I have used Rapalas for years for a variety of species, but used this new color for the first time this past winter on Lake Roosevelt. We caught rainbow and kokanee on this lure, and it was a favorite on the big reservoir through the fall and winter with anglers. I was so impressed with the new color that I used it for triploids on Rufus Woods and it worked great there, too. I use both the size 7 and the larger size 9 in the floating model, and pinch the barb down when fishing above Chief Joseph Dam. I also remove the treble hooks and sometimes add a barrel swivel to the split ring and attach the single siwash hook to that. I have a lot of Rapalas in a wide range of colors, and this one is my first choice when I open my box to fish plugs for trout, kokanee and triploid rainbow.

Thus, more energy goes into growth, and they don't breed with wild fish. Read the article above.
