Best Rapala Jointed Baits and How to Fish Them

Fishing Tips

Rapala

Rapala has put together a list of their best jointed baits as well as tips on how to fish them. The sometimes overlooked jointed minnow and shad baits can catch bass, walleye, pike, trout, panfish and more. Rapala says that "Their articulated bodies increase tail kick for an exaggerated swimming action and plenty of vibrations; traits that help them out-fish full-bodied lures at times."

If you are looking to try out these baits or you just need some extra advice, the five best Rapala baits are listed below and the full article is posted here.

Rapala Jointed

The Jointed is Rapala’s original broken back design. Built with Rapala’s classic minnow profile, its articulated body imparts more of an exaggerated distressed baitfish action. This floating, balsa lure comes in five sizes with diving depths spanning 3 to 14 feet. A wide colour selection provides options for any fishing scenario.

Scatter Rap Jointed

The 3-1/2 inch Scatter Rap Jointed has the same irresistible broken-back action as the original Jointed, but with an erratic, evasive action thanks to Rapala’s unique scatter lip. This balsa bait comes in 16 proven colours.

Jointed Shad Rap

The Jointed Shad Rap has one of Rapala’s most successful lure designs, but with an articulated body for a wider, more accentuated wounded-minnow, swimming action. These durable plastic, rattling baits come in 26 proven colours.

Jointed Deep Husky Jerk

This rugged, rattling, plastic lure offers the properties of an articulated lure but in a deep diving, suspending model. Available in 11 detailed finishes, including Green Tiger UV and Pink Tiger UV.
