The Rapala Rap-V Blade bait in Firetiger color is a versatile and well-designed blade bait that offers a lot of vibrating action to attract a variety of fish species. It is made with a metal frame and a durable plastic body, ensuring its longevity. The Rap-V is perfectly balanced, allowing it to produce a strong vibration both when falling and when retrieved.
You can fish with these blade baits using a standard chuck-and-wind retrieve, which will entice reactive strikes from feeding predators at different depths. Additionally, they work exceptionally well with a lift-and-fall cadence, commonly referred to as a “yo-yo” retrieve. By quickly lifting the rod tip, the Rap-V will dart upwards with an intense vibration. On a slack line, it will then flutter towards the bottom, mimicking a wounded baitfish escaping from predators in deeper areas.
The bait has two separate line-tie points that have different effects on the falling action of the bait. It also features high-quality VMC hardware, including a duo-lock snap, a round bend treble hook on the tail, and a round bend double hook on the belly, all designed to help minimize hang-ups.
