I would say that the single most versatile lure is the jointed floating Rapala. It can be used as a topwater,subsurface or, with a sinker in front, deep running trolling lure. (This 21", just over 5 lb smallmouth was actually foul hooked in the dorsal fin).

Nice fish, I also had a ton of success this year with the "broken tail" rapala, went with the orginal color though.

Yep. Love the jointed lures.
My favorite is actually a cotton cordel - they have a Cisco color that works well in lakes where those are the bait fish.


One more cast...

It is tough to beat a rapala. I prefer the original myself, but that's just me.

been using jointed raps for years.the gold/black and also the perch pattern are my favorites.its a bait that can be trolled,cast,or twitched on the surface.I like the #13 size best.
