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

MH : Rapala know how to build a quality bait.

Rapala know how to build a quality bait. this is simply a joined version of their standard crank bait. It really improves the action look great in the water.

Wynn D. : Works great!

Works great!

Jose David Aristizabal Gil : Five Stars

Excellent

Axel : Axel Trejo

Este modelo de señuelo fue el primero que me compré cuando empecé a pescar. Hace unos años lo perdí gracias a un mal nudo y una trucha gorda.
Su acción es genial, vuelve loco a cualquier pez que esté en el agua. Lo uso para pescar truchas grandes, sin duda alguna mi señuelo favorito.

JEFF M : great

Although I have not been able to use this lure, it looks just like it should look. I have hopes it will work.

Song weaver : Good

Good bait.

Trisha W : Unsure

I mostly bass fish in a pond by my house and the pond is too shallow for this lure. The box says 'suspending' so I thought maybe it would work for the pond but it dove straight to the bottom and it drags on the bottom when reeled in. Definitely want to try it in deeper water.

Matthew wurtenberg : Excellent lure

This lure has been my got to for the past month. Been catching big bass catfish and bluegill. Everything seems to be attracted to its movement. One of my new favorite lures.

HECTOR MAURICIO ORTIZ VELASQUEZ : Very effective lure.

Very effective lure.

mike : Great lure. Has a great action to it

Great lure. Has a great action to it. Looks very realistic. Haven't caught anything but is nice, a little too big for my lake.

Locdizzle : Best lure in the tackle box hands down with my ...

Best lure in the tackle box hands down with my favorite and best color of them all is the BLUE SHAD. With this lure and color, I have caught all fresh water species, Bass, Nothern Pike, Walleye and small as perch and crappie. THIS IS THE "GO TO LURE" as me and some of my buddies refer to it as. I wouldnt be on the water without it, hence why I just stocked up on more of these. Buy it

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.

paulscal : Fishing N. Ca. yesterday. Been a killer ...

Fishing N. Ca. yesterday. Been a killer lure. Lg or sm. Bass and Trout trolling. Just look for the shad and troll through and get ready. 3-5lbers. Add some trout goop to the nose and mid body.

Richw : Walleye catching machine

I've used these jointed Rapalas for several years in northern lakes. They do very well if you crank them slowly. Like all Rapalas, well built and they last a long time. In my favorite lake there are stumps with 5 of them on there, a price to pay for catching fish, to be sure.

Tony D. Baker : Five Stars

Caught Waleye in Canada with this. Worked for the purpose I bought it for.

michael terwilliger : Realistic

Realistic should catch fish.

Justin M. : Don't hesitate to buy if you love crankbaits

Great Lure. My first time taking it to Smithville lake in MO, (High pressured lake) I caught 5 largemouth in the morning. Great action on the retrieval, and an all around solid lure. I will definitely be buying more colors through amazon in the near future

Jon2647 : These Will Land Fish!

Jointed rapala's are the only lures we use on our pontoon trolling. These things will land absolutely anything, from Bass, Northern, Walleye, Crappie, Sunfish, freshwater drum (not our preference, but hey its a catch I guess).

We have caught all pictures I posted with these lures... everything from small sunfish to 6 pound bass and 30 inch walleyes!

Chmurajaws22 : Lure

This lure is awsome and works really good we're I go the fish are in deep waters like the walleye and smallmouth love this lure

Melvin Sircar : Okay

Catching some fish but depend on the color

blackout : Good stuff

This is the best Luer of used everywhere and anywhere

Marco : Prodotto di qualità, spedizione super veloce

Prodotto come da descrizione, di buona fattura e con colori adatti alla pesca on lago per lucci o bb. In acqua il movimento è perfetto, alcune volte anche leggermente irregolare, secondo me una qualità. Arrivato in neanche un giorno. Provato velocemente e sono stati presi solo piccoli bb. Speriamo in qualche bella cattura

FLD : Cant go wrong.

Classic

Dayro Longas : Perfect for Black Bass fishing and Blue Mojarra (Caquetaia umbrifera)

It is one of the most used lures in guatape's dam in Colombia, perfect for Black Bass fishing and Blue Mojarra (Caquetaia umbrifera) in Colombia's dams.

wayne snyder : Five Stars

best jointed lure out there

jstout : Five Stars

great!

fish ( hunter).... : fishing pike

Works very good on any rate of retrieve, hook sets are easy, all size pike have gone for this but seem to get more of the moderate sized ones with the number 2. Already order couple sizes bigger, one draw back is on windy days it seems to get fouled up on long casts, also not good for weedy lakes .A nice go to lure.

Sarah B. : Five Stars

bought this for my professional fisherman brother for 10 years now.

Alfredo Peña : Señuelo de pesca Rapala

Shirley J : Fishing lurr

My husband loves these and caught fish on them this past week. Definitely will get more.

Olaf : Top Köder

Super Wobbler die barsche gehen drauf wie nichts nur schwimmt der nicht wirklich nach oben. Toller Lauf des wobblers , auch gut für Hecht

Sharla J. : Would buy again.

Exactly as expected.

My Two Cents :) : Niiiice

These are the best... I'm a mediocre, AT BEST, fisherman and I caught my biggest pike of my life last summer off one of these.

James McLeod : Killer Bait

These work well here in northern Michigan. When spring arrives I will be on the water with these baits.
