Most effective Ice Raps & when to use them
Rapala
Rapala Jigging Raps, Rippin’ Raps and Slab Raps will all draw fish from far under the ice and into the strike zone below your hole. Knowing which one to tie on when will help you catch more and bigger fish this winter.
“All of them can be deadly any time of year, but as a rule of thumb, I’ll rely on different ones at different times as my go-to ‘search’ bait,” says in-demand Minnesota fishing guide Tony Roach, an ICE FORCE® pro.
Roach’s rule-of-thumb search-bait schedule is this:
Jigging Rap®s for early ice
Rippin’ Rap®s in mid-winter
Slab Rap®s later in the season
Of course, there’s always exceptions to the rule. Click here for an in-depth look at when and why Roach uses each bait to put more fish on the ice.
