Description

The Rapala Floating Jointed J5 is a 5cm, 4g two-piece jointed minnow made from plastic rather than the balsa used elsewhere in the J-series. It floats and runs at 0.9–1.5m, and is rigged with two size 10 hooks.

The hinged body lets it swim with a lifelike wriggle at speeds well below what a standard floating minnow needs to work, riding with its back breaking the surface film. Available in a range of official Rapala colourways including Yellow Perch, Blue, Fire Tiger, Gold Fluorescent Red, Perch, Rainbow Trout and Silver.

Information

The swimming action

The jointed, two-piece body gives this Rapala a lifelike wriggle at speeds well below what a standard floating minnow needs to work, riding with its back breaking the surface film.

When to throw it

Effective for shallow water where a more exaggerated swimming action is wanted, drawing strikes from fish that won't commit to a straighter-swimming bait.

How to work it

Works from a dead-slow crawl through to a standard retrieve without losing action; short pauses let the jointed sections settle and flutter before moving off again.

The setup it likes

Suits a 6'6" medium-light spinning rod with 6–10 lb fluorocarbon and a 2000–2500 reel.

Straight answers

How is it priced?

We aim to beat your local price. We ship direct from Japan, cutting out the overseas middleman, and shipping is shown at checkout before you pay.

When does my order leave Japan?

Orders are packed in Japan and leave within 3–8 business days, tracked. You get a tracking number by email the moment it ships.

How long does delivery take?

Your order leaves Japan in 3–8 business days, tracked. Checkout shows the delivery options for your country, with their price and delivery estimate, before you pay.

Will I be charged import duty or tax?

US import duty is shown as its own line at checkout, before you pay. Your parcel then travels duty-paid, so there is nothing to pay on delivery.

Is it genuine stock?

Yes. Every item is genuine Japanese-market stock, sourced in Japan from an established Japanese wholesaler and shipped straight to you. Never marketplace resellers.
