Quick take
A 2.75-inch balsa topwater prop lure that dives and rolls on the retrieve, throwing water and sound to draw strikes.
The Rapala Skitter Prop 07 is a 2.75-inch floating balsa topwater bait with a stainless steel propeller that churns the surface. Pulled with a sharp snap, it dives and rolls, and a steady crank with pauses makes it sputter like a baitfish in trouble. It suits anglers who want a surface lure that works more than one retrieve, from bass cover to open shoreline.
Best for
- Shallow water around weeds and lily pads
- Early morning and late evening bass sessions
- Panfish in calm ponds
Skip if
- You need a lure for deep water
- You fish in strong wind
Strengths
- Balsa body floats and can be popped and worked on the surface
- Stainless steel propeller resists corrosion
- Compact size is easier to cast than larger props
Trade-offs
- Small balsa lures are fragile and dent easily
- Prop lures pull line twist; use a swivel to prevent it
- At 2.75 inches it may attract smaller fish
