Living in the shadow world between life and death, theRapala Shadow Rapcombines 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 fishs strike zone.

Internally, the Rapala Shadow Rap is equipped with a fixed weighting system, which works like a minnows 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 deaths door with an expiring presentation that perfectly captures the subtleties of a dying baitfish as it fades into the shadows.
