Rapala Shallow Shad Rap lure 7 cm 7 g Firetiger
The shallow-running balsa wood lure Rapala Shallow Shad Rap in the striking Firetiger pattern is purpose-built for tackling weedy flats, shallow shorelines, and stained water conditions. Equipped with a specialized broken-back lip, it displays a vibrant rolling action even on ultra-slow retrieves, making it exceptionally deadly for cold water spinning. Working efficiently at depths of 1.2 to 1.8 meters, its high-visibility profile triggers aggressive territorial reaction strikes from pike, zander, and big perch.
