New Jigging Rap 11 and 13 Fishing Jigging Rap Rods are Paired for Success

When it comes to vertical presentations on open or hardwater, or pinpoint targeting suspended fish using FFS, few, if any, baits can compare to the highly versatile Rapala® Jigging Rap®. Now, with the addition of the new size No. 11, the legend of this go-to multi-species bait just got a little bit bigger.  

With five proven profile lengths already in the family, the new size No. 11 Jigging Rap (4-⅜ inches) and weighs 1 oz, giving anglers the ability to drop a larger portion on the plates of big fish looking for a bigger feast.  The super fast rate of fall can be the difference in getting these big fish to bite.  

The weighted body design of the Jigging Rap makes it the perfect choice when targeting suspended fish - any fish - at any depth of the water column. Swimming in tantalizing circles that fish just can’t resist, the Jigging Rap’s balanced minnow profile sinks quickly, and can also be bottom bounced with a quick snap or yo-yo’ed for unbeatable results. 

When paired with FFS, the Jigging Rap’s balanced design with single reverse nose and tail hooks and VMC® center treble and line tie proves just as efficient at triggering bites. This allows anglers to cover a lot of water and quickly get the bait in a fish’s face when a big blip swims onto the screen.   

No matter the season, no matter the species, the Jigging Rap has earned its reputation as one of the most effective multi-species baits in fishing today. The new No. 11 size takes this legendary versatility to a new level by answering the call for a bigger, heavier fish snack.   

The new No. 11 Jigging Rap is available in 16 colors, including: Chrome Blue, Clown, Fruit Punch, Gold, Glow Green Tiger, Glow Hot Perch, Glow, Glow Tiger, Glow Yellow Perch, Juicy Lucy, Perch, Purpledescent, Purple Shades, Pearl White, Silver, and Wonder Tiger. 

The new No. 11 Jigging Rap weighs in at 1 oz, and has a No. 6 VMC Center Treble.

Rapala’s Jigging Rap is undoubtedly one of the most beloved, incomparable baits to ever exist. Anglers who swear by this lure deserve a rod of equal caliber to maximize the action of the Jigging Rap. 

That’s exactly what the team at 13 Fishing® thought when they developed the new Jigging Rap Rod, designed specifically to accompany Rapala’s famous Jigging Rap lure. To develop the perfect rod, 13 Fishing partnered with Duane Hjelm, Jigging Rap guru and four-time national walleye tour champion.

“One of the biggest mistakes people make fishing with Jigging Raps is their rod,” said Hjelm. “Everything we did with this rod was for a specific reason, to make it the best Jigging Rap rod available. I finally feel like we have the perfect rod specifically for jig fishing.” 

Fans of Hjelm know that, if he tells you a rod is the right one, it’s the right rod. The Jigging Rap Rod is available in both the Myth and Oath™ series. Its parabolic bend, combined with a fast-action tip, helps anglers impart the correct action on the bait. At 6’10”, the length of the rod is the perfect length to cast from the front of the boat. 

The rod features a premium split-grip design for ultimate comfort, so you can stay on the water longer without getting sore hands or arms.
