Rapala Super Shadow Rap Glide 16cm 86g Scaled Roach

Rapala Super Shadow Rap Glide 16cm – Adaptable Glidebait with Depth Control

This jointed swimbait combines a mesmerizing S-pattern action with adjustable running depth, giving you unprecedented control when targeting pike and other predators.

Life-Like Swimming Action That Triggers Strikes

The Super Shadow Rap Glide produces a slow, hypnotic S-pattern on steady retrieves. Add short twitches and the lure responds with tight turns, perfectly imitating a wounded baitfish. The Scaled Roach finish enhances this realism with natural colour tones that work in clear to moderately stained water.

Screw Diver System for Precise Depth Adjustment

The revolutionary Screw Diver System lets you fine-tune the lure's sink rate using interchangeable tungsten weights (10g weight included on this 16cm version). Simply screw the weight on or off to adapt to changing conditions—no re-rigging required. Additional SDS weights are available separately.

Choose the Right Variant

The Super Shadow Rap Glide comes in two sizes and multiple colour patterns to match local forage and water conditions:

• 11cm / 45g – Suited for medium tackle, smaller pike, and pressured waters; hook: 2 × #2 (VMC 8651 BN)

• 16cm / 86g – Scaled Roach – The larger profile and sinking action excel in deeper lakes, rivers, and when targeting trophy pike; hook: 2 × #2/0 (VMC 4551 BN)

• Bright patterns (Fire Tiger, Halloween, Lava Roach) – High-visibility options for murky water or low-light conditions

• Natural patterns (Live Pike, Live Roach, Live Trout, Smelt On the Beach, Blue Ghost, Scaled Roach) – Ideal for clear water and finicky fish
