product description

Cast out a Rattlin' Rapala and watch the swimming action at slow to very fast retrieve rates — you'll be amazed. This extra-loud, shallow-running crankbait is equipped with two full-size treble hooks for sure hookups.

Sound heightens curiosity in fish and triggers investigation. These lures actually have sound frequencies that are harmonic, uniform, and "in tune" with nature. This secret of sound combined with the legendary Rapala "wobble" is what make this lure so effective.

Long-casting, lipless design makes this lure viable anywhere you can fish. Rip it fast or run it slow — either way, it sounds like the dinner bell to fish. Features premium VMC black nickel hooks. Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested for ultimate performance right out of the box.

Questions about Rapala Rattlin 05 Fishing Lures

How many do you get?

Answer: the last time i bought them i bought4 in the bluegill color thats all they had i lost thee on big fish that end up snapping my line

Answer: Just one. It is very small, about the length of ones thumb. Seems to be geared for freshwater use in my opinion.

Answer: I have 75 different colors depending on where you fish. Because there are fish attracted to shiny or opaque colors

let me know the weight & size of Rapala Rattlin 05 Fishing Lures!

Answer: 2.5 inches but the box says 2 inches.

Answer: Select the "Features & details" selection under "About this item".... 2 x 0.4 x 1.2 inches, 0.3 ounces

hello, 1) What size is this crank bait? 2) how fast does this sink in fresh water? Thanks

Answer: The actual size of the body itself is 2 1/2 inches. Here's the insane (WTF) response i got from Rapala about this:

Answer: about 2 inches as far as fast it sinks i just cast out and reel in it depends how fast you reel in it usualy gets down to the top of the weeds and rocks you have to experement with it

Answer: Including the rear treble-hook it's about 2.5" long. How long it takes to sink depends on how deep that you want it to go. When I cast it I give it a moment before cranking it and when it gets to shore it's cruising just above the bottom, but it will snag on hidden debris. Stop cranking as soon as the drag stops winding, let it pause so that it'll float up a little and try again. The only time that I've lost this lure was when my cast went into a tree on shore. This is my favorite lure.

Some ratting lures have gotten way too loud in my opinion. You can hear them coming 30 ft away. How loud is this one?

Answer: not sure how to answer this ,, but best I can do is to say it catch's bass and have gotten a few small Northern pike in the 18-22 inch range

Answer: It is not the loudest rattler in my tackle but it is more like medium. I really like this model especially in a fish species color pattern.

Can the treble hooks be replaced with circle hooks?

Answer: yes they are put on with split rings

Will cat fish go for this?

Answer: No

Answer: Not likely

Which color seemed most accurate?

Answer: si el color era el q pedi son vastantes realista debajo del agua excelente

Answer: Bass seemed lifelike if that's what your asking but forewarned that lure is smaller than I expected

Answer: All around Lure in freshwater would be firetiger

What color would you recommend for walleye ?

Answer: Bluegill most of the time, crawfish or green/yellow

Answer: Definitely "Baby bass"

how can I cast this lure further? how can I add weight to it? would torpedo sinker work?

Answer: Lighter test should help, but I would just get the larger lure for added weight. Sometimes when you add a sinker you can change the entire presentation, which may decrease the effectiveness of the lure.

have you pooped before?

Answer: Never in my life! Is it bad?

Answer: Not your first time with a stupid question is it?

Can it catch fish

Answer: Yes

Answer: yes have caught many walleye. hybrid white bass and white bass

I also have enjoyed this lure, but is designed more for early summer feeding patterns. Anyone suggest a great color for fall LMB? Thx! ?

Answer: as mentioned before, it would mainly depend on the natural baitfish present in one's waters(I see you're in Texas, so the following advice will be right on), but in general, early spring would be for crayfish patterns, spring/early summer is for bluegill patterns, and late summer/fall calls for shad patterns, and the later in the fall, try the bigger sizes as the shad are bigger by this time of year.

Answer: it all depends on the bate fish in the lake or river your fishing

what is the recommended line thickness for max casting distance? how far can you cast it? Does it work in saltwater too?

Answer: I don't use much over 8 lb test monofilament line, but that depends too on how light or heavy tackle you use....

SWhat color should I get? Should you try and match this to the color of the minnows where you are fishing or darker water shinier lure kind of thing?

Answer: Maggiano's where you are fishing

Answer: Silver seems to work the best

How is the product packaged

Answer: The lure comes in a tiny Rapala box of its own. I had also ordered other lures so the Amazon box was about the size of a shoe box.

Answer: Came in the standard rapala labeled plastic bubble

Answer: In the standard Rapala box with a hard plastic cover

Answer: I suppose by a machine of some sort.

Hello, what is the weight of this bait?

Answer: The "Features & details" page for this lure lists 0.3 oz for shipping weight.... so 0.25 oz without packaging. If you need the same lure but heavier, look at the 07s

Do u needs weights or bobbers when using this lure?

Answer: Neither

Is it good for beginners?

Answer:

Answer: Yes, it is easy to use and very good for beginners. When a fish strikes it is likely to hook itself. Lots of fun.

Answer: good lure for expert or novice

Answer: I like them, but I prefer x jointed lures. I only use them in umbrella rigs when I'm trolling in my kayak.

Have you caught any fish with this?

Answer: Yes I have but I have caught way more trees with this lure!

Answer: Not yet. Not a huge fan of the action. Going to tie with a Rapla Knot and see if that helps.

Answer: I have not, but I can't say I've used it much. I did some test runs and experiments and the action looks good. Sorry if that doesn't help much.

Answer: More than any other lure that I have.

Answer: Not yet??????????

Answer: no

Which one is better this one or the rainbow colored one

Answer: Don’t know. Gave it as a gift.

Is this good for shore fishing?

Answer: It's not meant for saltwater fishing, it doesn't have saltwater hooks.

Answer: I have used this lure casting from shore and in a boat.

Answer: I use mine for parallel shore, works better that way and covers more water

Product reviews of Rapala Rattlin 05 Fishing Lures

MJ : but the action is nice so far

I haven't used it much since I've only just got it and have used it only once. No bites, but the action is nice so far. Will update as I get the chance to use it more.

Fireman292 : Four Stars

nice coloring, keep it handy in the tackle box

Seandoutlick : 19inch Bass

Caught a 19inch Bass with this bad boy!

Marc B : Great walleye and small mouth lure

Pounded the walleye and smallmouth on this thing before a huge fish broke my line a took it permanently into it's mouth unfortunately.

Ryan : Great Rapala Quality lure!

Lure is great. Normal Rapala quality. Use it in cloudy weather, clear water.

TB : Nice

Great rattle traps holds up nicely to being bitten by predator fish

Valerie Pichette : Four Stars

Have not used this lure as of yet, but excited to use it in the near future!!

William : Good lure

Haven't used it much, but it appears well made, will need to see if the bass down here like them!

MakerMike : Great lure

We have these in several colors. Works great in spring time especially with rough waters.

Jeremiah Giles : One of the best!

One of my all time favorites! First of all, let me be clear: It's a rapala... OF COURSE it catches fish! I can honestly say that I've never used a rapala lure that DIDN'T catch a fish. But the RNR-5 in the shad pattern is one of the very first lures I learned how to fish as a kid. I've caught all kinds on it over the years and have replaced it time and time again. This is one of the best lipless crankbaits on the market at one of the best prices around. Cheap and effective. Fish it on a straight retrieve (simply throw it out and reel it in) Or you can yo-yo it (lift and drop) when that big fish grabs it, set the hook and hang on!

Kindle Customer : It works well

Catches fish

Marc B : Great walleye and small mouth lure

Dr Einstein Von Brainstorm : Does it really work?

I bought two of these. One silver color one shad color/pattern. I tried for hours in a pond full of bass. To see if it was the right time if they take the bait etc I tried other baits such as spinners or worms etc. They work fine. I catch within 10-15 minutes of trying. I am still yet to catch anything with this lure. I have been using their other lures in saltwater (xrap) so I am familiar with them. Yet this lure hasn't worked for me so far. Other than that it looks nice ... Moves like a real fish in the water, but if it doesn't catch anything, who cares?
