Broken jigging rap
« on: Mar 07, 2016, 04:59 PM »
I don't know if it's just me but I seem to be breaking a jigging rap every time I catch a pike with them the tail gets bit off even on the bigger size. I just started using these this year and found them to work great but I've had 2 break on me when pulling in a pike. I was able to recover the tail on one and I will try to repair it. Does anybody else have this issue am I having. Am I crazy that these should be lasting for more than 1 fish?

They should definitely be lasting more than 1 fish.  I'd take some pictures of it and send it to Rapala.  I saw another thread on here of people complaining about the same thing.

That happened on my favorite rap. I just super glued it back in place. It's lasted a cpl seasons since then.

I've had treble hooks and split rings destroyed buy catfish or pikes.  These are the Rapala/VMC hooks.  Never had it happened before until this last season's latest purchase from their Flash Champ lures.
For more information read my MN nice journal
