[@martydanzer4376]

Black and silver in the 4 inch size is my favorite for casting around under cut banks...the fish crush them!

[@badfishingbissanschlagdril3637]

Rapala angry birds are nice👍🏼🎣 Know them?

[@edjones7768]

Watched this show, went to store bought a Rapala, went to the lake the 3rd cast beautiful 12 inch rainbow trout hite the Rapala lure, first Fish in 30 years what thrill!!! I'm a fan for sure!!!

[@SpaceTravel1776]

Nice!

[@theangleraquarist]

That’s awesome Ed!

[@gavincarroll2553]

Damn in 30 years I didn't catch a fish last year and I thought it's been a while

[@munchems]

That’s amazing man. Tight lines!

[@GregKrsak]

What color pattern of Rapala?

[@michaelmora9363]

Man I’m so happy you make tutorial videos!! I just started fishing less than a week ago and have been obsessed with you channel! Keep grinding bro love the content

[@MarksShrimpTanks]

I didn't always catch fish when I went camping but I do now thanks to this channel, as soon as I changed to using a bumper of about 2-rod lengths and rapalas (jointed 7cm is my fav ) I am catching fish constantly, Last trip I had 20 plus brownies.

[@juliebrigham3374]

You are so easy to listen to and understand. Thank you. Have Used Original Rapala’s in Colorado for YEARS !!:)

[@BassRaider]

Perfect timing. They just stocked my local lake. Def gonna grab a Rapala

[@joeyskoden9169]

Fished with the silver/black/red jointed rapala and caught over 12 trout, it was unreal. By way of Alcova Wyoming Good vid!

[@Bobo03x]

I’ve always been an in-line spinner guy when targeting trout. My buddy at work put me onto rapalas to mix things up and I’m glad you boys agree. Just picked up several and am waiting for the season to open!

[@thehunterian]

Hey, I saw you at the expos! I started watching your channel not too long ago and I’m enjoying the content. Keep up the good work!

[@smalvinsmash8144]

Glad to see you guys are focusing more on youtube content. I really enjoy the channel 👍

[@Ps2352]

Just going through some of the older vids you guys do. Marlin I really like your manner or talking to the camera. It seems like you are just simply talking and sharing what you know. Thanks from Oregon

[@commerc9102]

Bass fishing in the mid west I was always told to use a tight knot on rapallas that come with a split ring, but u use a rapalla knot for the hard ring. Kinda like a bowlin knot with a fisherman's backing it up. Thanks for the vids

[@bretbrinknan3798]

I like the page been getting more into trout fishing I’m a avid walleye fisherman i do know a lot of them older rapalas don’t have the split rings we use a old school rapala knot it makes a crazy action that works for walleye I’m sure it work real well for trout also

[@wilsonflanders878]

Thanks for sharing marlin.Gonna try them

[@brianlarkman2484]

Just had to rob my daughters tackle box of lures I gave her. We got all three of those lol. Great video, you guys are my go to for trout educating. Tight lines !! Trout season is right around the corner for me.

[@growwithjoe8361]

I've been throwing jointed raps since I was a kid, always great for a wide variety of species.

[@tylerredmond1149]

Tuning in from Kenai, AK. Just moved here and getting into fishing, this was a big help!

[@duhgreatnate249]

I use a silver original floating minnow. I have caught a few trout off of it, but it absolutely slays bass and perch. I tie the line directly to the loop on the lure with a barrel swivel about 3 feet from it. I'm definitely going to give the countdown lure a try because the floating minnow can be a challenge to cast far out. Great video!!!

[@troutbum476]

Caught a couple nice Browns on a local river using Rapala CD 3 brown trout pattern. They work ! Thanks for the video !

[@M00nkat55]

You provide great info and I like the ‘which lure works best’

[@DitchingTheSpotlightPodcast]

Okay so I bought & tied on a F5 Original Rapala in the brown trout color and in an hour I reeled in 4 trophy rainbows. I can’t thank you enough man.

[@blairtheageese5269]

I like the way you show and talk about how to fish, your very good keep up the great video

[@kemalselmanovic2016]

This is my choise Rapala for trouts! Weldone fisherman!

[@cptnblood3469]

Go raid grandpas tackle box! He knew you'd need them someday!

[@oldtobyii7740]

I just did this recently and it brought me a lot of joy. My grandfather died when I was very young. I think he'd be happy knowing some of his gear is still being used today. Some of my earliest memories are of him teaching me to fish with dog food.

[@nullbrain8552]

Thanks for the video! Caught a small mouth on number 3 yesterday after watching this video!!

[@keithlewis4423]

The jointed rapala is my go to. Best lure I have used thus far.

[@JohnRuby-cs3rx]

You guys are the best. Love the vids keep up the good work!

[@lawrencemalki573]

Thx for the tips... very awesome explanation for every detail.... and I do have question .. what line you use for those lures?

[@412Angler]

I catch trout and everything on the black and silver countdown , even caught a 8 lb flathead on it !

[@backpackingireland8624]

My pick is the Countdown in the smallest size the 25mm CD1 . I’ve caught Atlantic Salmon , Seatrout , Brown Trout and Rainbow. Little tip is remove split ring , use a fast link for quick changes , also double split ring on hooks 👌 Greetings from Ireland 🇮🇪

[@spriggdude6195]

In fast moving creeks and rivers I kill it with the Firetiger color scheme. However, the lures you show above are also killers for me in various situations. I love the jointed and floating the most for what I do.

[@leomortimer2565]

Great video! I love Rapala. For some reason, I find that the 1 1/2" rapalas have a tendency to tangle when casting so I've moved up to the 2" size in floater and sinking size. If it's windy, I find moving up to the 2 3/4" floater casts a little better. The sinking rapala are probably better in lake and rivers but I think for fishing streams and creeks of switching over to Rapala's ultra light minnow instead. I've been hearing good things about them. Their suppose to be slower sinking thus should help prevent snags.

[@humblehombre9904]

A little tip to prevent that tangle in all lures, is to slow the lure during cast just a foot or two before it lands, then the lure will be turned in the air so the knot is towards you. It straightens it.

[@alanluscombe8a553]

Just got 27 rapala lures new in the boxes for 10 bucks at a yard sale, can’t wait to try em

[@JAdams-qy7ii]

I love this freaking good video!

[@dwayneivie3350]

How about a video using a Lead core line?..truly love your videos..thanks

[@KUBKO17]

Great video! Definitely need to get one of these. Regarding “no bait” waters, isn’t anything with scent forbidden?

[@gladegoodrich2297]

Caught a 30" tiger for a new Utah catch and release record at that time. Have caught many 25" + rainbows and browns on Rapalas, WORLDS GREATEST LURE!

[@chrisemeliano5570]

Helps alot I'm born and raise in hawaii and just moved to Utah and have had the hardest time catching a fish in utah its alot different then hawaii fishing

[@tbluemel]

Thank you for a fantastic video! Great info and I am addicted to Addicted to Fishing! 😂

[@Sledgefist1]

The Perch color rapala just slams! The best lure I’ve ever bought.

[@garyrobertson9353]

The tazzy devils work a treat where I’m from for trout so I’ve never had to use a rapala. I’m going to try these out though for sure.

[@Pops1957]

In the Northland: It's called Rap-A-La, and I used a floating "Rainbow" to land a Brown (and released) a great thrill to the morning.

[@BirchBarkOutdoors]

You are correct Rap-a-la is the correct way of pronouncing it as seen on their corporate videos.

[@imagingconcepts]

Great video as always Marlin, there is a reason Rapala has been around for years, somethings always just work.

[@zzz7zzz9]

Rapala holds the world record for world records.

[@MatthewJoyceAUS]

For me, I started using Rapalas for bass. My local pond was heavily pressured with everyone throwing soft plastics which the fish had come to recognize and generally avoid. Trying something different I found they loved the original floating Rapala. I used to turn up, catch 5 or 6 smallish bass and leave while everyone else throwing soft plastics hadn't gotten a single bite.

[@FckUrFeelings_]

Bro right now I am killing it locally in ponds with the rap. Bass are going crazy

[@frankiefernandez5252]

I always switch out the trebble hooks to red ones. More natural and I get more strikes.

[@zzz7zzz9]

I switch all trebles to single barbless.

[@dwightstewart7181]

@@zzz7zzz9 .. I want to catch my fish, not poke them and then let them go.

[@OfficialParkit]

Why is red more natural?

[@frankiefernandez5252]

@@OfficialParkit resembles bleeding/wounded fish.

[@OfficialParkit]

@@frankiefernandez5252 ah didn't think of that, thanks!

[@laurentiuborlovan5244]

THANK YOU SO MUCI FOR THIS VIDEO SEUR ...GOD BLESS YOU!

[@yhcnoR]

I recommend using a barrel swivel attached to the split ring on the bill. You get the same action, but when you’re using 2-6 lb line you don’t have to worry about the edge of your split ring cutting the line. Up the line about 10 inches I use another barrel swivel for added action. No split shot should be needed. Like panther Martin spinners. A number 2 means 2lb line number 4 is 4lb line and so on so forth. Use the right diameter line with the right size lure and you cast like a dream.

[@redtobertshateshandles]

I just add a tiny solid ring to the split ring.

[@Stephenpikeman]

I put in-line single hooks on my Rapala lures. Less damage to the fish for return. Regards Stephen

[@reddevil331]

My pop had quite a few of these and I guess I just never knew how to use them and was always discouraged because I never seemed to catch anything. Only have stock trout locally in man made lakes. I like the info, just wish We had fish down in orange county like you guys have. Always wanted to travel to go fishing just never had anyone interested enough to spend the money to go on a nice trip. Amy suggestions on taking a trip up your way? Would love to reel in some of those big fish! Round here mostly trout and cats. Sturgeon and striper get big. Not really my thing. I would appreciate any advice or info for guide fishing and what not around your area. Thanks for making vids that make me want to fish every time I see them!👍🏻

[@Ramg125]

Thanks for the tips!

[@danielcross6815]

Love your channel, I am an old fart spin fisherman and you guys have helped me with many new ideas to try this fall. Now for THE most important issue at stake here...how to pronounce RAPala, which is how I understand it should be pronounced...very controversial!! Apparently they are made in Finland and this is how they say it. Please help clear up this huge issue! Thanks amigos!

[@patpacheco3296]

Love this video. I am from Southern Idaho.

Size f05 and f07 here. Black/silver, and hot steel. Hot steel is my #1 producing color on 20-23" brookies here in mn.

As much as I love pulling those behind the boat, I seriously have to ask if you're sitting in an old Valco.. the transom tabs are so familiar. I have an ancient one that I love!

[@AddictedFishing]

TheShyloke Not sure the brand of it. It’s my little pond/lake hopper

[@edwin6709]

Another great video!!!

[@peterschild7490]

I tried the countdown, it's the best lure I've used for wiled trout. Great lure, highly recommended.

[@JohnJames.]

I'll pick up two tomorrow

[@jairdabrini]

I have gotten one trout on a rapala countdown but in p&t "ponds" on premieres people mostly fish with powerbaits on weighted hooks & floats. Boring way to fish but it catches more trout if they've been intrpduced just recently.

[@joet81]

The lures that I use 90% of the time in streams when trout fishing is the number 3 or 5 brown trout pattern countdown. Works even better than spinners for me! Works amazing for steelhead as well! Great action in fast or slow water

[@SirHenryy]

Other similar lures coming out of Finland are from Nils Master, Karikko and Jesse for example, they are almost even more popular than rapala in Finland now. Absolute beasts at catching fish, especially pike, perch and zander. I bet they are not sold in NA but if you can find some, buy them!

[@tweakgames]

Hello Addicted Fishing. Do you have, or do you plan to make a squid fishing video? I would really love to see one. Thank you.

[@fredthompson8301]

Do the floating original and the jointed rapala do the same thing or should I get both of them

[@Stang413]

I learned a lot in this video. Also I didn’t know Brian Brushwood fished. 😀

[@jacobsladder6715]

I use em.. I have solid red floating jointed type.. I've caught some nice ones. But the Rebel WEE-CRAW smashes them 👍

[@hilton11000]

i use rapals often over here in wales ,from the smaller versions up to the j13 , countdowns are brilliant fish catchers ,j13 i use for sea bass and 9cm floters and countdowns for sea trout and brown trout ,the golden juvinile works well for sea trout and browns, i like the 9cm for sea trout f09 gfr great action on them especialy if the river is dirty, i also use the smaller versions i have a few different in my tackle box, and they are not bad value for the money, tight lines yall

[@cillaloves2fish688]

I like the original small floating Rapala, but they all work great. Cilla from Mesa, AZ

[@mattlong2129]

My fave is a little biddy original in perch deadly for trout

[@kenf3859]

That great information

[@williamb1791]

Original orange, small. Have caught everything from trout, crappie, perch, bluegill, bass etc. etc. Great all around bait, even for new fisherman or woman, everything hits a Rapala.

[@RonKris]

When fishing in Rivers and Streams, the small Rapala that looks like a Rainbow trout works the best for me. But my go-to river and stream lure is the Mepps #2. Fishing the Chattahoochee, Mepps #2 is champ as far as my experience. When bank fishing on the Chattahoochee (where legal) using nightcrawlers are king. When wading and drift fishing (where legal) drifting red wigglers are King.

[@JohnJames.]

My go to as well is mepps with a dressed hook if I can find them. They've doubled in price now

[@johnlayman3298]

Checking in from Grants Pass Oregon 👍

[@alfredguerrero2611]

[@ceramiart]

If I was on any trout water and could only have one lure, it would be the old Mini Fat Rap in Orange and Gold. This lure has never let me down! Sadly, you can't get them any more.

[@darrenuyematsu1472]

Going to try that on my next fishing trip

[@pagecountybassfishermen4232]

Love the broken back try those for small mouth bass or perch

[@Gypsyboy932]

Watching from Long Beach, NY.

[@ericfreeman5795]

Countdown 5 or 7, brown trout color or rainbow trout for natural color. Also bright orange or blue if I want a bright not natural (depends on the day). I even use countdown in shallower water (instead of floating). Just retrieve them before they have a chance to sink. They weigh more and are easier to cast.

[@PAwader]

I love the countdown for this exact reason, so easy to cast and they catch fish

[@redtobertshateshandles]

It's a pain when you count down and get snagged on the bottom first time. Lol. Buy two.

[@martinschulz9381]

I have not used one since I was a kid, but I will buy a few and give them a shot.

[@ethanliu122]

Do you have any color or size recomendayions for rainbow trout fishing?

[@tonywalkingstick8883]

Cherokee NC, I caught my largest native brown trout on a blue and white deep diver, shadrap rapala.

[@edwardwaters3476]

Ivé been Rapalas for over 40 years for trout in Australia. have a lot that I like but the 7 cm brown trout pattern would be number one

[@billbee235]

Man that’s literally all I use. Every year we go to Rainy Lake in Ontario for Lake Trout, Pike, and Walleyes and all I use is Rapala black and silver countdown, floaters, and deep runners. Sometimes gold works well too but that’s it and we hit the limit every year

[@partridgepimp3363]

Silver and black, gold and black, brown trout, work great in Maine for Brookfield, browns, rainbows, and landlocked salmon. Use as light of line as you dare for the species targeted.

[@SilverJunkie-ls4ub]

Countdowns and small rattlin raps are my go to

[@striperz9924]

I love the video! Been fishing with rapalas for trout for years now. Is that battleground lake?

[@AddictedFishing]

Striper Z9 Yes sir!

[@davidregan9872]

I caught a big Dolly that had 4 small fish in it, and it was still hungry! I was fishing the Quinault lake where it's legal to keep them. They must eat hundreds of salmon smolt every year!

[@lanceruscoe5228]

Tuning in from Jefferson Oregon. Santiam river represent.

[@ZachRussell.W]

I find using a loop knot with crank / jerkbaits for trout gives them a better action

[@marklenares4518]

Can that spray also be applied to Jigs? Usually I work with live bait, powerbait, salmon eggs and for the most part do pretty good. However, I seem to have a tougher time with spinners and jigs out here - Creek ponds reservoirs. Been watching you guys's videos I think I just need to widen my selection as far as color and sizes as well as technique just kind of tough not to get impatient as you all know. Thanks guys keep up the good work Telling all my co-workers about you guys I think you make great videos

[@naturethings1075]

Only countdown works in my area and only at some point in year :D
