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

Rapala Ultra Light Shad 4 cm — Precision Casting for Perch and Trout

The Rapala Ultra Light Shad is a compact 4 cm, 3 g slow-sinking wobbler built for light-tackle predator fishing. Its tight, aggressive action and long bill make it equally effective on a steady retrieve or worked with twitches and jerks.

Tight Action That Triggers Strikes

The Ultra Light Shad's narrow, aggressive swimming action closely mimics a small fleeing baitfish — exactly the trigger reflex that perch and trout find hard to resist. Even at slow retrieve speeds the lure maintains its confident wobble, keeping it in the strike zone longer.

Cast Far, Fish Precisely

At just 3 g the weighted body generates surprising casting distance and accuracy for a lure this small. That means you can place it tight to structure, undercut banks, or rising fish without spooking them — a real advantage when stalking selective trout or finicky perch in clear water.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 4 cm length, 3 g weight, 1.2–1.5 m running depth, and size 10 hooks. Colour and finish are the key differentiators for matching conditions and target species.

• Firetiger — warm, high-contrast green/orange pattern; ideal for coloured or low-light water; effective on perch and chub

• Gold Fluorescent Red — bold metallic flash with red accent; low-visibility or dusk sessions; perch and trout

• Chrome — classic bright mirror finish; clear water and sunny conditions; versatile for all predators

• Gold — natural warm flash; overcast or stained water; trout and perch

• Rainbow Trout — realistic trout imitation; ideal when trout are preying on smaller trout or in mixed fisheries

• Brown Trout — natural earth tones; river fishing for trout in clear-to-moderately coloured water

• Silver Blue — cool lateral-line flash; sea trout, perch, and asp in open water or large rivers

• Glass Dot Ayu UV — translucent ayu pattern with UV accents; bright conditions or UV-rich shallow water

• Glass Amber Tiger UV — amber tiger UV finish; coloured water or early morning; perch and pike-perch

• Carbon — dark, stealthy profile; bright-light flat-calm conditions where subtlety matters
