Rapala Original Jointed Minnows get the undivided attention of otherwise disinterested gamefish with a slight exaggeration of the unique Rapala baitfish-in-distress swimming action. This articulated, or broken-back bait, can be fished top-to-bottom. Swimming action at the slowest of speeds makes this bait the perfect choice after a cold front when fish are traditionally finicky and in a negative feeding mood.
