Rapala Soft Otus 18cm 55g Lava Roach

Rapala Soft Otus 18cm 55g Lava Roach – Versatile Soft Bait for Targeting Trophy Predators

The soft bait evolution of the legendary X-Rap Otus delivers the same proven action with the freedom of variable rigging. Designed for anglers chasing pike, zander, and other large predators in diverse conditions.

Irresistible Swimming Action That Triggers Strikes

The Soft Otus produces a wide tail-kicking motion combined with an enticing body roll, even at slow retrieve speeds. When paused, the tail stabilises the lure as it glides downward, mimicking a wounded baitfish—exactly when big predators commit.

Lifelike Construction for Maximum Attraction

The textured soft plastic body generates amplified vibrations in the water, while the three-dimensional scale pattern creates a realistic appearance. The Lava Roach colour offers a natural roach profile with subtle warm tones that excel in clear to moderately stained water.
