Rapala Ultra Light Rippin' Rap – 1-1/8in Purpledescent Fishing Lure

Overview

The Rapala Ultra Light Rippin' Rap is a compact hard bait designed to spark lifelike action with every cast. Its tiny profile—1-1/8 inches and only 1/16 oz—balances delicacy with the ability to create noticeable movement in both clear and stained water. The Purpledescent finish adds visual allure that catches light from multiple angles as you retrieve.

Proven design for confident presentations

Built to trigger bites, this lure combines a vivid color with a responsive body that flashes and vibrates. The result is a resemblance to a fleeing baitfish, inviting nearby fish to investigate. The action remains predictable across a steady cast-and-retrieve cadence, helping you cover water efficiently.

Durable components for dependable use

Quality construction and sharp hooks are engineered for dependable performance from the first cast onward. This design aims to withstand repeated strikes while maintaining crisp action, so you can fish with consistency across sessions and conditions.

Multi-species versatility

Although tailored for ultralight setups, the Rippin' Rap shines across species. It works well for bass, walleye, pike, and trout, among others. Anglers can vary depth and retrieve speed to align with local bites, making it a flexible option in mixed-water fisheries.

Easy to fish, wherever you fish

The lure is simple to use from shore, boat, or kayak. Cast, retrieve, and adjust your cadence to emulate a darting prey. Its compact body helps you target shallow edges, weed lines, and accessible drop-offs without heavy line tension.
