The Rapala Rap-V Blade bait is a versatile and well-designed blade bait that produces intense vibrating action to attract various species of fish. Constructed with a metal frame and a durable plastic body, the Rap-V is perfectly balanced to create a strong vibration during both the descent and retrieval. These blade baits can be used with a standard chuck-and-wind technique to generate reaction strikes from actively feeding predators at different depths. They also excel when employed with a lift-and-fall motion, also known as the “yo-yo” retrieve. By quickly lifting the rod tip, the Rap-V rapidly moves upwards with a powerful vibration, then flutters downwards when the line is slack, mimicking the movement of a wounded baitfish fleeing from hungry predators in deeper waters. The bait offers two distinct line-tie points that produce different falling actions, and it's equipped with 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, which helps minimize snagging.
