Back in the day a lot of people trolled Rapalas when bait was hard to make or if targeting T-sharks. They wernt great for YT and WSB but was better than having no bait at all.

From what i remember it was the CD-13/14 in Mac and blk/silver that were popular. One thing I do advise is take off the middle hook. 2 trebles on a kayak is asking for troubles. Especially on tail hooked sharks.

Here is another reason i hate using rapalas. Too dangerous...especially if you hook up a thresher. My advice, never used them on a kayak. You're just sasking for it.
