There are some specific lures that will work better than others. Here are 5 fall bass lures from Rapala that will get you going.

Rippin' Rap

Rapala Rippin' Rap 05; 2"; Variable; Helsinki Shad

The Rippin Rap is a lipless crankbait with a few specific characteristics. This bass lure is has a thinner profile than most other crankbaits. It also has a deep belly that holds a couple of noise making BBs. The thin profile offers up an attractive flutter on the way down after the cast. Afterwards you can retrieve as you would any crank or use it per its namesake by ripping it through rocks and grass to provoke that strike. This is one lure you want to make sure you are trying this fall.
