The Rapala Ott Garage Rocco 05 is a diving crankbait born from professional angler Ott DeFoe's lure-building workshop—part of the OG Series that bridges custom garage craftsmanship with production reliability. Built on buoyant balsa construction, this small crankbait delivers the castability and versatility serious bass anglers demand, whether you're targeting shallow structure, wood, or reactive strikes in cover.
The Rocco's square circuit board lip design creates a diving profile paired with a medium rolling action that feels natural in the water. That buoyant balsa core does more than float—it gives the bait excellent deflection off rocks, logs, and dock pilings, and helps it back out cleanly when it hangs up, saving gear and keeping you in the strike zone longer. The Rootbeer Crawdad finish mimics natural forage and blends well in stained water and low-light conditions.
At 05 size, the Rocco fits smaller, clearer waters and finesse presentations while still casting enough to cover water efficiently. If you've been running generic crankbaits or want a lure with real design lineage, the OG Series delivers the kind of considered engineering that separates working baits from filler in your tackle box.
