Rapala Fishing Changes Forever... Countdown? 2024
jhoffman reply :
Just placed a paxil order for the bait monkey on tackle warehouse and noticed that rapala has some sort of count down to a release...
Fishing Changes Forever In
10Days 11hours ....
Anyone got any insight?
jhoffman reply :
Allright I am dign here maybe this is it?
Rapala has an ad on their site that says something about evasive action is coming and it looks like maybe a triggerfish type of swim but doesnt show a lure.
SudburyBasser reply :
A Rapala branded A-rig with Banjo Minnows on it.
bigfishbk86 reply :
Maybe they'll just completely do away with their customer service department that refuses to do anything about their junk lures, and drop the price $1 per bait.

My cousin absolutely CRUSHED me one time on a creek with smallmouths and a banjo minnow. It was absurd. I was throwing live shiners, he was throwing that and outfishing me easy 10:1
SudburyBasser reply :
That's why Rapala is going in that direction. Balsa only gets you so far.
rbreedi1 reply :
I saw that ad as well
fl_bass reply :
Saw the ad. Maybe a new walk the dog style hard bait.
jhoffman reply :
if a new walk the dog is changing fishing forever they might wanna start exploring other avenues unless they figured out a way to just reel and it walks on its own

This...lol the worst customer service in the industry..........
Hooligan reply :
The bait they're coming out with is a new style of crankbait. Similar in form to a shad bodied bait, or a shad rap. The difference is the way the bill is formed. It's a cup, or accentuated U shaped bill, if you will. It's hard to describe it exactly. And I don't currently have pictures. What's unique is that the lure readily changes direction and speed. It's a very, very unique design, but it isn't game changing; yet. I've not fished the release version. It's a pretty cool bait...

Glad to see that someone else knows and posted. I have been trying to decide whether or not to post that info since I saw this thread.
BassCats reply :
Rapala sponsored the Bass University Class I attended this past weekend. The pros were willing to trade any of the baits in their box for the new Rapala DT 6 in a Red crawfish pattern. Guy next to me got a two brand new Lucky Craft pointers for that one crankbait. They may have horrible customer service, but they are good baits.
Shane J reply :
Me too. It's not just that, either. The hard bait world is about to change. There will be a pro, not sure if I should mention who or not, so I won't, that will be using this at the Classic.

I just saw that count down too. On the back of my Ontario Outdoors magazine there's an advertisement for a new hard bait called the "Balsa Xtreme" or "BX Series"
maybe that's what its for.
Shane J reply :
This is something new. Actually, Bobby, you should pay attention, because it's going to affect the spinnerbait world, too.

Hmmm, and I've run out of space in my present crankbait box. Sigh.
Well, it will be interesting to see if this is the new now or the next helicopter lure. Either way, if a pro wins using this at the Classic, Rapala will be printing money for the next decade.

They can trade for every DT6 they want, that bat is nothing compared to this. There's only one or two pros that have the bait.

Ott had a heavy, heavy influence in the design of this bait. My money is on him fishing it extensively at the Classic if the correct conditions are introduced.
Someone posted that it's similar to a sub-surface Triggerfish. Not really. Very different in the way it works. The dive angle is huge, and the speed, as well as the movement. It's very, ,very different.

Does it make it back to the boat in one piece if it hits a rock during the retrieve? That's my biggest hang up with Rapala cranks, a 7-10 dollar bait should not fall apart that easily.
jhoffman reply :
If it dives that deep that rapidly it might give the 10xd a run for its money?
Shane J reply :
The 10xd fills a small niche, while this new thing covers a much wider range of applications. It's not just one lure. It may be coming out as one, and that's how it will be introduced, but it will be used for waaay more than that.

Is this a modular based bait? One that the sections can be swapped out for another?
Shane J reply :
Aaah... we have a thinker. The original concept and design, yes. Turns out, that's not the best way to make money for a company, so it is being incorporated into a line of cranks.

Hope there is a bunch of R&D behind it.
When you say "modular," I hear falling apart on the retrieve.
Shane J reply :
Nothing's falling apart. There was a working prototype a year ago, but like you said, it takes time for R&D and copyrights. Oh yeah, and filming it in action!

It is close to this but is not this exactly. I feel that it will be a huge game changer in certain conditions if it preforms like I was told it would.
PABASS reply :
I thought about this idea when I purchased my first jointed bait, I was just a kid then and life took me another direction so I never put idea to paper.. This school of thought can change many baits we use today, I don't think connectivity will be an issue just take the concept of the latch for a vehicle and apply similar technologies to a bait and it wont break..

There are a lot of people that are waiting to get their hands on them again, myself included.
Will it catch fish without falling apart? Yes, it does.
Do I have pictures? No, I already said as much.
It's not as deep as a 10XD in the production models I've seen. There is talk af making deep cranks that will compete with it in this same style of bait.
I'm no longer actively involved with R&D with Rapala and that's the only reason I'm talking about it now.

Maybe this new bait has an adjustable diving lip?
Sam reply :
Only problem I have ever had with any Rapala products was the plastic bill breaking when I threw it into riprap. Rock vs. plastic = Rock 1 Plastic 0.
Totally my fault.
I use the #5 and #7 Shad Raps and they seem to work everywhere and have all but two of Ike's DT line. Will throw those this spring and summer.
Sorry to hear that the company has poor customer service.

I am the first to give credit where it is do- If i believe that it will help anglers catch more fish-GOOD FOR RAPALA..They deserve it.
As a designer -I applaude innovation.It makes us who we are- Be different-Think outside the pond-
But i will say -I am a critic-I know from being under the water and on top of it-the triggering qualities of a bait. They often go by fish unnoticed or undetected-the bas dont give a hoot what the humans say works,

I've seen this demonstrated at a recent distributor show in a hotel pool... It is quite impressive... And after reviewing the press release Im glad to see they are offering it a few styles and not limiting it to one line... The only question left for me is will it catch fish... With the money Rapala is dumping into marketing... plus the years of R & D, as well as the money they fronted for production, and finally the sheer extent they are gonna display this in many retailers.. It has to be successful.. or they will be out alot of money.. and without a doubt when I say alot of money I bet 7 figures...

We're not talking about the same thing then. The bait in question won't be available for orders (to the wholesale or distribution level) until late February. I know there are fewer than 10 people at the organization I deal with that have seen it.

Hooligan, No we are talking about the same thing... I can PM to get into alot more details.. I know a certain distributor that placed orders for it at the end of January when the Reps displayed it at the show.. They were very strict as to no pictures to be taken. And no dealers were allowed. I know of another distributor who has just in the last few days began pre ordering it for their accounts.
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
Well, got to see a pic of the bait.
Interesting looking. Didnt get to see the action but I was told that it's pretty cool. Supposedly gonna do some cool stuff in the water.
If the action is what they say, the name fits the bait pretty well too.
smalljaw67 reply :
I love Rapala baits, the DT and DT Fat series along with the DT Flats have done well for me. My fishing partner hated them for breaking and I was wondering why his were busting until we were on a crank bite one day and I watched in horror as he got some weeds on the back hook and proceeded to slam the lure straight into the water 3 or 4 times to get rid of the weeds. I looked at him and said, yep, I can see how you are breaking baits, BTW 2 hours later the the Lucky Craft BDS he was throwing shattered, the plastic took longer to bust than the balsa but it broke and I said you better not complain, they weren't made to take that kind of abuse.
roadwarrior reply :
Here's an idea: Release the lure exclusively to BassResource.com members for testing and review!
Avalonjohn44 reply :
So what do we know from this thread? It's a deep diver, that digs very deep very quickly. At one point in its evolution it might have been modular or in a couple of pieces. The bill design is revolutionary, perhaps 'cupped' and may be adjustable. It swims erratically underwater. This could mean it walks under water, hunts, rolls or changes direction, but whether it does this on its own or the fisherman has to impart the action on the bait is unclear. It is also fairly certain that the classic winner will no doubt say this new lure was a big part of his pattern to win thus insuring a mad rush for this bait...
So, any guesses? A bill that somehow dynamically changes configuration/position as you swim it? A deep diving suspending lure with a bill that allows it to hunt underwater? A spring loaded bill that changes the lures direction depending on how much pressure is applied with the line? DAGNABIT. Still dying to know what the he11 this thing is!!!
SPEEDBEAD. reply :
Hooligan's post about the bait is spot on from what I know.
The name's got "Rap" at the end much like their other recent stuff.

Finally got some concrete info... It's called the Scatter Rap Shad. Bass Pro in MD has a whole empty display ready to be filled. $8.99 there, so a dollar or two cheaper at Walmart. Cupped bill that facilitates underwater hunt action... As I said, the Classic winner will no doubt be throwing one to drive up demand....
Avalonjohn44 reply :
Or Scatter Shad Rap...

All this hype for yet another deep diving crank? Ok, it's got a unique hunitng action, but is it really that much better to deserve this hype? I'll probably end up buying a few however.

i take it this is the scatter rap
dropshot40 reply :
Its the "Scatter Rap" and is being produced in 4 Variations: Crank, Minnow, Shad, and Countdown... About 15 color patterns in each model.. Other than the Countdown they all have diving depths ranging from 5-8 feet. Like I said in an earlier post.. I saw the minnow in action in a pool at a distributor show.. It is a really wild acting bait.. Hooloigans post from earlier has a very accurate description on the bill and its actions.. Good price point as well..
Kevinator1 reply :
Scatter Rap? Rapala must have come up with this idea when the lips of their DT's broke off. Just kind of scatters back to the boat with another $8.00 bait down the drain. Very disappointed with Rapala so I really don't care what they come out with. You would have thought they would have corrected the issue with the DT's but apparently they don't care about their customers. They have figured out the new business model in this country: Sell all you can and screw the customers.

You can take a Norman crank and run over it with a tank. I don't want to have to baby a crankbait because the lips are made of some of the weakest plastic known to man. This was a known problem that was never fixed. And if you aren't bangin' your cranks against the bottom, rocks and stumps, you are missing a lot of fish.

Wow!
Return the lures to the retailer or directly to the company. I exchange EVERY lure that breaks
regardless of the age and have NEVER been denied. Most companies send back two or three
additional lures.

I've broke 3 bills off the DT series, 1 off of a DT 4, 1 off of a Rapala X-Rap that I hit a rock while fishing in 34 degree water, and 1 off of a shad rap years ago and Rapala replaced every one. This isn't a lot considering that I really beat up a DT Thug off rip rap every season since they've been released and the reason I keep using them is they don't get hung in the rip rap, the fish have been killing them, and I still have yet to break one. I will agree the Normans are built like tanks but I also have to run them in clear water out of the box because every single one on my Middle N cranks had to be tuned, I don't mind as they are fish catchers too but Rapal has always been good with CS to me. 3 broken baits and 3 baits replaced with the same model, size, and color.

Yeah, I'm not saying that they won't replace them, just the fact that they have known about this problem for a long time and haven't tried to fix the issue by making the bills stronger. They could do it without it effecting the way the bait runs.

Get it to deflect off rip rap or big chunk rock and it will surely break.
