Rapala X-Rap Twitchin Shad 8cm 13g 0.3–0.6m ROL

Rapala X-Rap Twitchin' Shad – Subsurface Walk-the-Dog Action for Predators

This slow-sinking twitch bait produces a wide, erratic walk-the-dog action just below the surface, triggering aggressive strikes from pike, perch, and zander lurking in ambush.

Targets Fish in Hard-to-Reach Spots

The controlled slow-sinking design lets you glide the Twitchin' Shad into weed pockets, shallow depressions, and other tight cover where predators wait to ambush prey. Work it with short twitches to keep it dancing enticingly in the strike zone.

Premium Build for Confident Fishing

The translucent X-style body and holographic 3D eyes create lifelike flash and appeal. Two VMC Black Nickel round bend treble hooks ensure solid hook-ups, while the balanced 13 g weight delivers excellent casting distance even in windy conditions.
