Description

With a slight exaggeration of the unique Rapala "baitfish in distress" swimming action, the Jointed® gets the undivided attention of otherwise disinterested gamefish. This articulated, or "broken-back" bait can be fished top-to-bottom. Swimming action at the slowest of speeds makes this bait the perfect choice after a cold front when fish are traditionally finicky and in a negative feeding mood. Balsa wood construction with VMC® black nickel hooks. Each is hand-tuned and tank-tested for perfect swimming action right out of the box.

Field Notes

This jointed hard bait is designed to imitate a baitfish in distress with a broken-back swimming action. It is especially useful when fish are finicky after a cold front and want a slow, subtle presentation. Fish it with pauses and gentle twitches from top-to-bottom depending on the depth and cover.

Pros

  • Very slow-speed swimming action can trigger neutral fish
  • Jointed body adds an erratic, distressed baitfish look
  • Hand-tuned and tank-tested for consistent action

Cons

  • Likely less effective when fish want a fast-moving bait
  • Treble hooks and hard body can snag in heavy cover
