I am in a new area that has fairly low visibility do you have any suggestions for tgis setup for low visibility water. I have been using this technique in western clear water for years.
Is there a mega bass version
I always have one with me. Been fishing it for over 50 years. Caught my PB on one!
Once a classic always a classic.
The Rapala and Bang-O-Lure were my go to top water baits, great video! okie man now 74
My all time favorite topwater lure! I have been throwing a Gold 13F for about 50 years. I usually replace the rear hook with an Owner feathered teaser hook. It also catches fish just trolling it slowly behind the boat (with an occasional twitch) when you leisurely move from spot to spot. They also make an 18F that you can throw with a bait-casting setup.
Oh my goodness! 😃 I have that exact one in my Uncle Mike's tackle box. He needs to go into MY tackle box. lol
Thank you for the lesson Randy. 👍
i found one in my great grandfathers tackle box …. its kinda nasty . any tips on how to restore it ?
I still use the slightly smaller than that one w two hooks in several colors in pressured waters'- they run silent too. I have boxes of these from the 1&1/2 inch sinkers& x raps up to tge bigger magnums. theres a rapala for every type of fish; but that original floater gets smashed by bass to this day for sure.
I caught my first bass on a floating Rebel lure very similar to this one
i cant believe you have a lure that beat up, every lure iv ever had that is all chewed up i eventually lose it every single time.
❤ Use at night from shore in the shallows, slowly. Rapala has the best thump sound .They'll come up and hit it, even at high-pressure park lakes.
SHHHHHHH! 🤦🏻♂️
I've caught hundreds of bass on a Rapala.
My old man crushes them to this day on the Rapala minnow hell never take it off lol
I can cast the 13 size good on spinning with. Straight braid I used it as top water I was shown this tech we call twitching 40 yrs ago won tournaments on it caught bigs to
It's a topwater, it's a jerkbait, it's a crankbait, it's a fish catcher. It still works because there aren't a lot of people throwing it these days. My first lure when I was a kid, the gold one. Caught a 5 pounder on it in Pennsylvania when I was about 7 years old.
I think rapala are one of the most versatile lure you can get to fish any body of water and any predator species
Black/gold #11. Won a state championship years ago on a northeastern river system. Dead calm, overcast, shallow water, bridge abutments cast it out and dead stick it for as long as you can possibly stand it and then wait some more, then bingo! Great juice Randy
Randy, I have several large and small ones. Some I modified by using a lighter and bending the bill back. This makes the bait "walk" across the surface of the water.
