Never have I used a lure that was more versatile, and consistently caught fish for me on any given waterbody. Not to mention this lure can also be used to catch almost any species of fish!
You can twitch this lure slowly on the surface as a topwater, or you can add weight and run it just above bottom or bounce it off bottom as you would a crankbait. As long as the lures moving, it produces the classic "Rapala Wiggle" which mimicks an injured baitfish... Im sure all the lakes you fish have baitfish, or small fish and this is one of the reasons this lure is so deadly!..
I remember the days where you only had a few colours to choose from, but nowadays there is so many variations it can make you a little confused...
I personally, in clear water use a silver/ black original, or any natural colour depending on the baitfish in that area...If the water is murky, or it is a dark day I will use brighter colour combinations... Keep it simple, and if you can try and mimick the local fish that are in the waterbody it can pay off huge.
Steelhead, Salmon, Trout, Bass, Musky, and Walleye are just a few species I have caught on this lure..
Every tackle box should have one at least if not a few.
I must end this by paying Tribute to Mr. Laurie Rapala for crafting a lure that has been such a big part of my success with fishing, and providing me with many memories and more to come Im sure.... Tight Lines Always
