Odds are one of those outdoors enthusiasts will land on your holiday shopping list this winter. Luckily, there’s no need to stress. Make your holiday shopping quick and easy with sure-fire gifts from Rapala® and Respected Rapala® Brands.

From the world’s favorite lures to must-have accessories and quality apparel for on and off the water, check out the latest and greatest from the most trusted name in fishing for plenty of gift-giving inspiration this year.

Rapala^® RipStop^® Size 12
The Rapala RipStop is a fast-ripping, hard-stopping fish-catching machine. It’s also this year’s perfect stocking-stuffer.

This summer, the experts at Rapala introduced a larger RipStop to complement the original size 09 model, providing bass-obsessed anglers with a larger option to help them catch even bigger fish.

The size 12 RipStop features all the design elements that made the lure an instant classic, but with a longer profile, more weight for longer casting and a third VMC^® hook that will increase the odds that each bite ends with a fish in your favorite angler’s net.

The secret to the RipStop’s success is its one-of-a-kind boot tail, which creates a hard-rolling, slashing action that mimics live minnow movements and causes the bait to stop on a dime when paused. As the RipStop’s body shimmies as it comes to rest, it will slowly rise, signaling an easy meal for predators. The bait can be fished as a twitch bait or popped and ripped like a jerkbait. It works equally well when retrieved at a steady pace.

The new size 12 Rapala RipStop swims between 4 to 5 feet, measures 4-3/4 inches long and weighs 1/2 ounces. It’s available in 14 appetizing color patterns to match the hatch in local waters across the country.

Sufix^® Advance™ Monofilament
For years diehard anglers have hoped for the perfect multiuse fishing line, one that is sensitive enough to detect subtle bites, yet strong enough to reel in mammoth trophy fish. Enter new Sufix Advance^™ Monofilament: the first mono that thinks it’s a braid.

A versatile gift for the anglers on your shopping list, Sufix Advance Mono is well-suited for targeting multiple species in nearly any scenario — from big bass to wiley walleye and aggressive pike.

Breaking new ground in the category, Sufix Advanced Monofilament is made up of fiber molecules traditionally found in braided line. This unique composition is achieved through Sufix’s proprietary magnetic extrusion process, which blends fiber molecules to form the strongest bond seen to date in monofilament line. The end result is an innovative product that delivers on durability without sacrificing the line’s suppleness and excellent handling characteristics.

Offering anglers 50 percent lower stretch and UV absorption than standard monofilament, Sufix Advance Monofilament offers smooth, extra-long casting and unbeatable knot strength, upping anglers’ chances of hauling in a trophy catch. Available in clear and low-vis green, the line is available tests between 4-25 pounds in spools up to 330 yards.

New Rapala^® Patterned Snapback Trucker Caps

Each cap’s adjustable plastic snapback closure ensures a snug, comfortable fit.
