Since its founding in 1936, Rapala stands for innovation and quality in fishing tackle. Nowadays, the name is deeply rooted and known to every angler, far beyond “only” spin fishing. The invention of the “wobbler” by Lauri Rapala was a long time ago and much has happened since then. Today, the brand trumps with superior know-how especially in lure design, combining traditional values in craftsmanship with state-of-the-art technologies and uncompromising quality control. Because Rapala lures are still hand-tuned and tank-tested before packaging to assure your lure has the Rapala trademark swimming action.
The Shadow Rap was specifically designed to perfectly mimic a wounded “Minnow” that is about to die. The fish’s key stimulus is triggered especially in two ways: By an aggressive retrieve or with hard rod twitches into the loose line, then the lure turns around and faces the predator so that it can perfectly grab it from the side. Especially pike hardly ever grab their prey from behind, but always from the side. During longer pauses, it will slowly sink headfirst and staggers like a dying fish. To stay longer on the prospecting area, animate it with small twitches via your rod tip.
