BobP Posted October 11, 2010 Posted October 11, 2010 I fish southeastern reservoirs and have caught more bass burning a Shad Rap RS-5 (plastic w/rattles) over deep week beds than any other Rapala. The jointed RS-5's work just as well. Balsa versions of the Shad Raps work great too but are too light for me to cast on baitcasting gear. Anything in the DT series is a good bet but I use mostly DT-10's and 16's for deeper water. Best new Rapala? the DT Thug has a lot of thump and gets bit regularly. But I hate those Sure Set trebles and change them out. What works best for you will depend on where and how deep you fish. Personally, I've never caught a fish on an X-rap after hours of fishing them. Maybe they work great in northern waters? Maybe it's just me! Quote
