Quick take
A small size 2 jigging shad in bluegill pattern for ice fishing and vertical jigging for panfish.
The Rapala Jigging Rap in the 05 size is a 2-inch vertical jigging lure with a weighted minnow shape, made to be swum in tight circles to draw suspended fish under ice or in open water. Anglers can also bounce it off the bottom in a yo-yo motion, and its two reversed single hooks with a center treble and eyelet give a spot to tip with bait. This Blugill Lure pattern suits anglers chasing bluegill and other panfish.
