Anybody try out these new Minnow Raps? Thinking of getting a few for this upcoming season.

Used them a couple days late last Fall on the Fox River. Couldn't keep the musky off of them. Did manage to get a couple of eyes on them. Should be a good deep water crank. Tight Lines!

I used them plenty here on Devils Lake last fall. They trolled really nice. Dive very similar to a number 7 Shad Rap, maybe a bit deeper, but not much.

They have a little tighter action than a Shad Rap, but are fish catchers none the less. They will be a part of my trolig arsenal this summer for sure. I think the best color for me was the Yellow Perch.

Jonny,

How far did they run and what were you running.. IE 10# xt or fireline..

At $6.99 each, I have the feeling this is going to be an expensive year for new baits.....

Thanks

Dominic

It didn't seem to matter, they ran similar to the dive curve of the Shad Rap whether it was FireLine or Mono.
