Rapala Shadow Rap Fat Jack 4cm 3m 4g

Rapala Shadow Rap Fat Jack 4 cm — Slow-rising crankbait that imitates a dying baitfish at 3 m depth

The Shadow Rap Fat Jack is a compact, long-casting crankbait designed for slow, steady retrieves that trigger wary predators. Its signature slow-rising pause action mimics the last moments of a dying fish — one of the most irresistible triggers in freshwater fishing.

Dying-fish action that predators can't ignore

On a steady retrieve the Fat Jack dives quickly to 3 m, then on each pause it rises back up with an almost agonisingly slow, lifelike ascent. This slow-rising (floating) behaviour replicates a weakened baitfish losing control, drawing reaction strikes from trout and other predators that might ignore a more aggressive presentation.

Internal glass-bead rattle for added attraction

Two internal glass beads produce a subtle, natural rattle as the lure moves. Unlike loud, metallic rattles, the glass-bead sound is softer and more realistic — ideal for clear water and pressured fish that have seen plenty of louder lures.

Choose the right variant

All Shadow Rap Fat Jack 4 cm variants share the same body (plastic, 4 cm, 4 g), running depth (3 m), slow-rising action, glass-bead rattle and twin #10 (7548 BN) treble hooks — making colour the key decision:

• BLL — dark contrast pattern; effective in low-light or stained water

• ROL — natural roach/olive; a versatile all-round choice in clear rivers

• GHS — ghost/shad style; pairs well with open, clear lakes

• BG — blue/ghost; good in bright conditions on clear stillwaters

• P — perch pattern; matches the hatch in waters holding perch prey

• AS — ayu/silver; classic baitfish imitation, strong in varied conditions

• MBLU — metallic blue; high-visibility option for deeper or murky reaches

• GGIU — gold/green; warm-toned, works well in coloured or tannic water

• HAY — hay/natural; subtle earth tones for heavily pressured clear venues

• Current variant (no colour specified) — glass-bead rattle, 3 m running depth, slow-rising action, 4 cm / 4 g
