scrubs Posted March 11, 2015 Report Share Posted March 11, 2015 Ok, in my surfing the net for lures for Jacks, Ladyfish and Roosters I came across a site that talked about removing the lips from floating Rapalas for Jacks. Anybody ever tried this? I'm thinking of KO's. bill Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jonister Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I had a rapala stickbait that the lip fell out of. it ran like a topwater i guess. took me a few casts to realize what had happened . i only caught bull frogs on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mark poulson Posted March 13, 2015 Report Share Posted March 13, 2015 I'm sure a floating bait with a lip removed would work as a twitch bait, but it isn't weighted like a top water walking bait, so your retrieves might be kind of limited. I have shortened and heated the lip on a floating jerk bait, and turned it down so the bait wakes. That works, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
