This lure performed flawlessly. Also, the price point is spot on. Help from associates is a plus. Very friendly. Will definitely be back for more fishing accessories.

5 GettingInShape
These are fantastic. I bought my sons several of these lures this summer. They have caught many bass and finished the year with a 6 pounder. They like them so much I bought a spare pumpkinseed, just in case, for the dreaded mishap.

5 DFXBBall
This is a really great crank bait for those who like to fish actively. It has very good action, comes in some great patterns, and hook set is easy. My son and I caught a bunch of bass, and a nice channel cat, on these during our recent vacation.

Nicely balanced medium diver, easy to fish and affordable

5 AquaBueno
Yup. Hooks set themselves as hard as those little bass were striking. I like it a lot. Trolled it from my kayak.

5 Fish catcher
Purchased this bait for a bass tournament. This bait was perfect for summer time schooling bass. Hooks were strong and the bait was true right out of the package.

5 Veghead surfer
These are great lures which attract some big bass, I have personal experience. When pulled they give a thumping vibration, that's a big part of its attraction, as well as very good action for a deep jerkbait. Tough to lose one as they cost a pretty penny, but honestly if you love jerkbait fishing like I do you 'll love these lures, the shallow version are good as well.

5 Catch Release
I purchased this lure in the perch pattern. It swims straight and true right out of the box and has great action. It's a nice alternative to throwing the non- jointed Shad Rap or typical crankbait. I 'll buy more if I lose this one.

5 Lovethedrake
The color and design are what attracted me to this lure. It ’s light and is a deep diver and something I use outer to catch bass in our local small lake.

5 Mastapaine
I own several of these. Caught numerous walleye on them. Jointed action gets lots of attention and the bright color helps in deep water, or muddyish water. These are a bit more cost wise, but it's a quality item.

5 Door1839
Lure runs true and has great action. Would recommend.

5 ChadE
Not only does this jointed crankbait look great, it gives lots of movement and dives deep to get those big fish. I had great luck on this lure all summer in the mississippi River. The hooks stay sharp and are strong.

Perfect size bait for PA muskies! Easy to throw and can even be used with spinning gear.

5 Barefoot Petr
Excellent lure for striped bass in the early season. The large profile is anatomically correct for menhaden( also called bunker), and the larger size limits the number of smaller fish able to hit it.

Incredible lure right here... something about it is like the husky jerk but on steroids.. sometimes the husky jerk will out perform but when it gets down to it this monster catches big big fish for me. 43 inch 22lb northern took this and attempted to run, best fish of the year and that ’s saying something. LOVE IT. Own close to 40- 50 of them now.

5 Scuby
I purchased this a few weeks ago for spring fishing in Illinois. Love the action. I have used jerkbaits in my gear for years and this one has really produced. Great balance. Runs true with no adjustment. I like the fact that I can get this down to depth.

5
The Rapala Shadow Rap Deep is my go to jerk bait in deep water. Great price point for the quality you get.

5 DRuddon
Caught a fish within five minutes of taking it out of the package. The sinking design also helps you consistently keep contact with cover and get a few feet deeper than your average suspending jerkbait; crucial in cold water.

5 KVD
The perfect fall clear water bass bait, great color great action for a great price.

Frequently Asked Questions For Shad Rap Lures

A shad rap lure is a type of crankbait designed to mimic the movement and appearance of shad, a common baitfish. These lures are typically used for targeting predatory fish species, making them effective in various fishing environments such as lakes, rivers, and ponds. Anglers often retrieve them at different speeds and depths to entice strikes from fish.

When selecting a shad rap lure, consider features such as size, color patterns, and diving depth. The size should match the local forage fish, while color patterns can vary based on water clarity and light conditions. Additionally, the diving depth is important to ensure the lure reaches the target fish in their preferred feeding zone.

Yes, shad rap lures can be effective in all fishing seasons, but their effectiveness may vary based on the time of year and water temperature. During warmer months, fish are often more active and may respond better to these lures. In colder months, slower retrieves and deeper presentations may be necessary to entice bites.

Shad rap lures are versatile and can attract a variety of predatory fish species, including bass, pike, and walleye. Their realistic action and appearance make them particularly appealing to these fish, especially in areas where shad are a primary food source. Understanding the local fish species can help determine the best times and techniques for using these lures.

Choosing the right size of shad rap lure depends on the species of fish you are targeting and the size of the local baitfish. Generally, smaller lures are effective for panfish and smaller bass, while larger lures are better suited for bigger predatory fish like pike and walleye. It's important to match the lure size to the forage in the area for optimal success.
