When I first started throwing bladed jigs, I found myself tying on a traditional spinnerbait less frequently. When we started working with Omega Custom Tackle on their eCommerce website, they introduced us to the Rapture Vibrating Jig. Since then, I forgot where I put my traditional spinnerbait box. 

My first product testing trip with the Rapture on Lake Okeechobee was all it took. Casting the 3/8 oz. jig tied to 15lb. braid and fluorocarbon leader had my hands buzzing as the jig hit the water and the blade went to work. The unique design with the swivel connection brings the action to life. This lure doesn't just fish. It hunts.

Taking the design even further, bass forage is replicated in amazing durable finishes. From bluegill and threadfin shad patterns to the vibrant purple haze pattern (which I personally haven't tied on because it just looks too good on my desk).  

Finishes and action are one thing. But does it produce?

I have always read about 50-fish days on Lake Okeechobee but thought they were just fish stories. But throwing the Rapture on a overcast day in early spring, the 50 fish day was real. 

The design hinges on the Made in the USA Sampo ball bearing swivel that connects the blade to the head. This key feature has multiple attributes that trigger violent strikes and keep fish hooked up. The unique connection induces Rapture’s unique “hunting action” that fish can’t resist with a simple “stop and pop” retrieve. Once the fish is hooked, the 360-degree rotation of the swivel aid in keeping giant bass hooked up all the way to the boat. The Rapture features a Mustad heavy wire, ultra-sharp 5/0 hook that delivers excellent hook penetration. Omega is known for its life-like bait imitating skirts and covers the full gamut of bass forage. Check them out at OmegaCustomTackle.com today and feel the vibration that bass just can't resist.
