Rapala Skitter Prop

Featured Replies

Anyone use this lure? How does it compare to the Heddon Torpedos?  I  understand that it is only 1/4 oz balsa so it weighs about the same as the Tiny Torpedo, and I'm wondering if this  lure would fish any different. Anyone have any idea?

 

thanks

I have several, I fish them just like the Torpedo, of course, it's a much better quality bait than the Torpedo, you don't have to change or improve anything.

I've got a couple and I've been having really good success on them this season. I like that they're a slightly longer profile than Heddon, and that they come stock with better hooks. Work them just the same and let the magic happen.

Better hooks, better hook hangers, better blade material, better finish, better patterns, better hook eye, yup, definately a much better built and much better quality bait than the Heddon. But of course, it´s a Rapala lure.

I've been unable to find any Skitter Props locally, so I picked up a couple of Kelly J's. Try them out tomorrow hopefully!

Very good lure and makes a lot of racket. Casts just fine with 12 - 14 pound mono on a baitcaster too.
