The Rapala Rap-V Blade bait is a versatile and well-designed bait that vibrates intensely to attract various types of fish. Made with a metal frame and durable plastic body, the Rap-V is perfectly balanced to create a strong vibration when falling or being retrieved.
These blade baits are effective when used with a standard retrieve, drawing strikes from predators at different depths. They also work well with a lift-and-fall technique, where the bait aggressively darts upwards when the rod tip is lifted and then flutters downwards like a wounded baitfish when allowed to fall on slack line. This imitates the behavior of a baitfish trying to escape from predators in deeper waters.
The bait has two line-tie points that give different falling actions. 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, which help prevent hang-ups.
