The Rapala Rap-V Blade bait in the Clown color is a versatile and well-designed bait that vibrates intensely, making it appealing to various fish species. It is made with a metal frame and a durable plastic body, ensuring its longevity. The Rap-V is perfectly balanced, allowing for a tight vibration both when falling and when retrieved.
These blade baits can be used with a standard chuck-and-wind retrieve, which attracts reaction strikes from hungry predators at different depths. They are also highly effective when used with a lift-and-fall cadence, commonly known as the “yo-yo” retrieve. When you quickly lift the rod tip, the Rap-V darts upwards with an intense vibration. On slack line, it flutters towards the bottom, imitating a wounded baitfish trying to escape from predators in deeper water.
The bait has two separate line-tie points that impact its falling action differently. It is equipped with VMC hardware, including a duo-lock snap, a round bend treble hook on the tail, and a round bend double hook on the belly. These features help reduce the chances of hang-ups, allowing for a smoother fishing experience.
