About the Jigging Rap
A hard-bodied, minnow-shaped lure with a center-balanced line tie that darts in a circle when jigged aggressively. The Rapala Jigging Rap is the original, and it produces through ice and in open-water vertical situations. The erratic circular darting motion triggers predatory instinct in walleye, perch, and pike. Snap it up sharply, then let it settle on a tight line — the strike comes as it glides back to center.
