The Rapala RipStop® RPS09 AS delivers a unique fast-ripping, flashing action with its boot-tail design that stops instantly and finishes with a natural shimmy. On the pause, it suspends with a subtle head lift that triggers aggressive strikes. This 3-1/2″ suspending jerkbait is versatile across techniques—cast, twitch, rip, or pause—and targets a wide range of gamefish. Outfitted with premium VMC® Black Nickel Fine Wire Hooks, it’s ready for action right out of the package.
