New Minnow Rap to Come in Classic and Bleeding PatternsIt's been called the offspring of a famous heritage, and we like that. Because it is. The new Minnow Rap is the latest balsa creation from Rapala, the only company in the world that can make lots of lures from balsa that all swim the same, right out of the box.
Whether you're a fish or a fisherman, you recognize the shape as that of a 'baitfish' that big fish are born to chomp down on. This lure has the swimming action of a Shad Rap, in a thin 'minnow' profile.
In a never-ending quest to marry the best of old world craftsmanship and modern technology, the Minnow Rap will be available in two distinctly different versions. Classic Patterns will feature clear diving lips and VMC black nickel hooks.
Bleeding Patterns will sport red diving lips, bleeding gills and VMC red hooks to give off the ultimate wounded minnow impression.
Hall-of-Famer Al Lindner already calls the Minnow Rap, “a multi-species fish catching machine,” and says in his testing, he can't find a fish “that can resist its shivering wiggle.”
The new Minnow Rap will come in No. 9 size, measuring 3 1/2 inches long and weighing 5/16 oz.
The color patterns are true Rapala in quality and detail. Classic Patterns include Silver, Shad, Perch, Yellow Perch, Firetiger, Hot Tiger, Hot Steel and Purpledescent. Bleeding Patterns will be Bleeding Copper Flash, Bleeding Hot Olive, Bleeding Olive Flash and Bleeding Pearl.
It's a shad. It's a minnow. It's both.Best of all, it's a balsa Rapala.
