Quick take
2 in hand-tuned rattling topwater with harmonic BBs and signature Rapala wobble for panfish and bass.
The Rattlin' Rapala 05 is a 2-inch lipless sinking lure with a built-in rattle chamber that gives off sound to draw fish in. Its slim, flat-sided body and 3/8-ounce weight make it a long caster, and the running depth shifts with how fast it is retrieved. The bluegill pattern suits anglers working panfish or bass in many kinds of cover.
