The One Bait to Buy

Posted by Rich N on August 14, 2022

This is a killer bait. I've caught Atlantic Salmon, rainbow trout and largemouth bass trolling this one on a 3-way swivel with varying weights and leader lengths; highly recommend.

I ordered the Shadow Rap Shad on Saturday and received it the following Monday. I took it out kayak fishing on Tuesday (used it in conjunction with a 3/4 oz. bottom bouncer with a 4' lead) and had a rainbow in the boat within the first 15 minutes. I know this is not "in the box" use for the bait, but I figured its floating capability would serve my purpose; and it did. Don't let the secret get out.

I nearly ALWAYS have a jerkbait tied on year-round. They are one of my confidence baits for nearly any species, and the Shadow Rap Shad has become my favorite shallow water jerkbait! It can be used in anything deeper than a foot of water making it perfect for salt water flats or working over shallow rocks or grass. Had great erratic action, lots of flash, and triggers strikes! Only draw back is hooks and split rings could be stronger.

Excellent shad style jerkbait

Posted by Laker - Hamburg, NY on June 26, 2020

Works great so far, especially for pre-spawn smallies. Suspending baits (husky jerk, X-Rap) best for early pre-spawn, cold water, sluggish fish. These shine when fish are starting to come shallow and more active. Purpledescent excellent color.

I have been using the shadow rap for the last two years wading for spring and fall walleyes with great success (pickerel and smallies seem to like it too). This lure's design and weight allows it to be cast easily into the wind and has a very nice swimming action. The slow rise on a pause triggers a lot of strikes. They are also durable. I have several with chewed up lips from submerged rocks and bodies with lots of teeth marks, but the coloring and action are unaffected. The hooks are good for 2-3 sharpenings, but then the hooks need to be replaced...which is common.
