The Rapala Jigging Rap 1-1/4″ Gold (W2G) is a compact yet powerful lure that delivers precision swimming action and unmatched versatility for ice fishing and open water. Designed with a balanced, weighted minnow profile, this jig swims in wide, enticing circles that draw aggressive strikes from perch, crappie, trout, and other game fish.

The Gold finish adds a bright, reflective flash that imitates small baitfish, making it especially effective in both clear and low-light conditions. Equipped with single reversed hooks, a center treble, and an eyelet on top, the Jigging Rap is built for multiple techniques, whether youreyo-yoing off the bottom, vertical jigging, or targeting suspended fish in open water.

Its weighted design ensures a quick drop to the strike zone, while the tail fin delivers the iconic Rapala swimming motion that fish cant resist.

Each lure is hand-tuned and tank-tested for perfect balance and action right out of the box. At 1-1/4 inches and 1/8 oz., the W2G is a go-to for anglers who want finesse control and dependable results in any season.

The W2 is the ultra-finesse member of the Jigging Rap family. At just 1 1/4 inches, this is the “surgeons tool” for hard-water and open-water anglers. While the larger models are known for aggressive searching, the W2 is specifically designed for surgical precision when fish are highly pressured, neutral, or focused on microscopic forage like zooplankton and tiny minnow fry.

Key Performance Features

• Ultra-Finesse Profile: The 1 1/4″ length mimics the smallest hatch of the season. In mid-to-late winter, when metabolism slows and fish become “picky,” this downsized profile often triggers strikes that larger lures simply cannot.
• Micro-Swimming Action: Despite its tiny size, the W2 retains the iconic balanced design that allows it to swim in a circular arc. The darts are tighter and more controlled than the W3 or W5, making it perfect for fishing inside tight structures like submerged brush piles or heavy weeds.
• Weight-to-Size Ratio: Weighing in at 1/8 oz, it is remarkably heavy for its small silhouette. This allows it to “punch” through the water column quickly and stay vertical even in light current, providing a crisp, clear return on high-detail sonar.
• Balanced Zinc Body: The center-weighted construction ensures that even with a tiny rod twitch, the lure “recovers” quickly to a horizontal plane. This “dead-stop” at the end of the glide is often the exact moment a perch or crappie decides to commit.
• Target-Specific Hooking: Like its larger siblings, it features a single nose hook, a single tail hook, and a small belly treble. Even on this micro-scale, the hooks are needle-sharp and designed to pin fish with minimal pressure essential when using the light-test lines required for this lure.
