Rapala Soft Otus 18cm 55g Smelt On the Beach

Rapala Soft Otus 18 cm 55 g Smelt On the Beach – Versatile Soft Bait for Trophy Predators

The legendary X-Rap Otus action, now in a soft plastic body that delivers enhanced vibration and lifelike movement for targeting pike, zander, and other large predators.

Irresistible Slow-Sinking Glide

The Soft Otus maintains its signature wide tail-kicking action with body roll even at the slowest retrieves. On the pause, the tail stabilises the lure as it glides enticingly into the depths – a trigger big predators cannot ignore.

Textured Body for Maximum Water Displacement

Soft plastic construction combined with a three-dimensional scale pattern creates amplified vibrations that call fish in from a distance. The realistic finish and natural body roll make this bait highly convincing in clear or pressured waters.
