Your Best Fish Catching Rapala?

[nathanha]

Wanted to get an idea of what everyones favorite fish catching Rapala is. Include Size color and your targeted fish. Given my limited experiance less then a full year.

I would have to pick two:

#5 Shadrap.. Clown.. Walleye
#12 Husky Jerk.. Gold... Walleye

[qbert]

I have trouble narrowing down a color, but I'll try.

F-9 Perch
J-9 Yellow Perch
SSR-7 Bluegill, all targeting bass

Recently I have been having alot of success with the DT FAT 1 and 3 as well. They may be giving my old faithful lures a run for their money by the end of this year!!!

Right now my best Rapala is an HJ-8 in silver for bass

Never had much luck before this year with one though...

something "generic" for chubs and bass. well, i can't say just one colour

original floating 07-09 s
shad rap 05-07 ssh, cw or p
jointed 7-9 s or p
jointed 9-11 gfr (only for bass)

[creature1]

Gold X-rap sizes 6 and 8 for many different types of fish. One with tail dressing one with out.

[riverrat]

For walleye on the Detroit River any Original Floater from size 5 to 13. My all time best producer would have to be a #11 GFR followed by Chartreuse and then Clown.
