Rapala Lures

[Scott]

My favorite Rapala is the countdown in perch color.

I was just wondering what your favorite rapala and color/size is.

husky jerk

Their whole line is pretty good, in my opinion. My favorite is the Original Shad Rap. The Countdown is an excellent bait and hardly ever gets talked about, but it flat-out catches fish.

Have ya'll seen the new X-Rap? That thing is SAAAAAWEET!

[Rich]

I'm with the sip ;D. Â*X-Rap all the way. Shad Raps ain't bad, either.

[BassNva]

i have just about every kind of rapala lure made(except the x-rap)...i only use the husky jerks.

[Basser]

what is an x-rap suppose to be? i've seen them. is its a jerkbait? a floatin minnow?

[eyes]

I like the DT series. I also like the floating Rapalas (Gold w/black back & silver w/black back) on a spinning rod when bass aren't hitting bigger jerkbaits.

BassAddict22, the X-Rap is a jerkbait.

The Skitterwalk is a awesome topwater lure.

#5 and #7 shad Rapala are my favs. but is do favor that perch color too..thats an awesome bait.
I like the shad smaller version that just bobs under the surface and probably my fav rapala is the chartruse back white bottom

the third one down on the left is great for parallel on the bank in oHIo dingy waters like st marys

I think I'm apparently one of the few guys who liked the Risto Raps when they came out - although I've gotten away from using them and crankbaits in general. Besides that, the X-Rap is an OK lure, not revolutionary of course, but what lure is?

[Rich]

22, an X-Rap is a suspending jerkbait or as they call it, slashbait. Whatever you want to call it, is looks great in the water and catches fish.

[jason]

suspending jerkbait in the baby bass color works really well for me.

[n2b]

J.B. what website did you pull that off of. The reason im asking is because i have never in my life seen that goldfish color and i want it.

[Bassin_Dude]

Mr Big, looks like he got it off http://www.marinetackle.com

[n2b]

ThanX!! ;D

[n2b]

wait, no thats not the sight i just checked.

[Bassin_Dude]

then its www.albashop.com.tr this should be it.

[Bassin_Dude]

i cant read the website tho, looks like its written in german. but thats where the pic came from so look around.

[big_mouth]

The shad rap is my fav. I like rapala minnows they are good when the bait fish are moving

[Rob Mak]

like jb #5-7 shad raps and jointed shad raps. i hae the complete line of dt's cranks. although i normally use a shad colored crank those pic's don't have the green craw color i love to use .

If you see one thats from image shack and has JB in the name..its prob one of my pics from the past, Ya have to remember my looks have changed since 1980 when I started taking pics of me holding a bass...
Gained a little weight and not as tan today since i inked up my bod ;D
Rapala makes a gold line and also has gold with a brown back...nice walleye color too

[Bassin_Dude]

thats exactly what i did jb. is that alba shop in german or something?

[jglassguy]

Heck if I know LOL
I do graphic art as a hobby and am always doing a Google Image search for items to photoshop, so when I hear of baits I usually go to the image search and see what it looks like...The Senko for example, last year I had fished a sticko and loved it but never had investigated the senko brand.. it sure looks like a winner
