Check out this Jigging Rap's!

[Big Daddy Benelli]

These ARE NOT REPAINTED, straight from Rapala. Their all size 3 except the orange and yellow one is a size 5. I can get more, but their about cheap. Not sold in the USA, I even have 2 different metallic red ones that work really well.

nice looking set there!! How much are they?

[Big Daddy Benelli]

Size 3 $8
Size 5 $9

With the weak US dollar and shipping it makes them more expensive... There have been times I've been out and they won't hit our US colors, and I'll throw down a color they never see and than, JACKPOT!!:lol:

[Mark Sylvester]

Are you offering to get these for us at that price??:confused:
If so let me know how you want to work it out.;)
Thanks:)

Those are some nice look'in rap's.I was wondering if you have or know were i can find the old perch colored rap with the orande belly and the v shaped black bars on the side.From what i've herd rapala is not going to paint that color anymore so if any body has some for sale i'm very interrested in buying them.

Still:confused:= Still Polish!!!:lol:

[Big Daddy Benelli]

Mark, you'd have to tell me what ones you'd like. Sometimes it's hard to get duplicates right away. I'd have to think of a fair way to make the transaction. To get them shipped here takes about a week.


As far as wanting the OLD firetiger I would check some of the online places away from Michigan. I just bought 5 of the OLD firetiger from Gander because they had some left. I like the old style better too!

Still:confused:= Still Polish!!!:lol:

Not to hijack this thread but do you guys keep the original trebles or replace them?

[MisterShoaf]

Extensive research has been poured into the fish eye and the color it sees. In my opinion there is nothing more important than color on a lure. I can't tell you how many times I have tried every color combination in my aresenal until something works, and when it does... Magic :coolgleam. If you have the way friend I would highly interested in finding out more.

[Big Daddy Benelli]

Most of the size 3 now come with a size 10 treble which is the size of the treble on a size 5. If the size 3 you bought has a size 12 treble, I would take it off and put on the size 10 treble for sure!

Wow Jamie looks like someone has too much money on their hands?? Did you apply and get some of the TARP funds, if so did they take shares in all of the pencil plugs you have? :lol:

Nice looking raps!

[stinger63]

They look dam good but at $8-$9 a pop:yikes:

[Clinch]

Why not just go get a bucket of real minnows? They work better and its alot less work than sittin there poppin the raps all day.

[Big Daddy Benelli]

I'll take that bet anyday!! Especially on a cold day while your hands are freezing from screwing with minnows. I only use spikes. My freezer is full, so I'll stick with it! How many diehard old timer that stack fish do you see using minnows during ice fishing?? NONE!

For perch I can outfish a minnow man any day. give me a spoon with a jensen egg or a rap. walleye are a little pickier. I use a minnow head on the bottom treble. Its only on real slow days will I resort to bait anymore. I think its just how much confidence you have.

[Big Daddy Benelli]

Is there a bet than?? Proof's in the gallery end of story... Summertime I would use minnow's only! They work when the fish get picky, but I still would rather not use them. DE82 I think you get my point... I would use wigglers before minnows. We all already carry alot out there as it is..

Minnows on a spreader in the summer and on whatever they will hit on in the winter.

I'm simply saying I know great ice anglers who like them better, everybody has what they like to do

[stinger63]

Nice debate going here.I know ice anglers that can outfish guys with minnows or any bait almost anytime.Im not one of them all the time..I like jigs with waxies and/or tipped with minnows or perch eyes myself.There are days when i have had fantastic success using a jiggin rap with a jenson egg and then days where a deadstick with a plain hook and minnow was better.It just depends on if the bite is on or the fish are being finicky.

[Mark Sylvester]

When they are in , in the winter I like a barbless hook with a bead...pop right off! man do I miss them days!!!!
