Rapido F230

Maria's Rapido F230 is a Big Game stickbait for open-water fishing, measuring 230mm and weighing 100 grams! Specifically designed for targeting amberjack, it was created to solve one of the most frustrating scenarios in saltwater fishing—when predators follow the lure only to turn away without striking. Its extremely responsive action allows for a wide range of movements depending on the angler's retrieve style. It's this versatility that triggers the bite! Thanks to its slim body and tail-weighted design, the Rapido F230 achieves superior casting distance, outperforming the average stickbait in its class. It's also ideal for fishing from high rocks or breakwaters.

ACTION TYPES
- Long Jerk: wide and firm retrieves keep it swimming just below the surface, generating natural waves like a fleeing baitfish;
- Short, fast jerks: maintains balance without breaching the surface;
- Continuous twitching: perfectly mimics a panicked, escaping baitfish.
By switching up rhythm and style, you can create the perfect strike moment—even from fish that are normally cautious or inactive.
