Rapala Rippin' Rap

Unlike traditional crankbaits that have a diving lip, the Rippin' Rap is a lipless design. This allows it to sink, meaning you can control the depth of your retrieve rather than being limited by the lure's diving depth.

Yes, it is highly effective in stained water. The internal BB rattle system creates a loud, distinct sound that helps fish locate the lure even when visibility is low.

The lipless design is actually quite good at navigating cover. Because it doesn't have a protruding lip to catch on branches or weeds, you can rip it through grass or bounce it off timber without getting hung up as frequently as with deep-diving lures.

This lure is versatile. You can use a steady, hard-vibrating retrieve, or try a 'rip and pause' technique where you pull the rod tip sharply to trigger the rattle and then let it flutter down on the drop.

The Rippin' Rap comes equipped with VMC black nickel hooks, which are industry-standard for sharpness and strength. They are more than capable of handling aggressive strikes and larger game fish.
