It is intended for shallow-water pike presentations, with a stated running depth of 0.6–1.5 m and a glide just below the surface. Choose it for that upper depth range, not when you need a deep-diving lure.
Point the rod tip down and twitch it to make the broad body glide from side to side. You can also keep the tip still and use a start-stop retrieve to imitate a struggling baitfish, so the action can be controlled with either the rod or the reel.
No. All eight variants are 12 cm long, weigh 53 g and list a running depth of 0.6–1.5 m. Choose between their colour patterns without changing those specifications, as no colour-specific water or light guidance is supplied.
The lure has VMC Coastal Black Nickel treble hooks, with size 2/0 listed for every variant. Handle the sharp hooks with pliers and store the lure separately in a securely closed, dry tackle box to reduce tangles, accidental hook contact and rust.

The Rapala Twitchin' Rap is a broad-profile jerkbait for pike fishing in shallow water. Its classic shad-shaped body responds to rod-tip movements with a wide lateral glide just below the surface. All eight colour variants are 12 cm long, weigh 53 g and have a stated running depth of 0.6–1.5 m.
Hold the rod tip down and twitch it to produce a subsurface walk-the-dog action, with the lure moving alternately left and right. Alternatively, keep the rod tip still and use a start-stop retrieve to imitate a struggling baitfish. A steady retrieve is also supported by the manufacturer's description. The stated depth makes this a shallow-running choice, not a deep-diving lure. The TWR12 listings in CRB, HLW, HTPK, PEL, DDG and YSH specify slow-sinking buoyancy.
The manufacturer's family description specifies an abachi body, with the wood selected for consistent density and a reliable sink rate. The responsive construction helps translate rod movements into the gliding action. VMC Coastal Black Nickel treble hooks are fitted, and every variant lists hook size 2/0. The six TWR12 listings specify two hooks, model 4551 CB.
The family offers CRB (Classic Red & Black), HLW (Halloween), HTPK (Hot Pike), PEL (Live Perch), Scaled Baitfish, Scaled Roach, DDG and YSH. Length, weight and stated running depth are identical across these variants, so the meaningful choice is the colour pattern. The supplier does not give colour-specific water or light recommendations. Where Neptun lists the contents, one jerkbait in the selected colour is supplied.
Treat the fitted hooks as sharp, keep the lure away from children and use pliers when handling it at the hooks. Inspect the body, hooks and connections before use and do not use a damaged lure. Store it separately in a securely closed tackle box and keep the box dry to help prevent hook rust. Use it only for fishing and follow local fishing regulations.
