basslikesworms Posted July 10, 2009 Posted July 10, 2009 I wanna buy a rapala floater for bass in a muddy pond. If it is also fit for trout will be better. Quote
mrlitetackle Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 im not sure on the size ratings for the rapala's..... but id have to say the one i always use is the "medium" size.....?? black on silver, its the way to go...... although i have had much more success with the jointed version..... same color, and "medium" size i suppose.

Super User Muddy Posted July 11, 2009 Super User Posted July 11, 2009 F-11 and 13 for LMB in silver and or gold, both have their days!!!!! Been using this lure since the mid sixties, Ol Reliable 8-) Quote
Super User Maxximus Redneckus Posted July 11, 2009 Super User Posted July 11, 2009 What muddy,mrlite and dave said but add firetiger too Quote
Koop Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 +2 for F-11 it is a solid producing lure. I also like the blue & silver. Quote
Big Mike in Fl Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 I like the 9's and 11's, in a silver, gold, goby, perch, or shiner several years ago, they had a color named silver minnow, it was actually kinda a baby blue, baby bass looking pattern, I loved it but they discontinued the color, and my last couple were stolen when I had an old tackle box stolen probably 6 years ago.

basslikesworms Posted July 11, 2009 Author Posted July 11, 2009 Thanks, guys. I will buy tomorrow. Bless me get big bass, haha..... Quote
Tucson Posted July 11, 2009 Posted July 11, 2009 Great bait, a real classic. If you're after trout I'd suggest the Gold /black back in F9. Bass seem to prefer a Silver/black in F11. Quote
Folshen Posted July 12, 2009 Posted July 12, 2009 I have the original and a jointed version in silver/black and I can't get over all the people who swear by it...I still tie one of them on here and there and never get a bite. I seem to have the best luck with a gold fluorescent red while the wife gets 90% of her fish on a blue and silver. Second choice would be the firetiger. Quote
Super User iceintheveins Posted July 13, 2009 Super User Posted July 13, 2009 I like sizes 9 and 11 for bass in chartreuse silver, natural perch, hot orange, and fire tiger. Quote
