I just picked up one of the new Clackin' Raps from Rapala, and I want to know your guys thoughts on it? Have you tried it?  How did it perform?

Looks very cool,keep us informed,if it works I'll prob. get one ;D

Yeah it has a very different sound to it too.  It is a more high pitched than other rattles I have heard.  

I'm kinda liking the look of those gliding ones too!

dude where did you get it?

I wish they made them in 3/8oz and 5/8oz.

7/8oz is too heavy for my taste  

Dave, only the greatest tackleshop ever. : (sarcasm)

wow i'm suprised they had these new lures but didnt even have sebile magic swimmers. that ticks me off.....

Yeah that store sucks.

Have you gotten a chance to uses theses lures yet? What store are you refering to?

Awww MAN!!! I'm gonna be gettin' a BUNCH of those!!!  Those look awesome!!!  But I'm right with ya on the 3/8 and 5/8 sizes.  RAPALA!!!  If you're readin' this, make some smaller ones!!!

saltwater yaker, the store im talking about is just a local store near me.

I hope the lure design itself is better than the Rattlin' Rapala - - probably my least favorite vibe.  Absolutely worthless for low-speed and drop fishing.    

TW has them or should I say had.Seem to be sold out already.

i have one arriving on monday...funny, when i ordered from TW just earlier yesterday morning, they had 9+ in stock.

anyway, a lure similar in concept is the xcalibur one knocker which i have fished with and have had success. it also is 3/4 oz. but, because of the tungsten ball, it is still not as large in profile as the 3/4 oz. rat-L-trap. i don't mind the weight...in fact, i like that it helps me get the lure down quicker so i can start working it sooner.
