New Rapala Vibrating Crank

As a huge fan of lipless/vibrating cranks for bass these look like they could be really good baits.  I used the Yozuri 3d Vibes until they stopped making them and when Rapala came out with the X-rap style finish I hoped they would finally make a vibrating crank in the same style.  Here it is.  Great colors. 
 
Yo-zuri made a 3d finish long before Rapala did but they now make their lipless cranks in a more metallic finish.  I'd pay good money for the old Yo-Zuri 3d vibes in chartreuse.  Very different from the ones you see now.  These Raps are a close match.
 
Look to be a large size of 3 and 1/8 inch but I expect they will make a smaller size.

    Looks nice. There's always room in the tackle box for one more lure or room for a bigger tackle box!

    Very nice. I think I am going to have to get a couple of them. I agree that they have some great colors.

    While the thread title is so wrong, these lures look great, and I'll be getting either silver or perch.
