Rapala Rippin’ Rap – Lipless Vibrating Hard Bait for Inshore & Freshwater Fishing
The Rapala Rippin’ Rap is a high-performance lipless hard bait engineered for anglers targeting predatory fish in freshwater and inshore saltwater environments. Its deep belly, tall and skinny body profile allows for an aggressive swimming and fluttering action, perfect for cranking, ripping, and bouncing off structures like timber, rocks, and grass beds. The lure’s hard vibrating action is enhanced by a loud BB rattle system, providing an audible strike trigger for bass, pike, redfish, snook, striped bass, and other predatory species.
Designed for long casts and variable running depth, the Rippin’ Rap performs well in both clear water, where a natural appearance is critical, and stained or murky water, where vibration and sound attract attention. The textured scale and gill details paired with deep-set 3D holographic eyes maximize realism and provoke aggressive strikes. Equipped with fast-piercing VMC® black nickel hooks, anglers are assured strong hooksets for confident fish fighting.
