The Shadow Rap Deep combines a horizontal struggle with a vertical fade that perfectly mimics a minnow in trouble in the 4-8 foot depth range. Rapala has perfected the natural minnow action in this new jerkbait that triggers fish in three ways: on the kick, on a slow fading fall and on the snap back to life. Most jerk baits continue on a forward plane with each jerk. Not the Shadow Rap Deep. It kicks almost 180 degrees right then left, so it can be fished nearly in place with very little forward travel, keeping the flickering fade right in a fish's strike zone.
Ideal for a slow moving, yet action-packed dying minnow presentation in a little bit deeper water than the Shadow Rap. Can be fished with little forward movement, yet a lot of side to side action. With a fast twitch followed by slack line, the Shadow Rap Deep turns to look back almost 180 degrees before settling with a flicker to a fade away dying dive.
