Rapala Jigging Rap Ice Jig

The Rapala Jigging Rap pairs a balanced, weighted minnow profile with an action few jigs can match: it swims in tantalizing circles under the ice or in open water, right where suspended game fish live. Lift it and let it go, and the Jigging Rap keeps swimming in circles, drawing the attention of fish that a straight up-and-down presentation never moves.

Why Suspended Fish Eat It

Jigging baits fished straight up and down give fish only one look. The Jigging Rap's balanced, weighted minnow profile swims in circles instead, covering water on every drop and staying in front of the fish longer, which matters most when they hang off bottom and refuse to chase.

The Right Pick If...

Reach for the Jigging Rap when you are working suspended game fish through the ice or vertically in open water, when you want a bait that moves in wide circles rather than dropping straight down, or when you need a size for every situation: the lineup runs from the 1 1/4-inch W2 to the 3 1/2-inch W9.

How to Fish It

Snap it up and let it swim back down for a classic ice jigging cadence, work a lift-and-drop over likely marks, or bottom bounce it yo-yo style off the bottom for the unbeatable results this bait is known for.

Best For

Techniques: ice jigging, open-water vertical jigging, and yo-yo bottom bouncing. Situations: suspended game fish under the ice or in open water, with natural baitfish patterns for clearer water and glow patterns for low-light or stained-water bites.

Tackle Express Tips

• Match the weight to your depth: the lighter W2 and W3 suit shallow water or fish holding high, while the heavier W7 and W9 get down to deeper basins.
• Give each drop a pause so the circular swim action has time to work before your next snap.
• Keep a glow pattern rigged for dawn, dusk, or stained water when visibility drops.

Questions Anglers Ask

What sizes does the Jigging Rap come in?
Five sizes: W2 (1 1/4", 1/8 oz), W3 (1 1/2", 3/16 oz), W5 (2", 5/16 oz), W7 (2 3/4", 5/8 oz), and W9 (3 1/2", 7/8 oz), each sold one jig per package.

Can I fish it outside of ice season?
Yes. It swims in circles under the ice or in open water, and it works well vertical jigging or yo-yo bounced off the bottom whenever fish are suspended.

Should I choose a natural or glow color?
The lineup includes both. Natural patterns imitate baitfish in clearer water, while glow options stand out in low light or stained water. Color availability varies by size.
