Rapala Scatter Rap Minnow, 4-3/8"

First night out i cought 4 eyes and 15 smallies in one hour. Dose not cast good up wind. All and all this one will sit next to my husky jerk and the othert go to bates in my box.

The original Rapala floating minnow has always been one of my most reliable fish catchers.

The scatter rap has the same body but a different diving lip which gives it a more rolling action and causes it to quickly veer off to the side when you speed up your retrieve and then return to the orginal path.

I used it for the first time today and the largemouths and pickeral liked it just fine.

I can't say that the scatter rap is "better" than the original, which is hard to improve on. But I'm sure that there are situations where its more frantic action will trigger strikes that the original would not.

The only disadvantage compared to the original is that the scatter rap doesn't cast as well. Seems that the broader diving lip makes it less aerodynamic.

But this is a minor disadvantage, especially when you're fishing from a boat.

All in all, the scatter rap is an excellent addition to my tacklebox.

Amazing bait, caught some of my 3 biggest bass on it already and a good number of fish on it.
