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 is strike zone. That is 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 minnow.
SLACK LINE LOOK BACK
After a sharp snap and generous slack line, it will actually spin around and look backwards.
Features:
Incredible Life-Like Finishes
Kicks Almost 180 Degrees Right Then Left
Action Keeps Shadow Rap® in Strike Zone Longe...

Rapala
There’s a reason more fishermen around the world put their faith in the original balsa lure from Finland. Beginning in 1936, the successes of the Original Floater, Magnum and the Shad Rap were followed by other Rapala products that found their way into tackle boxes of anglers around the world. Lures like the Husky Jerk, Fat Rap, Countdown and the new innovative lures like the X-Rap, DT series and the Twitchin’ Rap. It is a legacy of unwavering quality that can be seen in every lure, every fillet knife, every pro-designed tool and every accessory that we make.
