Is this ok for saltwater ?

Answer: Excelente... Muy real

Answer: you have to change out the hooks.....(rust)

Does this lure float when your not reeling it in. Also how deep does it dive when you do reel it in.

Answer: These lures work well. To my knowledge, they don't float on top of the water when not reeling, but they don't sink too much below the surface either. The dive depth differs according to the size "bill" on the front. The box should tell you the depth, but the bigger the bill, the deeper it will dive.

Can you catch striper with this?

Answer: I almost catch a "Dorado" with this -I am living in Argentina, don´t know what a striper is. But the swimming action of this is good

Answer: if you're fishing fresh water, like a river or impoundment, yes. i don't know that it would be my "go to" lure in salt for stripers. I use it for smallmouth bass. It does resemble white perch and has good action. If perch are the forage fish, its a "go to " choice

Answer: I just caught a 7.5 lb striper this morning on Fire Crawdad while trolling, so YES

Answer: I don't know. We don't have striper in Michigan.

Product reviews of Rapala Jointed Shad Rap 05 Fishing Lures

Joker1Bravo : BEST CRANK/JERK BAIT FOR THE PRICE

I LOVE this lure. I use this lure in a shad color in 2 primary sizes, both the 04 & 05. These lures are amazing for the price. I have a collection of Lucky Craft Live/Pointer that are 2-3 times the price. I wish Lucky Craft would make something similar. The main Pros that make this lure stand out: A nice hard rattle and the Jointed body. Cons: and a VERY minor con based on price, the plastic lip breaks after some abuse against rip/raps (rocks). fairly major con (IMO) the JSR-04 hooks are too small and get shook to easily from bigger fish.
I prefer to use this lure as a search bait. Because of the price I will use it at new areas, only because LC lures cost too much to gamble and lose. I bass fish primarily, but the video shows how well it can hold up against bigger fish.

Rob Hays : Great for off season regular fishing

Hit 3 small mouth in first 5 mins with this lure! Great for off season regular fishing! Worked really well in the river. Thx

This is one of my favorite trout lures. Always seems to catch fish. I love to use them, but hate to lose them. It's nice to be able to order them from Amazon in the color and size I'm looking for.

This lure has incredible colors. I got the perch-style one. Me and some friends used these at a big lake and caught some big chain pickerel, bass, and big bluegill (yes they will attack it). We all know that rapala makes amazing lures, this one only proves that point even more. Hooks are strong, colors are great, action lures fish in.
