Rapala Shadow Rap 7 cm

Rapala Shadow Rap 7 cm | Jerkbait

Designed to perfectly mimic the last struggle of a dying minnow, the Shadow Rap® makes tight turns when twitched, turns to look back and then settles to a head down position with a quiver before starting a slow fade-away dive on the pause.

Can be fished almost in place with short twitches, extending the time the lure spends on the strike zone.

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 minnow.

SLACK LINE LOOK BACK
After a sharp snap and generous slack line, it will actually spin around and look backwards.
