Rapala Ott Garage Rocco 05 Green Gizzard Shad

The Rapala Ott Garage Rocco 05 in Green Gizzard Shad is a diving crankbait born from professional angler Ott DeFoe's signature lure-building philosophy. Built with buoyant balsa construction and a distinctive square lip, this crankbait delivers the castability and deflection you need to work shallow cover and recover from hangups without losing your presentation. The medium rolling action keeps fish interested through a natural, realistic retrieve that works across a range of freshwater conditions.

Divers and structure anglers appreciate crankbaits that can handle contact with wood, rocks, and vegetation—and the Rocco 05 is engineered to do exactly that. The square lip design provides predictable diving characteristics and lets the bait back out of snags when you need it to, rather than burying itself in cover. Green Gizzard Shad is a proven color that mimics natural forage in most lakes and rivers, making it a reliable choice when you're not sure what baitfish are active.

Whether you're fishing shallow grass beds, rocky banks, or fallen timber, this hard bait rewards a straightforward, rhythmic retrieve. The buoyant balsa core means you can pause and twitch without the bait sinking away, giving you control over your depth and action. It's the kind of lure that works because it was designed by someone who actually fishes—not just sketched on a drawing board.
