midnighthrasher Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 I'm getting a real sweet deal on rapala lures so i was wondering what everyones favorites were??? Lure, size, color.... Thanks in advance. Quote
Super User Big Bait Fishing Posted January 8, 2010 Super User Posted January 8, 2010 the DT series , the deeper diving ones ( DT10-DT20 ) . i like the more realistic color lures like the bluegill color, shad color , craw colored ones , etc... Quote
hmongkidBee Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 hey get some X-raps. XR-06 and 08 have caught me some nice bass. Quote
tholmes Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 original floater and shad rap. ^X2. Silver w/black back and bluegill colors work for me. Sizes 11 and 13 for the Original Floater and the 3/8 oz. Shad Rap. Tom Quote
Primus Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 They've already been mentioned but I agree that the DT series cranks, original floating model, X rap & Shad raps would be great additions to anyones arsenal. I've also been hearing good things about the DT Fat shallow runners but it's a bait that I haven't got around to using yet, maybe I'll try it next season. Quote
Super User KYntucky Warmouth Posted January 8, 2010 Super User Posted January 8, 2010 My favorite thing about Rapala is their natural finishes like the Bluegill and Baby Bass baits. The DT cranks are all I really use and I don't use them much. I also like the shad-raps. Quote
zero limit Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 original floater and shad rap. x2 also xrsh8 in blk & gold, glass ghost & firetiger dtfat3 silver. around here the blk. & gold works really well Quote
Triton21 Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 original floater and shad rap. x2 also xrsh8 in blk & gold, glass ghost & firetiger dtfat3 silver. around here the blk. & gold works really well Xs 4 Kelley Quote
bocabasser Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 skitter prop. best prop bait on the market. especially after it receives a custom paint job by dsaaavedra. Quote
BassnMan Mike Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 The discontinued Down Deep Rattlin Fat Rap 5 & 7 in Natural Shad. I'm down to my last 6 and I sure wish I could find more of them. Quote
Super User Dwight Hottle Posted January 8, 2010 Super User Posted January 8, 2010 My very favorite rapala for deep applications for smallmouth is a deep tail dancer TDD09 dives to 20 feet. Best colors for me are clown on cloudy & sunny days & perch on sunny days. I caught my biggest smallie on them. Best shallow application is the original floating rapala in F11 or F13 size pick a color. Quote
zero limit Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 Another i use but for Lake Michigan shore salmon Is the j-13 fire tiger Quote
kbkindle Posted January 8, 2010 Posted January 8, 2010 around here in my home lakes sr-7.s---best but use #6---7---8---#6 when there hitting short &7all the time and 8 when large mouth are hitting good. Quote
Super User .dsaavedra. Posted January 9, 2010 Super User Posted January 9, 2010 DT is my favorite. like them all though. Quote
VABassin'14 Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Huskey Jerk, H-J 12 or 14. Oh yeah, I forgot the best top water lure on the market, IMO, the skitter walk in bluegill. Quote
knap Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 X raps are not bad. does anyone ever use the rapala sub walk? Quote
nubasser Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 shad rap(shad color) huskey jerk(shad color) Quote
tnbassfisher Posted January 9, 2010 Posted January 9, 2010 Another vote for the DT series. Also the Xrap, and Ratlin' Rapala. Quote
