noogai13 Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 There's a lot of commotion going on about the slim minnow giants so what's your favorite? The plastic Rebel or the wooden Rapala? Quote
-nick- Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 The only Rebel I actually use is their popper which is an awesome popper btw. Quote
Chris Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 If given the choice between the two I like Rapala. There are some properties that a wood bait has that in a jerkbait is a plus. Rapala's in the plastic jerkbait models are a better bait in my opinion. Quote
I.rar Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 got a couple rebels when boaters world went out. they run every way but right. havnt tried them since , but i dont think ill be buying anything from them again. never had a problem with any rapala. Quote
tnbassfisher Posted January 1, 2010 Posted January 1, 2010 I like Rapala better. But I do prefer the Rebel Crawfish over others like it. Quote
Super User Goose52 Posted January 1, 2010 Super User Posted January 1, 2010 I think Rapala is probably the superior bait overall. However, I've probably used Rebels more often due to price considerations or availability. By availability, I'm flashing back to the 1960s when I was with my Dad in a 12' jonboat fishing in South Florida. We would cruise by some spots that were popular with bank fisherman and sometimes find some nice lures hung up in the brush on the opposite bank. When we would find a minnow-like bait, it was usually a Rebel since Rapalas were more expensive even back then and most people back then were VERY price conscious! I still have, and fish, some of those 1960s Rebels! Quote
zero limit Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I like Rapala better. But I do prefer the Rebel Crawfish over others like it. x2 Quote
Super User Crestliner2008 Posted January 2, 2010 Super User Posted January 2, 2010 Rapala here too! Quote
Chaz Hickcox Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 Rapala just seems to be of better quality. Like someone else said the only Rebel I have is a Pop-R. The Rapalas will last forever, I still have some jointed minnows I bought in 1994. Quote
noogai13 Posted January 2, 2010 Author Posted January 2, 2010 Great! I love getting consistent answers. Quote
Super User Raul Posted January 2, 2010 Super User Posted January 2, 2010 Rapala owns the world record for the most world records caught with an artificial lure. Too bad Rapala doesn 't have a lure like Rebel 's Wee Frog. BTW about 80% of the 600+ cranks I own are Rapala. Quote
BUCKEYEone Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I like Rapala better. But I do prefer the Rebel Crawfish over others like it. make that x3! x2 Quote
RedhookRR Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Rapala. Still have and use my first one that my dad gave my back in the 80's. Quote
detroit1 Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Rapala- and it's not even close. Rebel does make my favorite small crank...the deep wee "r" in craw color. Quote
Primus Posted January 3, 2010 Posted January 3, 2010 Rapala, they have a great line-up baits and most are under 10$. Floating Rapala, X raps, DT cranks are some of the terrific baits that they offer. Quote
