With a slight exaggeration of Rapala’s unique baitfish-in-distress swimming action, the Jointed® grabs the attention of the most difficult fish. This articulated, or “broken back” lure, can be fished from top to bottom. Its action, even at very slow speeds, makes it the ideal choice after a cold front, when fish are typically difficult to catch and lethargic. Constructed of balsa wood with VMC® Black Nickel Hooks, each Jointed is hand-tuned and tank-tested for perfect swimming action right out of the box. (The J13 model is constructed of abachi wood.)
