50+ Year Old Rapala Floating Minnow Still Catches Bass!

Fifty plus years old Rapala Floating Minnow  still can catch a Bass or two! Round Two of the Vintage Fishing Lure series gets more Bass. Not as big as the Cisco Kid Diver and the 7+ lbs Bass but the Rapala Minnow still rocks in the 21st Century!

Went with Ultralight Gear This Time... and a Roadrunner Jig Variant

Fished with the Ultralight this evening at Bethany.  Used a variation of the Roadrunner Jig and a Rapala Minnow.  Was a tough go with all the algae growing along the shallows but did manage to keep the lures clear enough to get a few strikes.Caught eight Bass with the Roadrunner and one Bass on the Rapala.

The Roadrunner Jig is a standard 1/8 oz Jig Head but we tie it using Purple Marabou, some Krystal Flash, and Red Dacron Thread.  Fun stuff!
