black nickel hooks.
