WHAT IS IT?
Rapala ClapTail 110
WHAT SETS IT APART?
The 7/8-ounce ClapTail 110 includes two No. 3 VMC Hybrid Trebles. Intentionally built heavy, the bait sits tail-down in the water. When you start the retrieve, that weight creates additional resistance, which makes the prop turn faster and causes the clapping sound created by the blade and prop to emanate at a quicker pace. The ClapTail 110’s color choices are Broken Bone, Black Back Shad, Green Gizzard Shad, Matte Shad, Night Aurora, Okie Bone, Pure Chrome and True Gill.
HOW DO I USE IT?
If you’re looking for subtle, this is not the bait for you. However, if you want something that’s guaranteed to attract attention and very likely irritate a bass into biting, you might want to give the Rapala ClapTail 110 a look. This topwater bait with a metal prop sports a back blade that hits the prop during a retrieve. The resulting two-tone sound rings the dinner bell for hungry fish. Built with a durable body and balanced for long casts, the ClapTail 110 includes a built-in belly swivel that reduces the chances of a hooked fish finding enough leverage to escape.

ANGLER’S INSIGHT:
Taking nothing away from Rapala’s R&D process, but at first glance, the Rapala Clap Tail 110 looks like the kooky love child of a plopper-style bait and a clacking buzzbait. But think about it: Do both of those styles catch fish? Well, there ya go. Seriously, this bait’s creative design checks off several key boxes: castability, durability (stainless steel prop), hook-up efficiency and — perhaps most important — that elusive “something different.”
