Rapala Jointed Minnow
The Rapala Jointed Minnow takes the legendary Original Floating Minnow to the next level with an articulated body that creates an exaggerated wounded baitfish action. Featuring Rapala's classic balsa wood construction and a jointed design, this lure produces an irresistible swimming motion that triggers aggressive reaction strikes from freshwater predators.
Built from premium balsa wood, the Jointed Minnow floats naturally at rest and dives with an energetic side-to-side action when retrieved. The articulated body creates additional movement and vibration, making it especially effective when fish are feeding aggressively or keying in on injured baitfish. Fish it with a steady retrieve, twitch-pause cadence, or troll it behind the boat to cover water and locate active fish.
Like every classic Rapala lure, the Jointed Minnow is hand-tuned and tank-tested to ensure perfect swimming action right out of the package. Premium VMC® Black Nickel treble hooks, durable finishes, and realistic baitfish patterns complete one of the most productive hard baits ever designed.
Whether you're fishing lakes, rivers, reservoirs, streams, or ponds, the Rapala Jointed Minnow remains a proven producer that belongs in every freshwater tackle box.
