Rapala Fat Rap 05 Fishing Lure - Firetiger, 2-Inch, Deep-Diving Crankbait

Trusted Fat Rap performance for open-water fishing

The Rapala Fat Rap 05 in Firetiger is built for anglers who fish for finicky, wary fish. In open-water scenarios, where many lures struggle, this compact crankbait delivers a distinctive, tight swimming action that mimics a fleeing shad. The result can be instinctive strikes, with a lure that travels with minimal drag and steady confidence in deep or shallow retrieves.

Designed for freshwater casting, the 2-inch Fat Rap balances a tight, lifelike wiggle with a strong, reliable backbone. Its deep-diving lip reaches productive depths without requiring heavy tackle, so you can cover water efficiently. Each unit is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure the action is right out of the box, and it rides on sharp VMC black nickel treble hooks that stay ready for action through long sessions.
