Minnetonka, Minnesota – Sarda now comes in size No. 22, with a body length of 8-½ in. and weighing in at 13-⅝ oz.
There are many sources of inspiration behind Rapala's new, bigger size in the Sarda® saltwater lure, but it mostly boils down to one pelagic truth: big fish eat big fish. Sometimes they just prefer an even larger profile!
For coastal anglers on the hunt for massive bluefin tuna, the Rapala Sarda® quickly became a favorite among commercial and sports anglers alike. "We are really proud to help develop what we feel is the best high speed trolling lure on the market. The Sarda 22 runs fast, true and most importantly, it gets bit." Says CEO of BD outdoors / host of Local Knowledge.
Not only can this lure be trolled at speeds of up to 14 knots, but it's also durable enough to withstand huge hits from giant pelagics, then dive back down for more.
Built from stainless steel, one-piece construction with a reinforced body and internal rib design for strength, Sarda™ doesn't fear the meanest predators in the sea. Loaded with two forged VMC 7286 TechSet® hooks with split rings and welded rings to reduce the fish's leverage.
The Sarda is available in 13 high-vis colors, four of which are UV.
The manufacturer's suggested retail price is $59.99.
