Count Down vs. Jointed Rapalas

[prvrt]

I have used both and only buy the jointed Rapala's now. It maybe the fact that I troll with them more often than not, but when I fished them side by side, the jointed always came out way ahead. I usually use a J5 or J7, but on the larger reservoirs, I have good luck trolling J9's. From the bank, all you have to do is add a little weight 1-2' before the Rapala. Since the jointed float, I seem to loose less of them bank fishing also as they do not sink to the bottom like the countdowns and hang up.
