Rapala Shadow Rap

The Shadow Rap® combines a horizontal struggle with a vertical fade that perfectly mimics a minnow in trouble. Rapala has perfected the natural minnow action in this new jerkbait that triggers fish in three ways: on the kick, on a slow fading fall and on the snap back to life. Most jerk baits continue on a forward plane with each jerk. Not the Shadow Rap®. It kicks almost 180 degrees right then left, so it can be fished nearly in place with very little forward travel, keeping the flickering fade of the Shadow Rap® right in a fish's strike zone. That's when things really get interesting. IT'S ABOUT THE STRUGGLE - Kicking almost 180 degrees right then left, with very little forward travel, it stays in the strike zone. HEAD DOWN ATTITUDE - Head down, ready to work, the fixed weight system allows lure to fade slowly like a dying minnow. SLACK LINE LOOK BACK - After a sharp snap and generous slack line, it will actually spin around and look backwards.
