We love Clackin' Minnow & Jigging Rap

There's no doubt about it. We love Clackin' Minnow! And so do the fish. This trip was the usual walk in the jungle but with only 3 lures: Jigging Rap, Clackin' Minnow and for insurance, X-Rap. As what our friend Fish'R'Us says... using X-Rap is almost like using live-bait. Haha!

But the Clackin' Minnow was unique in a sense that it swims slightly deeper and sinks slowly when paused (we swapped out the stock hooks with new VMC 3X Spark Points) which are good for the deeper holding fish.

And a nice Temensis results!

They love small snacks like the Jigging Rap

Say Ahhhhh!

Aint the patterns beautiful?

This one seems to have a bit more weight

Whoopee!

  2. Hello Azhar! Basically just work it with short twitches while it glides from side to side (wide action) or at higher speeds/twitches. It attracts fish because most fish are used to baits swimming in a linear fashion while this one swims side to side. It hasnt hit the market yet but it's coming probably late next quarter.
