Rapala Claptail Lure 110mm

A high-impact topwater propbait with dual metal blades that “clap” together to call fish up and trigger violent surface eats.

Built for Aussie surface fishing, the Rapala Claptail combines a tail prop and upper blade that collide to create a distinctive two-tone sound predators can’t ignore. The compact body is balanced for long, accurate casts across wind and swell, while the floating posture and tight roll keep the lure tracking straight during a steady retrieve or twitch-pause cadence.

A front swivelling hook hanger reduces a fish’s leverage during the fight, keeping trebles connected on surging barra, Murray cod and XL flathead. Finished with 3D holographic eyes and premium paintwork, the Claptail is a must-have when you need to cover water, locate active fish and draw reaction strikes in low light, choppy conditions or along current lines.

Frequently Asked Questions

What species is the Claptail best for?
It’s ideal for barra, Murray cod, queenfish, mangrove jack and big flathead—any predator that hunts on top or reacts to surface commotion.

How should I retrieve it?
Start with a steady medium-speed burn to let the blades clap continuously. Mix in twitches and short pauses when fish are following but not committing.

Can I use it in choppy water?
Yes. The two-tone blade sound and stable body help fish locate the lure in wind, swell and current.

What tackle suits this lure?
A medium baitcast or spin outfit with 20–40lb braid and a short 40–80lb leader gives the best casting distance and hook-setting power for barra and cod.
