Rapala Ultra Light Minnow Lures 4cm

Since its establishment in 1936, Rapala has been one of the angling world's favourite fishing lure manufacture as well as being one of the leading innovators in fishing tackle lures. Rapala has an exceptional ability to continuously improve lure fishing forever being deeply motivated by the needs of the predator fishers.

All the Rapala lures have a wobble that imitates a wounded baitfish and can be seen in the superior know-how in lure design and traditional craftsmanship values that are combined with cutting edge technology and uncompromising quality control. Today’s technology allows very advanced and precise production methods, yet throughout the production process, the lure parts are repeatedly checked for quality. Rapala lures are still hand-tuned and tank-tested before packaging to assure your lure has the Rapala trademark swimming action that big fish cannot resist, straight out of the box.

For a big action in a small bait, the Ultra-light minnow lure from Rapala has 3g weighted body that can cast incredibly far for its 4cm length. The Ultra Light Minnow acts like a big bait but in a small, compact body. It casts incredibly far, with a running depth of 0.6-0.9 m  and offers a slow-sinking, hard-kicking action when in the water.

The slow sinking lure features a strong exaggerated hard kicking, with very little action required with rod movement when on a steady retrieve, so you can make sure this bait does not go unnoticed by the passing fish. You can securely hook bites with the two VMC black nickel round bend hooks, sized No. 10.

The unique lip design has placed the swimming lip right at the line tie and has been positioned and shaped to give strong performance whilst still being aerodynamic in the water. This allows for long and accurate casting as the lure is able to pass through the atmosphere of the air with ease to get to the desired place you are targeting. Once it hits the water, the lure with dive nose-first maintaining the fish-like resemblance.

The life-like similarity to the baitfish is also accomplished through the external scales on the paint and 3D holographic eyes that move with the angle the lure is posed at. You can customise further by selecting from the two available colourations, choose from the silver-blue or brown trout baitfish designs.

This lure will naturally swim at less than one metre deep but can be fished deeper using the countdown method. Rapala specialists give the tip to use the countdown method to thoroughly fish through the water column. Once the lure sinks to the desired depth, start a slow and regular retrieve so the lure can hold its depth. Irregular retrieves will give the lure additional action and flash.

So, when gaining bites is getting tough, you could try downsizing to a smaller presentation with the Ultra-light Minnow so you can tempt predators with an easy meal.
