Rapala Shadow Rap Solid Shad Crankbaits 5cm 5.5g 0.9–1.2m WK

Rapala Shadow Rap Solid Shad – Compact Sinking Crankbait for Trout and Perch

The Shadow Rap Solid Shad combines aerodynamic precision with a dense, fast-sinking body to reach productive depths quickly and stay in the strike zone throughout the retrieve.

Long, Accurate Casts in Any Condition

Aerodynamic shaping and optimal weight distribution allow you to place this 5 cm crankbait exactly where you need it—even when casting into wind or working tight spots along structure. The solid plastic construction adds durability without sacrificing action.

Hard-Kicking Action That Triggers Strikes

A pronounced side-to-side swimming motion produces intense lateral flash, drawing reaction bites from trout, perch, and other small predators. The through-wire design and VMC 7548 Black Nickel treble hooks (size 10) provide reliable hooksets and lasting strength.

Choose the Right Variant

The Shadow Rap Solid Shad 5 cm is available in multiple colour patterns to match conditions and forage:

• WK: Classic baitfish pattern with internal flash foil for bright, reflective appeal in clear to moderately stained water

• Oikawa / Ayu / Yamame: Realistic Asian baitfish imitations for pressured trout

• Gold Shad / Green Shad / Red Belly Shad: Natural shad profiles for varying light and water clarity
