Rapala Shadow Rap Solid Shad 5cm Ayu – Fast-Sinking Crankbait for Trout and Perch

This compact sinking crankbait reaches target depths quickly and stays in the strike zone throughout the retrieve, making it a reliable choice for stream and river fishing.

Aerodynamic Casting Performance

The Shadow Rap Solid Shad features an aerodynamic profile and balanced weight distribution that delivers long, accurate casts even in windy conditions. At 5.5 g in a 5 cm body, this lure cuts through the air and lands precisely where you need it.

Hard-Kicking Action with Maximum Flash

The aggressive swimming action produces strong side-to-side flashes that attract predators from a distance. Internal flash foil enhances the natural Ayu finish, while the through-wire construction and durable plastic body handle strikes from hard-fighting fish. VMC 7548 Black Nickel treble hooks ensure solid hookups.
