"Must Have" Rapala Lures And Why:

X-Rap Deep 10 - The magic of the X-Rap Deep 10 is that in cold and pre-spawn conditions, you can get it down 8 to 10 feet, fishing it as slow as you want and keep it at that depth. This technique will trigger all those giant bass down deep.

Clackin’ Rap - There is something really special about the Clackin’ Rap. It’s the right size, and the unique sound it produces really attracts some big fish.

Skitter Walk - This is the best top water lure out there! It helped me get tournament victories time and time again.
