The Rapala RipStop® RPS12 GOBY ups the ante with a larger profile, offering the same hard-ripping, flashing action that halts instantly with a shimmy and suspends in place with a slow head rise. This 4-3/4″, 1/2 oz suspending jerkbait dives slightly deeper, making it ideal for bigger water and bigger predators. Designed for versatile retrieves and built tough with premium VMC® hooks, it’s a go-to option for anglers targeting trophy gamefish.
