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

Rapala Shadow Rap Solid Shad — Compact Crankbait That Reaches the Strike Zone

The Rapala Shadow Rap Solid Shad is a hard-bodied, 5 cm (2 in) crankbait weighing 5.5 g, designed for spinning anglers who want precise depth control and a convincing baitfish profile in a pocket-sized package.

A Body Shape Built for Distance and Action

The elongated shad profile and internal weight distribution deliver a long, controlled cast even in crosswinds. Once in the water, the hard-kicking swimming action mimics a fleeing or injured baitfish — exactly the trigger that pushes predators into an aggressive strike.

Dialled-In Running Depth for the Middle Column

With a running depth of 0.9–1.2 m, the Shadow Rap Solid Shad stays in the productive mid-water zone without constantly snagging bottom. It is an effective choice for working over submerged weed edges, rocky shelves, and drop-offs where perch, trout, asp, and other predators hold in ambush. Two size-10 treble hooks (on most variants) ensure a reliable hook-up on short strikes.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 5 cm body, 5.5 g weight, and 0.9–1.2 m running depth. Colour is the key difference — pick a shade that matches local baitfish or water clarity.
