Rapala Ultra-Lite Kit (ULKT1)

Four proven ultralight Rapala lures for panfish and trout, at a higher cost per lure.

We bought Docooler 10 Pcs Fishing Lures Mixed Hard/Soft Baits Popper Crankbait VIB Topwater Floating Lures Hooks Kit. It's no longer documented anywhere, so this page reviews the closest well-covered match. It is a mixed hard bait lure kit with crankbait and lipless rattle styles from a well known brand with a maker page and reviews, though smaller and pricier.

The short version

Buy it if
  • Anglers new to ultralight spinning gear
  • Trout, crappie and panfish fishing in streams and small lakes
  • A gift for someone who fishes
Skip it if
  • You want a large mixed kit with soft plastics and topwater baits
  • You fish heavy line for big bass
  • You want to pick your own colors

What owners like

  • Lures work as they come, with no tuning needed
  • Good mix for trout, crappie, panfish and small bass
  • Easy entry point for someone new to ultralight fishing

Common complaints

  • Only four lures, fewer than generic kits at a similar price
  • Colors are not chosen by the buyer and may differ from photos
  • Sizes are too small for heavier bass or saltwater tackle

Based on Rapala's product page, a tackle retailer listing, a fishing blog's ultralight lure guide and the Amazon listing title. Little independent criticism was found, so complaints reflect the kit's stated limits..

What it does

A 4 lure set of small Rapala hard baits (a floating minnow, a sinking minnow, a crankbait and a lipless rattle bait) for trout, panfish and bass on light tackle; reviewed here in place of the generic Docooler 10 piece lure kit.

  • Lures picked by Rapala's pro staff for ultralight fishing
  • Covers several depths, from a floating minnow to a sinking CountDown
  • Rattlin' Rapala adds sound for murky water
  • Lures are hand tuned and tank tested, per one review
  • Colors vary from the photos, per Rapala

A good starter set for anyone fishing ultralight gear who wants proven, name brand lures that run right out of the package. The trade-off is fewer lures for more money than generic mixed kits, and no topwater popper or soft plastics.
