He, just wondering what the general consensus is regarding jiggin raps. I've had good luck with fire tiger pattern for walleye and decent enough for rainbows. I was wondering what other patterns are being use out there, especially for Browns and Rainbows. I like the versatility of the jigging raps, it's one of my go to set ups for almost any species.

Use a countdown about 2 inches long, these in all colors work really good, just jig up and down, trout love them.

white, blue/silver, orange are my go to colors

Thank you both! Looks like I'll be adding a few to the collection. Haven't tried the countdowns yet, looking forward to trying those out.

Purpldescent has been good in open water and is new this year. White variations have also been very good.

I had some good luck last year with the Helsinki Shad color. It was my first year of using that color and I caught rainbow, splake and lake trout with it.

I have always used the Northland Buck Shot spoons. Are the Rap's better? or has anyone had better luck with one over the other? Going to invest in some Raps but wondering if they will do better for trout than the Buck Shots.

What do you guys look for in a Rap rod? Something with some backbone and a fairly stiff tip is what I usually look for. Anyone have a favorite rod they use for Raps?

I use a Jason Mitchell mackinaw rod 34" fireline with Floro leader.

218Icefisherman · « **Reply #16 on:** Dec 23, 2016, 09:00 AM »
