Spent 6 hours ripping one. Finally switched to a jigging rap after spooking the 3 fish that came in for a look and finally got bit. I think I will leave them in my boat next winter.

The Rippin Rap will catch anything! lol Thanks to Ice Asylum I have my own little addiction to using them but not in the way most would
January 18, 2018 at 12:32 pm #1745386finally caught my first fish on a rippin rap. leading up to it was pretty funny cause my buddy was giving me a hard time about how he thinks these lures don’t catch anything and hes never seen anyone catch a fish on one. We were having a good laugh about it and I had the same sentiments but said I was dedicated to making a go of it. Full Disclosure im about 4 sheets to the wind in this picture

January 18, 2018 at 4:06 pm #1745454I don’t think that counts crappie. Looks like that little guy was sleeping peacfully on the bottom and you ripped it into his chin.

January 20, 2018 at 8:40 pm #1745952Rippin Raps work great. Caught this 24″ on one today. Thanks to James for showing us how to use them.

January 20, 2018 at 10:34 pm #1745974I have a few, and I’ve had pretty decent success on Petenwell and Castle Rock. I typically give it an 18” rip followed by a series of 2-3 pops, rinse and repeat until I mark a fish. Once I mark a fish, I slow it way down and rock the bait – I can usually tell within a few seconds if a fish is going to commit. It’s a blast watching how fired up fish get with these baits!

January 21, 2018 at 9:28 pm #1746254Mike is the reason I’ll always try Rippin raps on big walleye waters first! But Randys right lol lucky turd!
January 22, 2018 at 4:42 pm #1746503Ok so anyone that has a hard time believing in the rippin rap can take my word for it as it just takes practice learning how to jiggle it just right lol I even have video proof the big girls like them!
January 23, 2018 at 2:02 pm #1746815Sure I could be the worlds greatest trailer builder and not get the recognition for it. But am fortunate enough to stick a nice fish before a wonderful friend and top of the line outdoorsman does and I get the title of “turd”. Thanks for a great day Randy
Ow by the way to stay on topic this girl chased down a #4 glow perch Rippin Rap and made #3 between 27 & 28” this season.

January 23, 2018 at 2:31 pm #1746830Isn’t jealousy the ultimate compliment? I was too busy digging an orange rap out of 12″ eye
January 23, 2018 at 2:38 pm #1746832The rippin rap did it for me this past weekend on URL. A good 50% of the fish came on them, mainly Pink UV and Blue Chrome.

Just curious what did the other 50% get caught on?

Of the 50% of fish not on a rippin rap, it was probably another split between spoons and bobbers. Spoons were mostly JR’s Pink Buckshot and the new Tundra Firefly.
January 24, 2018 at 9:09 am #1747004I bet they work great on big lakes like UPRL. Those eyes will hit anything up there. The pressured smaller lakes, no way. Maybe if you are on a smaller pressured lake at dusk, away from shantyville, you have a chance….maybe? I have yet to try the new snack size rap, those I could see working on the lakes I fish. Nice fish guys!
January 24, 2018 at 11:12 am #1747035I usually tip mine too.

January 26, 2018 at 7:09 am #1747482I’ve got a lake back be hind my house in the woods at the DNR are used for a rearing pond it’s full of 8 to 10 inch perch. Makes it easier to gets your Cadence down on what the fish likes, Thats where I go to test new lures. The Ripping rap is one of my favorites
January 30, 2018 at 11:00 am #1748434Going to LOTW for the first time Feb 9-11 should I think about picking up a couple of these? I have heard nothing but good things. I was probably going to try these and the VMC rattle spoons, any recommendations for color?

Yes! I would for sure have a few on hand. For colors, Red, Pink, Gold and sometimes green for LOTW. I have had VERY good luck with the Pink UV and Glow Goldfish Tumbler spoons up there.
January 30, 2018 at 3:52 pm #1748545October 29, 2018 at 8:15 pm #1806568I got uv green, uv pink and the uv orange this year and they don’t glow. At all anyone notice that?
October 29, 2018 at 9:15 pm #1806575They aren’t suppose to glow. UV means they reflect more UV light from the sun. Put it under a black light (UV light) and that is pretty much what the fish see. A more fluorescent offering. Think of it like a nice bright fluorescent tip on the end of a noodle rod. We can see that much much better than a plain tip. Same goes for fish and UV lures.

Love this bait for carappie. I’ve been tipping the rear treble hook with a waxie.Sorry to bump the old thread, but I see James using that split grip rod in a lot of videos and it is not the Commander he is normally using? Is that a 36 Precision?
