COLUMBIA, S.C. – Berkley is breaking barriers with the new Ripfish, a first-of-its-kind combination of a fast-dropping lipless bait and a wide-gliding hard bait designed to give anglers total control. Built around a sleek, minnow-profile body, the Ripfish brings together rapid fall rates with erratic lateral movement, creating a hybrid action that excels in vertical and forward-facing sonar presentations.
With its flat-bottom design and precision-tuned balance, the Ripfish responds instantly to angler input—darting, gliding, or hovering on command. Whether you’re sinking it down through the water column, yo-yoing with tight vibrations, or coaxing a wide glide-out, this bait stays in the strike zone, provoking aggressive strikes. Designed to impose crisp vibrations and incorporating a high-pitched rattle unique among glide baits, the Ripfish is unlike anything else on the market. Add in its long castability and fast sink rate, and you’ve got a tool built to chase fish down—fast.
“The Ripfish is a disruptive hybrid lipless and glide bait combination for today’s power-finesse anglers,” said Chris Seylar, Assistant Product Manager – Core Bait. “It delivers unmatched control and versatility, whether you’re working it vertically or horizontally. No other bait moves quite like it or covers water the same way; it truly stands alone in its class.”
