I would honestly stick to the standard rap or x-rap for straight retrieve action. The ripstop is honestly more of a gimmick than anything else and not worth any price premium you have to pay over a standard rap or x-rap. The standard rap and x-wrap have really really good action for straight retrieve and jerk. Absolute 'chefs kiss' if you know what im saying. Salmo lures are also really good and they will catch the same fish with the same build quality and action but at a slightly lower price point.
Dont misunderstand me, I love Rapala. Almost all my lures are Rapala and I just f...ing love them. But do you really think that small beal in the tail, stops the bait? More than what the front lip does???? Really? Look the xrap videos, they stop the same. Dont fool us. Parachute of a race car, really??? its a nice bait with a nice action, but its not nothing new. Just my opinion.
