The Shadow Rap® fuses sideways thrashing with a slow vertical fade to convincingly imitate a struggling minnow. Rapala has tuned this jerkbait to produce bites three different ways: on the initial kick, during its slow sinking fall, and on the sudden snap back to life. Many jerkbaits keep moving forward with each twitch; the Shadow Rap® does not. It kicks nearly 180 degrees to the right, then left, so you can work it almost in place with minimal forward travel, holding the fluttering fade inside a fish's strike zone. That's when strikes become most likely. 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 dying minnow. SLACK LINE LOOK BACK - After a sharp snap and generous slack line, it will actually spin around and look backwards.
