Yes. The lure is designed for both casting and trolling, and its action changes from a broader wobble to a tighter shimmy depending on retrieve speed.
The Shad Rap Elite is a floating lure. That makes it useful when you want a crankbait that rises on pauses and can be worked over structure with control.

The Rapala Shad Rap Elite is a floating wobbler for casting and trolling, built for anglers who want the lively feel of balsa with more casting range and durability. Its natural baitfish profile and responsive swimming action make it a versatile choice for perch, pike, zander, and other predatory fish.
The body uses balsa for quick response and a lively action, while the through-wire construction adds extra strength. This combination helps the lure keep the classic Shad Rap character while standing up to repeated use.
Depending on retrieve speed, the lure works from a wider wobble to a tighter shimmy. That gives you flexibility when you want to cover water on the cast or present the lure steadily while trolling.
The long-casting construction helps you reach fish at range, and the VMC 7554 2X Black Nickel treble hooks are made for secure hook penetration. Hand-tuned and tank-tested finishing adds confidence before the lure reaches the water.
This series is well suited to freshwater predator fishing where a floating crankbait with a natural baitfish profile is useful. The available sizes let you match the lure more closely to prey size and target species.
Variants differ mainly by size, weight, running depth, hook size, and colour pattern. Choose the smaller 5.5 cm model for a more compact presentation, or the 7.5 cm model when you want a larger profile and slightly deeper running depth.
