Aptly named, the Rapala RipStop 09 Jerkbait is built with a one-of-a-kind body style that lessens forward travel after each twitch, delivering a unique action that is unlike anything bass have ever seen. Built with a secondary lip towards the rear of the bait, the Rapala RipStop 09 Jerkbait creates a fast-ripping, flashing swimbait action that stops on a dime. It also produces a subtle shimmy before coming to a rest then ever so slightly lifts its head with a super-slow rise.
Effective with a wide range of cadences, the Rapala RipStop 09 Jerkbait can be worked with a straight cast-and-wind retrieve, wind-and-stop, twitch, snap, rip, and suspend. Fish it your favorite way for all species of gamefish. Complete with VMC black-nickel fine wire hooks for instant hook penetration, the Rapala RipStop 09 Jerkbait delivers a completely re-envisioned jerkbait design that will “stop” big fish dead in their tracks.

Comments: I've been using these since late 2017 and have not had any issues with bills or cracking. These work. I would give one to anyone that just wanted to make some casts and catch a fish. The smaller size, not the bigger. I have not done well on the larger one, but I don't fish it very often.

Comments: Have used all types of jerkbaits from high end to low end. This suspending jerkbait in the 12 in both original and deep work great. You don't need to use suspend strips but can alter hooks up or down a size to either slow rise or slow sink or just leave as is. I find that without any alterations it will suspend but slow sink at a rate of 1 foot per 25 seconds if left alone. At this price I can by two of them over the more talked about competitor for the same price and this stops on a dime and immediately flattens out. From here on out this is the only jerkbait I will buy. The one downfall is they need more colors but the silver shiner, clown and blue work well in each specific water type.From: John: 12/30/20
Comments: Terrible quality but amazing colors and great action. These just are not durable at all. I have multiples of most if not all of the colors. They are starting to develop spider cracking in the sides of the baits. Most have never even been used. The plastic they use to make these is of very poor quality. Had the same thing happen to the bills of nearly 100 of their other jerkbaits. Rapala actually took every one back and gave me my money back for those. Stored inside in tackle boxes. The plastic just goes bad after a while. it's very strange. You would be better off sticking luckycraft, megabass, jackall, IMA, etc for your jerkbait selection.

Comments: I like the action on this bait it does stop very fast as it says I like to really rip this bait. They had an all silver bait that I lost and now I don't see that color, sucks bring it back, please. Very nice bait not super expensive compared to some of my other pricy jerk baits that make you nervous to throw them.From: Unknown: 4/11/20
Comments: Cannot say just how much I love Rapala's RipStop baits. They're super affordable for me, the action is fantastic. Most of my best fish were produced on Ripstops!From: Steve P: Washington 1/27/20
Comments: Great bait, casts great and has good action and it's produced for me, if you wanna cut out the bycatch go to the bigger size, the smaller size works great but it will catch anything that swims, not the most durable but it works great.
From: Tim: Nj 2/1/19
Comments: Great bait, catches anything and everything!!! Had 2 consecutive days with 30+ fish this is my new go to small Jerkbait... On a side note to the person who wrote review that said you can't cast this bait with medium rod and baitcaster, ya might want to learn how to adjust your magnets!!!! I can cast this thing a country mile...
From: Martin: Illinois 3/29/18
Comments: Excellent little numbers jerkbait. The ripstop catches anything that swims, and makes a great pond jerkbait or searchbait. If I'm fishing from the bank and don't want to risk losing a pointer or a 110, this is my new go to. Also, if you're using a medium powered rod, and can't cast this with a baitcaster, you need to learn how to dial in your reel and practice using your thumb more.

Comments: Took the RipStops out for a trial run this past weekend; water temps were 56 in the AM and air temps were in upper 30's. Sounds like perfect jerkbait weather to me. I am new to jerkbaits this season and the RipStops are the first I have ever owned. After fishing for several hours without a bite on a favorite lake (with the normal reliable soft plastic baits) I decided to tie on a RipStop and see what they could do. I am pleased to say that I did catch em' after tying on the bait (well; kind of). The action is great and this bait makes it easy for a jerkbait newbie like me to use. However; the drawback was the fact that the first bait I tied on was broken about 15 minutes later. The small boot tail on the bait broke off and now the bait is pretty much useless to use in the way it was designed. Not sure why it broke off but I was certainly disappointed that a $9.00 bait was trash after only 15 minutes of fishing. Fortunately I do own 10 of these so I put on another color and went back at it. It was once I changed baits that the action began (maybe the first one was defective from new?). So first; a great product in the fact that it does catch bass; the bait does exactly what Rapala says it'll do. But I am not very pleased with the quality since the boot tail broke off on the first one very quickly.
From: PaBassMan: PA 11/6/17
Comments: When Rapala makes a new rip bait, I buy it. Tested it out on a pressured pond and caught everything but bass, which is cool with me. They thought it was real and so will the bass. The tail end is kind of shiny on some colors so I colored it black. The fish wore it off and kept hitting, so it prob doesn't matter.
From: Jay6: East Coast 11/2/17
Comments: If you have baitcasting gear. This is not for you. It is lightweight and has no moving weights system. It can be done but you are wasting time with each cast because it won't travel out too far. Good finish. But because it has no weight system, I returned it and will invest in a smaller jerk bait which will have a weight system.

Comments: One of the best rapalas jerk baits. Perfect size and action.
From: Unknown - St Paul, MN 9/10/17
Comments: Picked one up today. Great small jerkbait, I was getting hit right up to the bank. Great erratic action and it suspends perfectly. You can give it a lot of movement without moving it to far because of the design.
