I caught six fish in 3 hours of fishing! Including a 16lbs channel cat and some bass. Before I bought this lure, I had spent days fishing and barely got a bite, this lure is so easy it feels like cheating!

I've used this lure in many different colors, with the same result. Usually I combine slow and fast reeling with pauses to let the lure float to the top, simulating a "wounded minnow" action, or I reel slowly and let it skim across the surface, and I've landed countless largemouths, smallmouths, even crappie and perch. An excellent piece of tackle, especially for the price.

For some reason, fish here in Belize go nuts for the rainbow trout pattern. I have trolled this lure along with others for days, and it catches fish while nothing else is working. Go figure. Barracuda, big jacks, king and Spanish mackerel, and even a couple of nice snapper.

every Rapala I've used in the pass has worked, haven't tested this one yet!, still the one
I used in past has worked well different colour but good lure bought this one for dirty water

I've fished the Potomac River and some of it's feeders from Frederick County out to Washington County, Maryland for 20 some years. I use these lures in sizes 05, 07 and 09 in about half the colors available (silver, yellow perch, baby bass, bluegill & shad) and they have to be the most consistent producers for smallmouth bass I've ever seen. I don't bother to take plastic worms and other shallow running crankbaits with me anymore. They're super tough - the finish takes a beating when they get dragged over rocks and I've yet to have one chip. Get the colors that match the kind of fish that are in whatever water you're fishing in and you're sure to hook up!
