Maria - Rapido 230F
About this lure
The Rapido F230 is the largest model in the Rapido series, designed for big game predators like kingfish and tuna. At 230mm and 100g, it offers versatile control – from natural stickbait presentations to technical, erratic actions that trigger strikes from wary fish. Its slim body ensures long casting distance and a lifelike baitfish escape pattern on the surface.
- Natural escape action – imitates baitfish fleeing on the surface
- Irregular rolling dive – unpredictable movement that excites migratory fish
- Angler-controlled versatility – easy to switch between simple or technical stickbait actions
- Slim aerodynamic body – casts further than bulkier lures
- Floating type – sits ready for instant action after the dive
- Heavy-duty setup – designed for PE8 and 140lb leaders
