Review: Stripper lure - Horrible don't buy because I need them all for myself 👀 just kidding I shouldn't tell this but it's the best stripper lure I've personally used
Review: Excellent lure for Striped Bass - These lures work well for Striped Bass in the shallow tidal estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay. The smaller ones don’t cast very far because of their balsa wood construction but the larger ones do much better. The treble hooks are very sharp and they last forever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Stripper lure
*by T***L on October 28, 2025*

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent lure for Striped Bass
*by C***L on July 20, 2025*

These lures work well for Striped Bass in the shallow tidal estuaries of the Chesapeake Bay. The smaller ones don’t cast very far because of their balsa wood construction but the larger ones do much better. The treble hooks are very sharp and they last forever.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very large
*by T***M on May 3, 2025*

I love the original Rapals. This was a bit big, but will make for a great reddish or trout if you change the hooks to stainless. Can't wait to try it 🤙
