All Anglers Should Own THIS LURE!

There are thousands of fishing lures these days so it can definitely be intimidating to know what you need in your tackle box... That said, there are a few lures out there that you should own no matter where you live or what you fish for. This is one of those lures! Available in numerous sizes and colors, this lure can catch just about anything that swims!
What lure am I talking about? The Rapala Original Floating Jerkbait!

Personally, I am a huge fan of companies that are the original. Rapala is one of those companies. I have so much respect for being innovative and bringing something new and unique to the market. That is why I will always respect companies like Rapala! There are a lot of other fancy jerkbaits out there these days but I truly think that this absolute classic will still out-produce most of them. That is why I will always have a few of these in my box.

[@F.A.R.T]

That's my FAVORITE lure. The original F5 or the F7 is my goto lure.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah! I like the F3 - F7 for numerous types of fishing. Trout will smoke an F5 or F7 :)

[@BrundonC]

“I smell a skunk… oh no it’s just grass” has a whole different meaning in Oregon 🤣

[@FishAnything]

HAHA I can only imagine!

[@skj468]

I love your videos and the fact that you reply to all the comments!

[@FishAnything]

I do my best :) All of your support truly means the world to me so the least I can do is carry on the conversation. Besides, I love talking fishing lol

[@oflofl7177]

My favorite proven method with any Rapala original floater is a super super slow retrieve .

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah! I tend to be a wild man and twitch is a lot haha

[@oflofl7177]

@@FishAnything well twitching sure seemed to work well. Twitching with a rainbow trout color from f03-f13 for trout in rivers works duper well

[@AppalachianAnglingAdventures]

Yes sir! I have the smallest size tied on my UL right now. Also have 1 size up from the smallest version that I somehow overlook, but is a great creek bass lure

[@FishAnything]

Oh for sure! Creek bass crush this little fella! Tight lines Charles :)

[@brunobormann-ULTRALIGHTRS]

ULTRALIGHT lovers 🌲🎣🙏 Rapala is the Best, Love them Original Floating and Cowntdow CD3 Amazing 🎬🎥.

[@FishAnything]

Haha glad you approve :) Tight lines Bruno!

[@lannyseals2084]

Good ol'rapala! The original floater and the SR-5 are about the only two bait's that has never once let me down!

[@FishAnything]

They are tried and true!!

[@garrettowens6314]

Great lures! Found for an easier catch and release, switching out the treble hooks with the appropriately sized siwash hooks helps a ton. Thanks for the fun videos. 🍻

[@FishAnything]

I have been thinking about trying those Siwash hooks. Thanks for the tip Garrett!

[@TheHunterFisher]

F3 is what got me into ultralight. Got me into ultralight when I caught a 11” Gill

[@FishAnything]

That’s what’s up!! 🤠🕺🏼

[@FlyFishingTexan]

I totally AGREE!! I have used this type of lure so many times with ultra light fishing!! I like it in a variety of bright colors here in TX.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah man, glad you agree :) Simply can't go wrong! Hope all is well in TX.

[@FitzYakin]

I love Rapala and their lures are very nostalgic to me, as they are some of the very first crankbait/jerkbait style lures I ever used. And for sure, they just straight up work and are very well made. The jointed floating minnow was my absolute fav and I've caught more bass on it that I can count. I have a few of the Rapala original jerkbaits, and though i don't throw them as much as I used to, I almost always have one with me when fishing from the bank or the yak. A fun trip out on the water Ethan and a job well done by the Rapala Floating Jerkbait 😀

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah Fitzy! Can you believe that I’ve actually never owned the jointed version of this bait… Probably need to change that lol

[@jkdesigns1717]

I am a huge fan of the little minnows, especially after my recent trip to Texas! I use the Rebel Minnows, but whatever people have confidence in is going to be best for them. This lake in Texas had shad and was actually really hard to fish so I started whippn the little 2 incher rebel and I caught a Channel Cat on the surface, a Blue Cat trolling, some massive Sunfish, and some little bass. Absolutely love em and a great reminder of how good minnows cranks are as a bait. Huge fan Ethan love the content, been a subscriber for about 2 years now!

[@FishAnything]

That’s so awesome dude! I am glad you also have fun with baits like this 🤠 I bet those catfish were a riot!!

[@jkdesigns1717]

​@@FishAnything They sure were! Especially since I use 4lb test and a really nice ultralight setup EXCLUSIVELY. Your ultralight episodes really inspired me so I went all ultralight! 🎣🎣🤠

[@davidrauschenbach6871]

Busy outing! Yep have a couple in different colors so do my boys! Thanks Ethan!

[@FishAnything]

Honestly this outing was some of the quickest action I have had in a while. Probably fished 90 minutes and smoked them fish! Thanks David :)

[@JASONBECKFISHING]

F3, F5 & the F7 are ones of my favorite. Gold, Silver and rainbow trout colors work great here in Jersey for all species of panfish. Great video.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah man. Three solid sizes & three solid colors. Can't go wrong!

[@devinperreira6059]

The old go to! Cd3's are my favorite.

[@FishAnything]

The CD's are awesome too. I need to fish with them more often.

[@jordanlych3560]

Absolute favorite in fall and spring that gold goes great with tea colored water!! Never fails on me!

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah man! Such a good lure for fall when they are chasing bait around (like this trip). And yeah Gold/Black is good in pretty much all conditions but especially when there is a bit lower light conditions to your point.

[@ThePerfectComboFishing]

Confession...don't think I have ever fished it in 40 years of fishing. It looked like a lot of fun out there. It's always a rush when they lock you down in the grass and you haven't seen them yet. 2-pound test on the ultra-light certainly increases the challenge.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah man! I am surprised to hear that - maybe you should give it a try 🤠🕺🏼

[@johnnyramirez1632]

I very rarely fish mine, but this video…definitely using it next time I go out!

[@FishAnything]

Hope it works well for you!!

[@B-Rad_P-Ark]

Have loved Rapala for many years! I currently have ( in various colors) F3, 5, 7, 9, and 11. Ad well as many many others. LOL!

[@FishAnything]

Haha yeah it is easy to acquire more than you can ever realistically fish. I have several F5's and F7's as well as a variety of others. Love jerkbaits!

[@charlesforest5323]

Different moving baits like that absolutely slay this time of year!! If you aren't throwing that you need to be throwing a grasshopper type lure! I caught a big ol crappie last year on a diving repala bait like that last year!

[@FishAnything]

Oh believe me I am thinking about doing a Rebel Crickhopper video too :)

[@RamonOutdoors]

I like this lure, just haven't bought one yet. There is a ton of grass in my area so I dunno if the trebles would get snagged or not. Might switch them out for single hooks instead of trebles.

[@FishAnything]

Always wanted to try singles but haven’t done it yet. But they stay pretty high in the water column so you can keep them over most underwater grass 🤠

[@PoppaRyno]

You are doing Kansans justice! Keep it up & tight lines.

[@FishAnything]

Haha I am doing my best :) Tight lines my friend!

[@anastaciolopez1434]

Hit a spot early this morning just micro fishing but hopping to catch anything. We did really well. But it gets in the triple digits here by 9:00 am. You look like you are having some real fun. Thank you for the great video.

[@FishAnything]

Wow I don't think I want to deal with that much heat but I am a little jealous of the fact that it is still warm. It is beautiful here but the water temps are about to drop fast and fishing season will go quick :/ Glad you had luck out there :)

[@anastaciolopez1434]

Here in the southwest of Texas it is year round fishing. Very few choices as to where to fish (no water) in this desert.

[@oflofl7177]

2nd place bass on the family leader board was caught on f03 rainbow trout original floater. 17 inches

[@FishAnything]

That is a beauty of a bass no matter what you use! Nice work :)

[@JayCole37]

I had to purchase that rod after seeing you using it…! Now it’s my favorite ul…! Thanks

[@FishAnything]

Haha heck yessss my man. Seriously this rod is such a good one for the price.

[@jareddunaway5918]

The single treble hook one is the best 👍🏼

[@FishAnything]

The little itty bitty one? Love those!

[@nathanm2571]

Nice video! I’ve been having awesome days fishing my local creek with the D.T. jr’s..

[@FishAnything]

That is what I like to hear! Thank you Nathan :)

[@sterlingwilson1565]

Awesome video I love the jerk bait such a awesome lure one of my favorite lures catches everything

[@FishAnything]

Darn right! Thanks Sterling 👊🏽

[@fishingwithvin]

I got one as a child that was about 2 inches long and I caught so many fish on it, last year I got me a catfish dinner with it!

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah man they are timeless. And you were catching catfish on it? That is epic!

[@blaznazn45]

Will check it out. Thanks for the vid ad always.

[@FishAnything]

Thank you :) Hope it works well for you!

[@fishingmaster99]

Rapala are AWESOME!!! caught so many fish on all sorts of them

[@FishAnything]

They straight up work!!

[@ericmartinez5126]

Thanks for the video. The donkey is kickin tail and getting smashed down in Austin Texas. Threw a rapala today in honor of this vid. Then gracefully transferred back to the DTjr. Im really curious to know why you opt for the Revros on most vids when you own a Tatula. There's about a $150 difference. I dont own either but thanks to your vids I'll be buying the Revros first. Id love to see a reel comparison but even if you don't do one it's easy to see which gets the most use. Thanks for being you! -Eric, Texas

[@FishAnything]

Thank you Eric! I am so happy the gear is working well for you! And to tell you the truth, I love my Tatula more but I also still appreciate budget gear and have no issues with using this reel instead. Usually I use this one because it’s spooled with my 2lb mono and on a bit more versatile rod. I like the Tatula / Dobyns combo for slightly heavier jigs 🤠

[@Notjustinnn]

For some reason when I clicked I was expecting it to be mule lures 👀 I'll have to check that lure out

[@FishAnything]

Haha that would be a bit biased of me to make that video! Even if I do believe everyone needs Mule gear lol

[@oflofl7177]

Trolling with these for crappie is super efficient during sunset.

[@FishAnything]

Oh really? I will have to try that!!

[@raygissendanner1476]

Great video Ethan what is a good ultralight spinning rod that will cast a 1/64 oz trout magnet jigs that's a budget i have the kastking 6' ultralight perigee 2 it starts at 1/32

[@Hmmm220]

I love your vids they are awsomeee. Also can you do a vid of the best combo to start with ultralight fishing pls . Would be much appreciated

[@FishAnything]

Thank you so much :) I will continue to do stuff like that! Just depends on price point!

[@Sam_Neff]

Great video man👍

[@FishAnything]

Thanks YeeYeeBoy :)

[@Sam_Neff]

@@FishAnything anytime bro

[@Brunnen_Gee]

I have one of those, had it forever. I was recently using another floater like that called the Mystic Floater (made by Rebel I think), doing some creek fishing with my UL. I've also had that lure for years and years, caught a lot of fish on it. And I lost it in a tree... I was _super_ sad. Recently I picked up a Strike King Bitsy Minnow ultralight crankbait and that thing destroys the panfish and small bass.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah buddy! Sorry you lost your lure :( I definitely need to do a video on the Bitsy Minnow too. Great lure!

[@bigmikefishingchonicles9950]

Thank you for the tips sir

[@FishAnything]

Thank you for watching :)

[@stefanoggemar7845]

Hmm to be honest I have never tested rapala original. Usually have a few salmo hornet in the bag instead. But now it got my attention and I need to test it.

[@FishAnything]

Hope you like it!! 🤠

[@jackdude2626]

great videos and info got to sneak out for an hour to a local park per your info the defy ul and a donkey tail jr on a mule jig got me 3 nice bass but i was bluegill fishing hahahahahaa

[@FishAnything]

Heck to the yeah! That’s what I like to hear Jack 🤠

[@cheapbassfishing]

I owne 3 a black and gold, silver and black, and a rainbow trout pattern

[@FishAnything]

Those are some of the best colors they make :)

[@ponycarguy]

Great video!

[@FishAnything]

Thanks as always 🤠🕺🏼

[@skj468]

Have you tried any piscifun reels? I heard great things about their carbon X

[@FishAnything]

Haven't tried them yet! I have no issues with them but tend to trust Daiwa, Shimano, Pflueger, and other more established brands a bit more. Might have to try one!

[@Charsept]

"Renosky Keystone Minnow" is the best panfish lure I've used. You should try it out.

[@FishAnything]

Thanks for the suggestion! I will check it out :)

[@jonpogue427]

Hands down go to lure!

[@FishAnything]

Gotta have one ready at all times :)

[@constellationshots3893]

I think I have the creame version of this, idk if it works the same.

[@FishAnything]

Heck yeah I need to try one of those. Super budget-friendly little option.

[@Plee92]

U need get yourself some of the rozante and spearhead ryuki both duo realis. Since I remember u loving the jerkbait

[@FishAnything]

Ooooh I might have to look into those. Duo makes good stuff!

[@poimendave9536]

I have 2. They dive about a foot but I find it’s very hard to cast.

[@FishAnything]

Yeah they aren't easy to cast unless you pair them with spinning gear and light line. I can zing this little fella out there on my UL rod & 2lb mono but wouldn't even bother fishing it on a Medium rod or line above 6lb

[@dwightstephenson_fishing5150]

I have these and never fish them... But, time to change that!

[@FishAnything]

Go get them!!

[@yueher2524]

Hey! I'm a recent sub! What kind of line do you recommend on a micro set up? Mono like you have in the video? From your experience would mono be good for most things? Also what brand mono do you use?

[@FishAnything]

Hey there Yue! I definitely think Trilene Sensation is one of the best I have found. I would recommend 2lb test if you feel comfortable with your drag and don't fish for a ton of giant fish. Otherwise, 4lb test is also a great option. I started with 4 and worked my way down to 2lb. The reason I really like the 2lb is because you can cast a lot further with tiny lures and it is thinner which gives you lures more motion underwater. Tight lines!

[@iancameron198]

Slaying the Mc gills

[@FishAnything]

Some nice ones in the mix. Might have to go back and trophy hunt :)

[@jeramyh9344]

One? I have a whole box of just Rapala Floaters.

[@FishAnything]

Sounds like you have good taste in lures :)

[@frankdudek6242]

👍

[@FishAnything]

:) Hi there Frank!

[@natebonebusta]

Is that a repaired Dobyns rod I spy?

[@natebonebusta]

@Lybrari I saw that one. I was speaking of the one he used with the donkey tail.

[@FishAnything]

Yesssssssir :) My baby is back!

[@man-of-fish8165]

theres a fly just like that called the drunk and disorderly

[@FishAnything]

One of these days I will get into fly fishing. The fly names have the best names haha

[@cuko3232]

Why that paddle look like it been throu a murder crime lmfao

[@FishAnything]

Lol it is the intimidation factor on the water to any boaters that want to run me over.
