Rapala's Jigging Rap is undoubtedly one of the most beloved, incomparable baits to ever exist. Anglers who swear by this lure deserve a rod of equal caliber to maximize the action of the Jigging Rap.
That's exactly what the team at 13 Fishing thought when they developed the new Jigging Rap Rod, designed specifically to accompany Rapala's famous Jigging Rap lure. To develop the perfect rod, 13 Fishing partnered with Duane Hjelm, Jigging Rap guru and four-time national walleye tour champion.
"One of the biggest mistakes people make fishing with Jigging Raps is their rod," said Hjelm. "Everything we did with this rod was for a specific reason, to make it the best Jigging Rap rod available. I finally feel like we have the perfect rod specifically for jig fishing."
Fans of Hjelm know that, if he tells you a rod is the right one, it's the right rod. The Jigging Rap Rod is available in both the Myth and Oath series. Its parabolic bend, combined with a fast-action tip, helps anglers impart the correct action on the bait. At 6'10", the length of the rod is the perfect length to cast from the front of the boat.
The rod features a premium split-grip design for ultimate comfort, so you can stay on the water longer without getting sore hands or arms.
The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the Myth Series Jigging Rap Spinning Rod is $199.99.
The manufacturer's suggested retail price for the Oath Series Jigging Rap Spinning Rod is $99.99.
