Rapala Ott Garage Rocco 05 Citrus Shad

The Rapala Ott Garage Rocco 05 in Citrus Shad is a hard diving crankbait built from the real-world experience of pro angler Ott DeFoe. This lure brings garage-tested design to the water—balsa construction keeps it buoyant and responsive, while a square circuit board lip gives it the deflection and action needed to navigate cover and escape snags. Whether you're casting into timber, around grass, or rocky structure, the Rocco is built to handle it.

The Citrus Shad finish matches the baitfish colors that work across lakes and rivers throughout much of the country. Medium rolling action and high castability make this crankbait easy to throw all day, and its buoyancy means you can work it shallow or let it settle into strike zones without constant reel pressure. It's a lure that rewards both power-fishing and patient anglers—versatile enough for exploration, refined enough to repeat when you find the zone.

Part of the OG Series born from Ott's personal bait-building legacy, the Rocco represents the kind of thoughtful design that comes from thousands of hours on the water. Not flashy, not over-complicated—just a hardworking crankbait that deflects, backs out of trouble, and catches fish.
