Ok anyone know what the deal with this "coming soon" Shadow Rap?

These marketing guyz sure know how to prep us to spend..

I'll have to look into it.  I haven't see anything so far and I was just on the rapala site purchasing some baits last night.

Haven't seen/heard of this yet. 

It was on the inside cover of In-Fisherman last issue or the issue before.  Just said coming this February if my memory serves me correct.  

It's got a mix of the x rap and Maxx raps look to them there nice looking baits not a huge color selection was with the rapala rep and got a good look at them think the third week of Feb I'm hoping to have them sooner have the order in already well find out just how they'll fish iconelli will be fishing them in the classic that's when the release will be and retail out at 8.99

found on a cached page on tackle direct... they were trying to hide it from us

found it..

its a jerkbait ... :/ disappointing 

 

It looks like the BX Minnow but with 3 hook hangers. 

It looks like the BX Minnow but with 3 hook hangers. 

nothing special.. darnit rapala, make a large swimbait already instead of more jerkbaits

Ya I saw that too it looks like a jerkbait.. but since it may be cheap enuf may try it out

Kinda like a nordic version of the megabass

Actually more exciting than I'd hoped, good looking bait.

Yea, I like it, all except 9 hooks, lol..

Yeah that's actually gorgeous. If they make a 1/8 or 1/4 size, i'll be a buyer.

It looks to have the X-Rap lip, the Flat Rap profile and the BX-Minnow finish with the length of a Maxx Rap. I already like it!!!

Looks great. Ill have to give them a try

Please tell me this thing rolls like Flat Rap and twitches like an X Rap. 

Looks awesome!

Looks pretty good. I like the name, too. 

Interesting...I can't wait

Found this little tid bit on the old interwebs.

 

I know nothing of this bait, but I want a few....Shadow rap..has to be good, I just hope they add some new color's to the Rapala line up...I was not so happy with the new Rapala floating minnow lures as I figured I would....I was excited for a 3/4 ounce floater...But it has the action of a 3/4 floater not done right.

Totally new here, but when searching for pics of the shadow rap this site came up.  I did ask Ike on twitter if this fell between the Husky jerk and the X rap and to be honest I was stunned that I got the following reply from him. (it's something really special. It's a suspending jerk with a much more sub action. On light flora it actually sinks super slow!)

 

Sounds like a great early season and cold front bait

I will definatley have to pick a few of these up, I am a Jerkbait Junkie

Looks like they will also come in a deep version like the X Rap, I did a search on flea bay and someone is selling one
