WHAT IS IT?
Rapala Skitter V
WHAT SETS IT APART?
The dog-walking Skitter V isn’t new, but it’s worth taking another look at what sets it apart. That includes the recent addition of five new color patterns, three of which have bone hues favored by anglers. A V-shaped underbelly that is similar to a boat hull of the same name brings a unique action to a walking bait. Holographic eyes complement the lifelike color patterns, and the bait is rigged with VMC black-nickel, round-bend hooks. The lure has a sound chamber emitting a loud, clacking noise for added strike appeal. The new bone and clear color patterns are available in Skitter V sizes 10 and 13. A size 10 measures 4 inches and weighs 1/2 ounce. A size 13 measures 5 1/4 inches and weighs 1 ounce. New colors: Wish Bone, Ghost Bone, Holographic Bone, Clear Pale Olive and Ghost Clear.
HOW DO I USE IT?
Like the boat hull sharing its name, the Skitter V is designed to easily and efficiently slice through the water surface, adding even more action to the bait. The new bone patterns match the colors of baitfish skin when the fish are active on the surface.
