The Shadow Rap® Deep combines a horizontal struggle with a vertical fade that perfectly mimics a minnow in trouble in the 4-8 foot depth range. Rapala has perfected the natural minnow action in this new jerk bait that triggers fish in three ways: on the kick, on a slow fading fall and on the snap back to life. Most jerk baits continue on a forward plane with each jerk. Not the Shadow Rap® Deep. It kicks almost 180 degrees right then left, so it can be fished nearly in place with very little forward travel, keeping the flickering fade right in a fish's strike zone.

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.
