Choose 5.5 cm/7 g for the smaller baitfish profile and size #8 hooks, or 7.5 cm/12 g for a larger profile and size #6 hooks. Listed depths are 2.7 m and 3.3 m respectively, with ranges of 2.4–2.7 m for the smaller Gilded Gold Orange and 2.7–3.3 m for the larger Gilded Gold Orange and Gilded Crawdad. Choose by the profile and working depth you need, then match your tackle to 7 g or 12 g.
Yes, the Shad Rap Elite is designed for both casting and trolling. Its action ranges from a wide wobble to a tight shimmy as retrieve speed changes, letting you vary the presentation with speed. It is floating, not a sinking lure, even though it dives while being retrieved.
You receive one lure in your selected colour, fitted with VMC® 7554 2X Black Nickel treble hooks with Needle Point® tips. It is not a mixed-colour kit. Select each required size and finish separately, and handle the mounted sharp hooks with care.
Check the hooks, body and connections before fishing and do not use a damaged lure. The sharp trebles require careful handling with pliers. A separate, securely closed, dry tackle box prevents tangles and accidental hook contact and helps prevent hook rust, so keep the lure contained during transport and away from children.

The Rapala Shad Rap Elite is a floating balsa crankbait with a natural baitfish profile for casting and trolling, including perch and pike fishing. Its action changes with retrieve speed, from a wide wobble to a tight shimmy, so you can vary the presentation without changing lures.
The premium balsa body combines a long-casting design with heavy-duty, through-wire construction for casting distance and durability. The lure is lead-free, hand-tuned and tank-tested. It comes fitted with VMC® 7554 2X Black Nickel treble hooks from the 75’ Series, with extra-sharp Needle Point® tips designed for landing large, strong fish.
The smaller versions present a 5.5 cm profile at 7 g and carry size #8 hooks. The larger versions have a 7.5 cm profile, weigh 12 g and carry size #6 hooks. Choose the smaller profile when you want a smaller baitfish imitation, or the larger version for a larger profile and a deeper listed running depth. Match your tackle to the chosen lure weight.
| Version | Weight | Hook size | Running depth | | :--- | :--- | :--- | :--- | | 5.5 cm | 7 g | #8 | 2.7 m, Gilded Gold Orange 2.4–2.7 m | | 7.5 cm | 12 g | #6 | 3.3 m, Gilded Gold Orange and Gilded Crawdad 2.7–3.3 m |
Both sizes float, despite diving during retrieval. The listed depths distinguish their working levels, rather than describing sinking behaviour.
Each size is available in Gilded Perch, Gilded Copper Perch, Gilded Live Roach, Gilded Mangrove Minnow, Gilded Helsinki Shad, Gilded Silver Shad, Gilded Crawdad, Gilded Chartreuse Orange Belly, Gilded Gold Orange, Gilded Firetiger, Gilded Glass Ghost and Gilded Night Aurora. Choose the named finish alongside size and depth. One lure in the selected colour is included, not a colour assortment.
Handle the sharp trebles with pliers and keep them clear of people, clothing and pets. Check hooks, the body and connections before use, and do not fish with a damaged lure. Store it in a separate, securely closed, dry tackle box to prevent tangles, injuries and hook rust. Keep it out of children's reach and follow local fishing regulations.
