Don't let that dissuade you from using the flat raps. A very impressive lure. If you snap your wrists on the retrieve this lure has a sideways flash that is unbeatable. With it's wide profile it fishes much "bigger" than its 4.5" length would indicate. I usually tie an improved clinch or a gryp knot with the minnow style rapalas and position the knot on a 30 degree angle downward for a nice roll but with the flat rap it wants a lot of freedom to get that erratic side to side action when you snap your wrists so a fas snap is the way to go.
