Rapala X-Rap


large picture of part When Rapala introduced the X-Rap they not only brought a great new bait to the fishing community, they introduced an entire fishing system. The versatility of the X-Rap allows an angler to impart a number of fish catching actions in a single retrieve. The X- Rap triggers strikes when other baits fall short. Rapala matched the X-Rap with incredible color schemes and finishes that reflect light like baitfish found all across the country.
The X-Rap casts like a bullet, allowing you to make long casts. One tip from the Rapala Pro-Staff is to fish the X-Rap on braided line for those long cast situations. The fireline crystal works great for clear water situations when fish are spooky. Braided line will allow you to get maximum action and hook setting power when making long casts.
Comes in five sizes and 15 colors

Features include:
Slashbait Action
Suspending on Pause
Textured Translucent Body
Internal Holographic Foil
3D Holographic Eyes
Internal Long-Cast System (XR04 excluded)
Stainless Steel Through Wire Construction
VMC® Black Nickel Hooks

Rapala Shadow Rap

Shimmy Seductively While Suspending

large picture of part The new Shadow Rap and Shadow Rap Deep are suspending jerkbaits that combine a horizontal struggle and vertical fade to mimic a dying minnow’s final moments — an action designed to trick fish into moving in to strike on an easy meal.
When paused with a slack line, the bait delivers a unique presentation, quivering and shimmying from side to side, replicating a barely alive minnow.
Most jerkbaits follow a forward trajectory with each twitch of the rod. The Shadow Rap’s action stands out. It darts side-to-side, rotates with the right jerk, and even moves vertically. The bait triggers bites on its initial kick, attention-grabbing snap back to live and on its slow-fading fall making it an ultra versatile option – especially in cold waters.
Featuring a minnow body profile, flat sides and metallic finish with textured scales, the Shadow Rap is designed to target bass and other gamefish in two-to-four feet of water. The Shadow Rap Deep targets fish in four-to-eight feet. Both models come armed with three No. 6 VMC Black Nickel Round Bend Hooks and are available in 14 color patterns: Albino Shiner, Blue Back Herring, Blue Ghost, Bone, Bud, Carbon, Clown, Ghost, Ghost Shiner, Moss Back Shiner, Olive Green, Purpledescent, Silver and Yellow Perch. Each measures 4 3/8 inches and weighs 7/16 of an ounce.
Comes in 14 colors

Rapala Shadow Rap Jerkbait


large picture of part Living in the shadow world between life and death, the Rapala Shadow Rap combines both the vertical and horizontal struggles that a minnow exhibits when its life hangs in the balance. Sculpted with flat-sides, the Rapala Shadow Rap delivers an erratic darting action with minimal forward movement, so it can maintain the dance of death within a fish’s strike zone.
Internally, the Rapala Shadow Rap is equipped with a fixed weighting system, which works like a minnow’s swim bladder, allowing it to sink with a slow-falling quiver – just like a dying baitfish. As it fades into the depths, the Rapala Shadow Rap snaps back to life with a flickering lunge that causes fish to come absolutely unglued.
Armed with a trio of razor-sharp VMC trebles, the Rapala Shadow Rap knocks on death’s door with an expiring presentation that perfectly captures the subtleties of a dying baitfish as it fades into the “shadows."
Comes in 14 colors

Features include:
Swims with a horizontal struggle and vertical fade
Mimics a minnow in distress
Triggers strikes in three ways: on the kick, on a slow fall, and on the snap
Textured body with realistic scale details
X-Rap style finish
Sharp left and right turns
Slow sinking action on pauses
VMC® Black Nickel Round Bend Hooks Length: 4 3/8 in.
Weight: 7/16 oz.
Running Depth: 2-4 ft

Rapala Shadow Rap Deep


large picture of part Built to perfectly “shadow” the natural movements of a dying baitfish, the Rapala Shadow Rap Deep allows anglers to utilize the erratic attraction of the Shadow Rap in a slightly deeper arena. Designed with flat sides and a larger bill, the Rapala Shadow Rap Deep shimmies and flickers on a horizontal plane with very little forward movement, prolonging the time spent in a fish’s strike zone.
On the inside, the Rapala Shadow Rap Deep is constructed with a fixed weighting system that acts like a minnow’s swim bladder, causing it to sink with a mouthwatering shimmy. As it fades into the darkness, a sharp snap of the rod tip brings the Rapala Shadow Rap Deep back to life with a bursting flutter that causes fish to strike out of sheer impulse.
Armed with a trio of razor-sharp VMC trebles, the Rapala Shadow Rap Deep knocks on death’s door with an expiring presentation that perfectly captures the subtleties of a dying baitfish as it fades into the “shadows.”
Comes in 14 colors

large picture of part The Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Deep combines Rapala’s classic balsa body with an elongated version of the revolutionary Scatter Lip to create the ultimate tool for exploring deeper waters.

Rapala Shallow Scatter Rap Crankp


large picture of part Attack shallow water like never before with the Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Shallow – a light-diving version of the revolutionary Rapala Scatter Rap Crank, meant for targeting fish in 4-5 feet of water.
Fitted with a stunted version of the Scatter Lip, the Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Shallow delivers an erratic sweeping action that perfectly imitates a spooked baitfish fleeing from attack. This evasive maneuvering draws vicious reaction strikes and can be manipulated simply by varying your retrieve speed from slow to fast.
Built using Rapala’s iconic crank body, the Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Shallow features a buoyant, non-rattling, balsa wood construction that makes it even easier to fish in ultra-shallow water. Armed with two sticky-sharp VMC trebles, the Rapala Scatter Rap Crank Shallow allows anglers to utilize the patent-pending Scatter Lip Action in an even broader range of conditions – so bass can run, but now they have nowhere to hide.
