Quick take
This is the 2-3/4 inch Chrome Rippin' Rap, a 7/8 oz lipless bait that sinks. Its thin sides flutter on the drop and it vibrates on the retrieve, so it can be cranked, swum or jerked. A good fit for anglers who want a long-casting flash bait for shore, boat or kayak.
Best for
- Multi-species fishing from shore, boat or kayak
- Anglers preferring simple cast-and-forget presentations

Strengths
