Rapala Rippin' Rap – Lipless Crankbait for Inshore and Freshwater Gamefish
The Rapala Rippin’ Rap is a lipless, deep-belly hard bait engineered for anglers who want versatility, action, and fish-attracting power in one lure. Its skinny side profile allows for a fluttering action on the drop, making it ideal for enticing strikes from bass, pike, snook, redfish, and other predatory fish in both freshwater and saltwater environments.
Whether retrieved fast or slow, the Rippin’ Rap produces a hard, vibrating action amplified by its loud BB rattle system, which mimics distressed baitfish and triggers aggressive strikes. Textured scales and gills, combined with deep-set 3D holographic eyes, create an ultra-realistic presentation that attracts wary fish in clear, stained, or dark water conditions.
This lure excels in a variety of fishing environments: pull it through grass, around timber, over rocks, or along structure. Its long-casting design allows anglers to cover more water while maintaining a variable running depth for maximum effectiveness. Equipped with fast-piercing VMC® black nickel hooks, the Rippin’ Rap ensures secure hook-ups with every strike.
