Rapala

The range of lures has greatly developed to offer a huge choice. Some models are simply legends like the Rapala Original Floater 7cm or the Rapala Jointed Shad Rap. They have helped to establish the brand's popularity with their formidable effectiveness in various bodies of water where they have been tested.

In order to become more specific according to the countries, models have been specifically designed for certain species. The Rapala Ultra Light Pop will particularly target perches while a Rapala X-Rap Peto will clearly destined to attract beautiful Swedish or French pike. Other lure series exist, as well for the sea like the Rapala X Rap Twitchin or the Rapala X Rap Magnum.

The brand did not stop there. They managed to develop series of knives and very well-finished accessories for fishermen of all backgrounds. You will find pliers for your Shadow Rap, weights, various pliers, and also very popular float tubes.

The different ranges of Rapala lures

Fishing lures from Rapala are classified according to series. You will find the Originals with the oldest series, the X-Rap series, or the Maxrap or Shadow Rap series among many others.

With their balsa construction and hand-tuning, the swimming fish in the Original series are old models. They have demonstrated their effectiveness over years on different predators around the planet. The Rapala Jointed Shad Rap will, for example, be an articulated version just like the Rapala Deep Tail Dancer will be a diving version.

The X-Rap models came out a few years ago and revolutionized the brand's previously ancient models. The Rapala X Rap Peto, Rapala X Rap Saltwater, to name just a few, helped the brand to develop a little more on the international scene and compete with major Japanese brands with impeccable finishes.

That's how we saw the appearance of Rapala X Rap Pop for surface fishing or the Rapala X Rap Countdown which quickly became a must for trout fishing. Other models will be specifically studied for sea fishing with the Rapala X Saltwater and X Rap long cast shallow.

Recently the world of fishing turned towards downsizing. This allows to propose small lures to catch all sizes of fish. A series has also been offered with Rapala ultra light minnow or the Rapala Ultra Light crank.

The last major series in Rapala ranges, the Maxrap, is intended for fishing in saltwater environments. Most of the models have a mass transfer to achieve good casting distances.

The different lures from Rapala by type of fish

Another way of classifying lures is generally by type or family. Indeed, some models of swimming lures from Rapala will be intended for the pursuit of marine species while others will target freshwater fish.

For the pursuit of bass or sea bass, we will use specific models. We can equip ourselves with a Rapala Deep Tail dancer for trolling, or a Rapala X Rap Magnum. Their lip will have been designed to descend to specific depths.

For perch, we can rely on small lures with the ideal profile. From poppers with the Rapala Ultra Light Pop to crankbaits with the Rapala Ultra Light Crank. They will have the characteristic of being easily gobbled and equipped with hooks of adequate size for these predators.

The black bass also has its own specific models. Rapala has thus particularly developed fun series for surface fishing. The Rapala X Rap Pop will be particularly appreciated thanks to its concave mouth that pops without any effort.

The pike will not be left out. You will find old models that have more than proven their worth like the Rapala jointed. But new series have been developed specifically for this fish. We think particularly of the X Rap Peto which was the first piece of a very popular series exclusive to this species. We will then find hybrid lures but also a series of spoons from Rapala.

For sea fishing in general, there are many models, whether for cast and retrieve or other techniques. The Rpala X Rap Cast Shallow will excel in casting distance to reach schools of fish, while the Rapala X Rap Twitchin will excel in dynamic animations near fish holding zones.

Rapala, also a series of Float Tubes

In order to diversify its offer, the Rapala brand has developed a whole series of accessories. This includes pliers, waders, clothing, sunglasses, and all other fishing accessories for the angler. One of the latest developments came from a very successful series of Float Tubes.

The range of float tubes by Rapala has been developed around four different models. They have been designed to match your budget for your purchase. Fishermen with the least time to dedicate to their passion can be content with simple models, while the more demanding can opt for the premium model.

All models are delivered with a pump, a repair kit, and carrying straps to facilitate your movements from one spot to another. The finish is impeccable and the comfort is there. All you have to do is equip yourself with a vest and learn how to use the flippers to be ready for your first outing.
