I saw an add on these things on T.V and had to get some.  If you havent seen them check them out here http://www.rapala.com/how2tv/.  I love the X-Rap and the Shad Rap and this lure is basically a cross between the two.  It has a tight wobble and shad profile, like the Shap Rap, but can be twitched and suspends, like the X-Rap.  Cant wait to get out and try them.  If anyones used them yet let me know how you like them.

i bought one at dicks and i havent used it yet but it is super sexy. i cant wait to finally tie that bad boy on and fish it. i think it will do well.

Been around for some time.

Good on lakes this time of year.

If you read any articles about fishing now the writer will probably suggest using one or the other.

Fish so they look like an injured baitfish.

I got four of them since they look soo cool.I have yet to haul anything to the boat except buckets of water.

Me and jerkbaits dont get along though.I am sure it is a good lure.

I've had a couple #6 for months, but ice has prevented me from trying them.

I have several, and they were killer on the smallies last year.  My favorite application for them is when I know smallies (or largies for that matter) are in an area but are either too deep to commit to shallow jerkbait, or aren't active enough to swim up 10 feet to hit a shallow jerkbait.  In that case I'll change from a normal X-Rap or LC Pointer to an X-Shad, and fish it the same way - just like a jerkbait.  You can also use them as a crankbait, but I tend to stay away from heavy cover with these lures because they suspend.  My favorite color for smallies is white with a hot pink back  :-*

I bought several of these last year with high hopes but it has yet to be a good producer for me.  I have caught a few fish but nothing spectacular.  I have actually caught several crappie with these things.  I have done better with the shad raps, fat glass raps and the regular DT's.
