The Shadow Rap® is a revolutionary jerkbait designed to imitate the distressed movements of a minnow, offering a unique combination of horizontal struggle and vertical fading. Rapala has mastered the art of replicating the natural minnow action with this innovative lure, triggering fish in three distinct ways: during the kick, on a gradual fading descent, and upon the snap back to life. Unlike most jerkbaits that move consistently in a forward direction with each jerk, the Shadow Rap® exhibits a remarkable behavior. It performs an almost 180-degree movement to the right and then to the left, allowing it to be fished nearly in place with minimal forward travel. This ensures that the tantalizing fade of the Shadow Rap® remains right within the strike zone of fish. This is where things get truly fascinating.

IT'S ABOUT THE STRUGGLE - By executing an almost 180-degree movement to the right and left, with minimal forward motion, it remains within the fish's strike zone.

HEAD DOWN ATTITUDE - Positioned with its head down and ready to engage, the fixed weight system enables the lure to descend slowly, emulating the actions of a dying minnow.

SLACK LINE LOOK BACK - Following a sharp snap and the introduction of generous slack in the line, it can even spin around and appear to swim backward.
