Shadow Rap Shad first impressions

Featured Replies

I picked one of these up today, in the deep version, and I did so for a few reasons....

> I liked the broadness of the body shape.

> I liked how thin it was

> I liked how flat the sides were

> I liked the reflectiveness of the finish. 

So overall, I liked that it was a deeper swimming, tight wobbling, shad-shaped crank, that can be paused and jerked, and give off a good amount of flash.   A combination of qualities that I do not have in a hard bait.   Worth a try.

I like the profile and they come in some nice colors. Mine floats up very quickly though, which I don't like. I've caught twice as many fish with it as I did in all my trips with the Shadow Rap (2 instead of 1). It did account for one of the 3 biggest fish I caught that day, but after 2-3 solid hours of fishing nothing else, I switched to a different jerkbait and started lighting them up, so they didn't like something about it that day.

I'll add a suspend dot or two to slow the float or maybe some heavier hooks. All in all, I think it will be a fish catcher and I liked it much better than the Shadow Rap.
