In the world of fishing, innovation often paves the way for smarter techniques and more successful outings. Berkley has just unveiled its latest creation: the Ripfish. This unique bait promises to change the way anglers engage with their craft, offering both a quick drop and an exceptional glide.
"The Ripfish is a disruptive hybrid lipless and glide bait combination for today’s power-finesse anglers," said Chris Seylar, Assistant Product Manager – Core Bait. This innovative design combines a fast-dropping lipless feature with the gliding action of a hard bait, allowing fishermen comprehensive control over their presentations.

The Ripfish showcases a sleek, minnow-like body that excels in both vertical fishing and forward-facing sonar use. Its flat-bottom design contributes to its well-balanced and responsive movement. "It delivers unmatched control and versatility, whether you’re working it vertically or horizontally," Seylar explained. This adaptability enables the Ripfish to effectively dart, glide, and hover to attract fish, adapting quickly to whatever method an angler chooses.

One of the distinguishing factors that set the Ripfish apart is its ability to provoke aggressive strikes. With capabilities that allow for rapid sinking through the water column and encouraging striking movements like yo-yoing, this bait remains in the optimal strike zone. The high-pitched rattle adds to the appeal, breaking away from conventional glide baits that often lack this feature.

The Ripfish isn't just about looks either; the lure is equipped with essential features for success. It comes with two Fusion19 treble hooks that enhance hook-up ratios significantly. Additionally, the lifelike finish and 3D eyes contribute to the bait's realism, making it even more enticing to fish.
The design focuses on deliverable benefits. "No other bait moves quite like it or covers water the same way; it truly stands alone in its class," highlighted Seylar. The Ripfish's strategic design elements not only ensure greater control but also allow anglers to exploit various fishing techniques efficiently.
