It seems to me that Rapala has marketed the Scatter Rap like no other bait before it.  I see them hanging EVERYWHERE.  And yet, at the same time, though I'm somewhat curious about the bait, I'm hesitant to plunk down, on average, about 2 dollars more for a bait which seems a lot like something I already own.  Really, apart from the lip they are nearly idential in appearance to other Rapala baits.  I know, I know-  action means everything and it's a little like comparing apples to oranges but in my mind, it all seems a bit redundant.  Particulary with the jump in price.  I wonder how well the Scatter Rap, in it's various incarnations, is doing in the marketplace and how many of you all find the lure worth the extra dough?  I'd ask Rapala but I doubt they'd be willing to share.

 

P.s., before I am accused of bashing Rapala, I'd like to say I have probably more of their baits than any other and my two largest bass came from Rapalas.

Mine worked well and I try to cast them near or under docks. They really pull fish out. It's awesome, you can see the bass fly out from under the dock to crush them.

 

 

They are expensive so I've bought mine from Dicks when they are on sale and from Cabelas when they are on sale.

Lets see if they can stand the test of time in the tackle market. Then i might try some.

Great bait, I have a few and they catch good fish!

The action is there, reel at a consistant speed then a coupl. Quick cranks and it scatters. I personally havent cought much on mine. But i can understand the concept behind them. The only complaint is there sooo light in weight, that its hard to get a 50yd cast, a 25-30yd cast is about as good as it gets for me. Find the lake that its the key bait, every lake has a key presentation/bait.

They have very good action. Just haven't caught much on them.

They're great over weeds or through areas where they aren't making contact with the bottom.
