🐀 5” Wake Ratt – Natural Rat Profile

5” Wake Ratt

The 5-inch Wake Ratt is built to imitate one of the most vulnerable meals a predator can find—a rat struggling across the surface. Designed to create a subtle wake and natural swimming action, this bait excels at drawing explosive strikes from bass lurking around shallow cover.

Its realistic profile and surface-tracking action make it an excellent choice when fish are feeding upward and looking for a larger meal. Whether worked slowly along the bank or over submerged cover, the Wake Ratt delivers the kind of presentation that turns curiosity into commitment.

• Realistic Rat Profile: Designed to imitate a swimming rodent moving across the surface.
• Wake Action: Creates a steady surface trail that predators can track from a distance.
• Jointed Body Design: Produces natural movement that brings the bait to life.
• Large Meal Profile: Appeals to quality fish looking for an easy target.
• Premium Hardware: Equipped with strong split rings and sharp treble hooks.

🕐 When & Where to Use

The 5” Wake Ratt shines from late spring through early fall, especially during low-light periods when bass move shallow to feed.

Best locations include:

• Grass lines
• Laydowns
• Cypress trees
• Docks
• Weed edges
• Shallow flats
• Overhanging trees and brush

Fish it with a slow, steady retrieve to create a consistent wake. The slower the retrieve, the more natural the presentation. It is especially effective during early mornings, evenings, overcast days, and after dark.

👉 Big bass don't see a rat very often—but when they do, they rarely let it get away.
