Rapala Report
The Rapala Twitchin’ Rap is BACK!
Based on angler demand, the Twitchin’ Rap has built a sort of cult following. The lure has reportedly been selling for $60 or more on E-Bay.
After retiring the Twitchin’ Rap a number of years ago, Rapala is bringing it back, and in a big way – with 10 new mouth-watering colors: Bone, Electric Chicken, Gold Black Mullet, Mullet, Purpledescent, Pilchard, Purple Chartreuse, Red Belly, Live River Shad, and Speckled Trout.
A favorite of both freshwater and saltwater anglers, the Twitchin’ Rap is designed for those situations when fish are easily spooked, such as clear water or shallow spots. The lure is especially popular for in-shore fishing along the Gulf Coast.
Fished with a “slide ‘n’ glide motion, when twitched, the wide profile of the lure glides and hangs. Twitch again, and it gently comes back. Reel it in steady for a gentle searching action. Allow it to sit, and it slowly sinks in a flutter action when paused.
The Twitchin’ Rap is made with premium balsa wood and with a through-wire construction. It has a running depth of a half-foot to 2 feet.
In addition to the ten new colors, the Twitchin’ Rap also comes in original Copper Flash, Hot Bone, and Hot Olive.
The Twitchin’ Rap has a body length of 3-1/8 inches and weighs 3/8 oz. It comes with two No. 3 VMC Black Nickel Round Bend Hooks.
The Twitchin’ Rap has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of US $10.99.
