Rapala Ott Garage Rocco 05 Hot Copper Green Shad

The Rapala Ott Garage Rocco 05 in Hot Copper Green Shad is a diving crankbait born from professional angler Ott DeFoe's lure-building expertise. This hard bait combines buoyant balsa construction with a square circuit board lip designed to deflect off cover and back out when it hooks into brush, wood, or other obstacles—exactly what you need when fishing tight spots where bass and pike like to hide. Built for castability with a medium rolling action, it's the kind of lure that performs predictably whether you're working shallow flats or dredging deeper structure.

The Hot Copper Green Shad finish is a proven natural pattern that mimics forage fish in a wide range of water conditions. Whether you're targeting largemouth and smallmouth bass in lakes, or pike and musky in rivers, this 05 size gives you a realistic profile without being oversized or hard to cast. The Rocco's design philosophy—drawn straight from DeFoe's garage workshop—prioritizes functionality over flash: a lure that catches fish because it works, not because it looks expensive.

If you fish cover-heavy water or prefer crankbaits with genuine deflection and escape action rather than lures that just wedge and hang, the Rapala OG Rocco deserves a spot in your tackle box. It's the kind of bait that earns its keep through a season of consistent performance.
