Rapala Shallow Shad Rap 7cm Shad

Rapala Shallow Shad Rap lure 7 cm 7 g Shad

The shallow-running balsa wood lure Rapala Shallow Shad Rap is specifically engineered for targeting predators holding in shallow bays and above dense weed beds. Featuring a specialized broken-back style shallow lip, it preserves the legendary Rapala wobble even at snail-pace retrieves, making it lethal for cold water spinning. With its natural baitfish profile in the proven Shad pattern and an operating depth of 1.2 to 1.8 meters, it consistently tempts pike, zander, and large perch.
