Rapala ClapTail 110 Topwater Bait

The Rapala ClapTail 110 is a hard-hitting topwater bait built to create a unique sound, splash, and surface disturbance that calls bass up from a distance. Designed with input from tournament angler Jacob Wheeler, the ClapTail 110 combines a metal prop and rear blade that collide during the retrieve to produce a distinctive two-tone clacking sound.

Unlike a traditional plopper or prop bait, the ClapTail 110 creates a different acoustic signature on the surface. The metal prop and back blade work together to create a rhythmic clack, splash, and churn that can trigger aggressive strikes from bass feeding around baitfish, bluegill, grass edges, shade lines, docks, and open-water targets.

Unique Two-Tone Topwater Sound

The key to the Rapala ClapTail 110 is its sound. As the bait moves across the surface, the metal prop and rear blade collide to create a loud, fish-attracting clapping sound. That added noise and surface commotion make it a strong choice when bass are willing to chase, react, or come up to strike a bait from below.

Built for Long Casts and Steady Retrieve

Rapala designed the ClapTail 110 with a durable body and balanced weight system to help anglers make long casts and keep the bait tracking consistently across the surface. It is easy to fish on a steady retrieve, making it a great search bait for covering water and finding active bass.

How to Fish the Rapala ClapTail 110

The ClapTail 110 is best fished on a steady retrieve that lets the prop and blade create their signature clacking sound. Speed up when fish are aggressive, slow down when bass are tracking but not committing, and make long casts across high-percentage water to draw fish from a distance.

Use it around grass lines, shallow cover, points, docks, and baitfish activity when bass are looking up. The ClapTail 110 is especially strong when you need a topwater bait with more sound and drawing power than a quiet walking bait or subtle popper.
