This articulated, or broken back, lure can be fished like the Original Floater®, top to bottom. It is the perfect choice after a cold front, when fish are traditionally finicky and in a negative feeding mood.
The jointed rapala does not swim as well as regular. I did catch a bass here in January so I hope the fish perception is better than mine, but it was not what I expected. I thought it would swim with more action but it kind of warbles along.
