The Rapala Jointed® Hardbait Lures have a one-of-a-kind "baitfish in distress" swimming movement that effectively catches the attention of apathetic gamefish. This unique articulated bait, also known as "broken-back", can be used in a variety of depths. Even when retrieved at slow speeds, it maintains its lively swimming action, making it especially effective during a cold front when fish are typically less active. The lure is crafted from balsa wood and equipped with sharp VMC® black nickel hooks. Each lure is individually fine-tuned and tested for optimal swimming ability straight out of the box.
Rapala Jointed best at simulating a fish in distress
The Rapala Jointed has been successful for years because of its design, when this jointed lure swims it simulates a fish in distress and this often triggers a hit. To conserve energy predators will attack easy targets first and a fish swimming in distress makes for an easy meal, hence this jointed lure works well, especially in muddy waters with poor visibility. I have noticed that snappers/mangrove jacks love this lure and attack it without hesitation.
