Rapala Jigging Shad Rap

Comments: used this year on the bay of green bay . caught my limit (10) in less than 4 hours , and the largest fish ( 26 inches ) of the group I was fishing with .

Comments: Perfect for crappie and bass.

Comments: Works great with a head of a minnow on the trebble, Had great luck with lakers with this lure this year. You do have to get used to pulling them through the hole to not unhook your fish, but overall a great lure, I have better hook ups with the this style over the original. Just be careful when bringing up the hole, end hooks can catch on side of hole Caught two perch at once on this lure this year, that was fun :-).

Comments: Biggest complain is this lure is not balanced at the knot so it hangs back, not level or slightly forward like the original jigging rap. But I have had luck with it when perch and bass are active and hungry. Not something I would use when fish need to be coaxed into biting. Totally encased in plastic so paint doesn't chip like the original.

Comments: The shad rap is a good lure to use for perch, walleye, and bass when the fish are aggressive and looking for a bigger meal. It does catch fish in my experience, but it is not a lure for finesse presentation. My biggest issue with this lure is it's not balanced from the top eyelet like the original jigging rap - the head of this one always tilts up no matter how the knot is tied. I prefer the jigging rap because you can tilt the head up or down, or keep it level based on how you position the knot, and this does affect the number of hits if the fish are skittish. But this is a well made lure for the right situation.

Comments: I love these jigging raps but I found that clipping off the front and rear hooks and putting on a larger treble increase my hook ups.

Comments: Great for walleye and perch. Wider, more buoyant body allows a slower drop than the regular jigging minnow, allowing for more control.

Comments: Gave this lure a test for Lake trout just before ice-out. With the treble hook baited with a strip of perch meat I had both good sized Rainbows and Lakers hitting regularly. I like this lure!

Comments: This lure works great for Greenbay white fish

Comments: One of the best ice fishing lures out there. Love the lure! No one was catching a thing I put the shad on, boom 3 walleye on the ice. Awesome Awesome!!

Comments: Once again Rapala has offered a productive lure. This lure is deadly tipped with a minnow head through the ice.

Comments: Works well when fish are aggressive and don't mind taking bigger baits. also the taller lure allows fish to see from a greater distance. When fish are less active I would start out with the jigging rapala first however due to its more sleek design

Comments: My go to ice fishing lure size 5. tip with a minnow head on the treble

Comments: This is something that fish have not seen a lot of yet. It works for vertical jigging as you would expect but try ripping them horizontally on shallow flats while trolling around 1 to 1.5 MPH. It is a great way to trigger hits during the open water seasons.

Comments: Great ice lures

Comments: fun lure

Comments: Always have a couple of these on hand. Perfect when it gets really hot through the heat of the day and the Aussie Bass school up and hold in the thermoclines. Tip - Just make sure you have the drag set correctly as the Bass will hit hard !!!

Comments: I use this product as my go to lure for icefishing. I have caught most of my fish this year with this lure and also my biggest walleye ever which weighed 8 pounds. Great product.

Comments: This is a must-have lure on first ice. If they see it they will bite.

Comments: A must-have lure on first ice. If they see it they will hit.

Comments: This lures is more expensive in france

Comments: Caught quite a few walleyes with these thru the ice jigging.

Comments: is also good for summer for deep suspended fish

Comments: ice fishing , looks good , action's good durable , except for the split ring , they need to be quick snaps like the minnow raps , i switched out my trebles for Mustad ultrapoint kvd elite treble 2x short 1x strong size 6 ref # tg76bln

Comments: I use ice jigging rapalas in Latvia and USA 20years,perfect product.

Comments: great for jigging walleyes in deep water conditions

Comments: Perch, crappie and bluegill hit it all day long. I just wish the fish were bigger but that's not the lures fault.

Comments: The Rapala Jigging Shad Rap is an excellent bait for walleyes when coupled with live or cut bait. My only complaint is that the treble hook is just a little too small. I removed and replaced them with slightly larger hooks.

Comments: The perfect fish catching tool.

Comments: ice fishing. catch plenty of fish

Comments: Great for jigging for walleye and perch - try it tipped with a minnow head only

Comments: I use these jigs throughout the year. I have caught Walleye, Smallmouth, Largemouth and Brim ranging from 15' to 80' deep. I have never used them for ice fishing because our lakes don't freeze here in North Carolina but they work great on suspending fish.

Comments: Jigging for bass in the cold winter months. Bouncing off the bottom.

Comments: Bought this for up coming ice fishing season but couldnt resist trying it before then. Worked for yellow perch, crappie and bluegill

Comments: works well fishing docks for kelp bass and other saltwater species

Comments: I use the Shad Rap to jig while ice fishing. My flasher clearly shows that fish will come up from the bottom a long way to check out the Rap. Splake and landlocks don't hesitate to slam it. Somedays the perch require a live grub or two on the treble hooks to get them to bite. It attracts fish from a long ways away and holds them well once they bite.
