Rapala Soft Otus 18cm 55g Live Perch

Rapala Soft Otus 18 cm – Lifelike Perch Pattern for Versatile Rigging

The soft-bait evolution of the proven X-Rap Otus delivers the same predator-triggering action in a supple body you can rig any way you like.

Irresistible Swimming Action at Any Speed

The wide tail-kicking motion combined with a pronounced body roll keeps the Soft Otus alive even during the slowest retrieves. On the pause, the tail stabilises the lure as it glides enticingly toward the bottom—exactly the moment big pike or zander commit.

Textured Soft-Plastic Body for Extra Vibration

Unlike hard-bodied swimbaits, the flexible construction amplifies water displacement, sending vibrations that predators detect from a distance. A realistic 3D scale finish completes the illusion of live prey.

Choose the Right Variant

The Soft Otus 18 cm 55 g range covers a spectrum of colour patterns to match local forage and water clarity. Pick the one that fits your conditions:

• Live Perch – classic perch imitation; ideal for clear to moderately stained water where perch are native forage

• Blue Ghost – subtle hue for pressured fish or murky conditions

• Blue Glitter – flash appeal in low-light or deeper water

• Fire Tiger – high-contrast attractor for stained water

• Halloween – bold orange/black combo for aggressive strikes

• Lava Roach – dark roach silhouette for natural presentation

• Live Rainbow Trout – trout-rich waters or when targeting large brown trout feeders

• Minnow – neutral baitfish profile; all-round performer

• Scaled Roach – realistic roach pattern; slow-sinking option

• Silver – clean reflective finish for open-water situations

• Smelt On the Beach – smelt imitation; slow-sinking for finesse approaches

• Sunny Snow – bright accent for overcast days or snow-melt clarity

• BLRC – additional proven colour option
