Meet the Rippin' Blade
Building on the success of the Rippin Rap, Rapala® is introducing the Rippin' Blade.
The Rippin' Blade is a hi-tech blade bait designed to be cast, pitched, or vertically jigged. Blade baits excel in cooler water and the Rippin' Blade is no different, proving its place as a cousin to the Rippin' Rap. Whether it's early springtime walleyes, late fall smallmouth, or anything in between, the Rippin' Blade is going to earn a place in every angler's tackle box.
What's more, with three-line tie positions on the top blade, it's easy to customize the action to fish any situation or time of the year. With its tungsten-weighted belly, it gets to the bottom fast and is easy to fish in deep water, heavy currents, or strong wind.
The lure features a durable, metal frame-plastic body construction, a VMC® crankbait snap, and two, super sharp No. 6 VMC® black nickel round bend treble hooks.
The new Rippin' Blade comes in ten eye-catching colors: chrome blue, clown, chrome tiger, firetiger, gold, gold chrome tiger, glow, purpledescent, silver, and wonderbread. The new lure is being introduced in size no. 7. It has a body length of 2-3/4 inches and weighs 9/16 oz.
