The Rapper 128 SLS

By April 14, 2021Pike, Bait, SPRO

The Rapper is not a new musician from the obvious genre, but a lure that has reappeared in the SPRO range. The Rapper is one of the first and best-known jerkbaits on the market and is still a very popular lure. With its 12.8 cm length, this jerkbait is the perfect morsel for our pike, driving the predators crazy with its easy-to-animate gliding movements.

This beautiful pike couldn't resist the rapper.

The inner values

This bait has a weight of 49.6gr and is therefore easy to cast with any average pike rod. However, we recommend choosing a slightly harder rod in order to be able to transfer the strikes 1:1 to the bait.

Built-in rattles enable predators to locate the bait even in poor visibility conditions, so that it does not go unnoticed for long.

The rapper attracts attention by hitting the water.

Sinking jerkbait

The SLS designation of the jerkbait stands for slow sinking. This means that the lure can also be offered in shallow trenches and stretches of water without running aground before it is animated.

Especially in winter, such a slow-sinking bait can also provide good bites in deeper waters.

The Rapper is available in 6 successfully tested colors.

A look at the exterior

At first glance, what is the point of the inner values if we first encounter the outer appearance?

Pike have many and above all sharp teeth. The material chosen for the bait is therefore extremely impact-resistant. This drastically reduces the destructive effect of pike teeth.

The color selection of the Rapper ranges from bright to natural colors. There is a total of 6 decors to choose from.

The Rapper is equipped with sharp hooks from Gamakatsu.

Secure hold thanks to Gamakatsu

A lure without a hook is like an angler without a rod. For this reason, the Rapper is equipped with Gamakatsu Treble 13 treble hooks. The size #1 hooks provide the perfect complement and allow only a few drop-outs or even missed bites.

All in all, this lure is a "must have" for fans of jerkbait fishing, but is also particularly suitable for beginners who do not yet have much experience in guiding these lures.
