In a significant expansion of its lineup, Rapala® has introduced the bigger size No. 11 Jigging Rap®, enhancing its reputation as a go-to bait for anglers. This release is set to revolutionize vertical fishing techniques across various water bodies.
"When it comes to vertical presentations on open or hard water, or pinpoint targeting suspended fish using FFS, few, if any, baits can compare to the highly versatile Rapala Jigging Rap,” said company representatives. With a length of 4-⅜ inches and weighing in at 1 ounce, the new size No. 11 is designed to appeal to larger fish in need of a satisfying meal.
The Jigging Rap's well-crafted weighted body ensures effectiveness at various depths, allowing for seamless targeting of suspended fish. Its design has anglers excited, as it not only sinks quickly but can also be bottom-bounced or jerked in a yo-yo motion, both of which have proven to yield impressive results.
Furthermore, the No. 11's compatibility with Fish Finder Sonar (FFS) enables anglers to cover extensive areas quickly. "The Jigging Rap’s balanced design with single reverse nose and tail hooks and VMC center treble allows anglers to get the bait right in a fish’s face when a big blip appears on the screen," representatives added, highlighting its effectiveness in triggering bites.

Known for its versatility across seasons and species, the Jigging Rap's latest size aims to meet the angler's desire for larger bait options. The new offering's manufacturer suggested retail price is set at US $10.99, a competitive price point for high-quality fishing gear.
Available in 16 distinct colors, including favorites like Chrome Blue, Clown, and Pearl White, anglers can choose according to their preferences and specific fishing conditions.
