Rapala Ultra Light Shad 4cm 1.2–1.5m 3g Carbon

Rapala Ultra Light Shad 4cm — Deadly Precision for Predator Fishing in Carbon

The Rapala Ultra Light Shad is a compact, weighted wobbler designed for long, accurate casts and a tight, aggressive action that triggers strikes from trout, perch, and other predators. The Carbon colorway offers a subtle, dark profile that works exceptionally well in clear or lightly stained water.

Cast Further, Fish Deeper

The weighted body transfers energy efficiently, allowing even ultralight tackle to reach fish-holding spots far from the bank. Once in the strike zone, the long bill dives the lure to 1.2–1.5m, keeping it running just above weed edges, rocky shelves, and other structure where predators ambush prey.

Versatile Action — Steady Retrieve or Twitch and Jerk

The long bill doesn't just provide depth — it makes the Ultra Light Shad highly responsive to rod tip input. Work it with sharp twitches or jerks to trigger reaction bites, or simply wind it steadily and let the tight, aggressive wobble do the work. When you pause the retrieve, the lure sinks slowly, mimicking a stunned baitfish and giving hesitant fish a second chance to commit.

Choose the Right Variant

Every variant shares the same 4cm body, 3g weight, slow-sinking action, 1.2–1.5m running depth, and size 10 hooks. Color is the key differentiator — match it to light conditions, water clarity, and target species:

• Carbon — dark, natural profile; clear water, bright days, cautious trout and perch

• Chrome — high flash; overcast or low-light conditions, open water perch

• Gold Fluorescent Red — strong contrast; coloured or murky water, triggering reaction strikes

• Gold — warm flash; deeper light, mixed predator fishing

• Firetiger — bold pattern; aggressive fish, stained water, pike and perch

• Glass Dot Ayu UV — UV-active; low light, dawn and dusk, trout and perch

• Silver Blue — cool flash; open water, clear conditions, trout and asp

• Brown Trout — realistic baitfish imitation; trout waters, pressured fish

• Rainbow Trout — lifelike pattern; still and slow-moving waters, trout

• Glass Amber Tiger UV — UV-active warm tones; coloured water, perch and trout
