Rapala Ultra Light Shad 4cm 1.2–1.5m 3g Glass Amber Tiger UV

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

The Rapala Ultra Light Shad is a compact 4cm, 3g hard bait built for light spinning, delivering a tight, aggressive swimming action that triggers strikes from even pressured predators in clear, shallow water.

Tight Action That Provokes Reaction Bites

Despite its small profile, the Ultra Light Shad runs with an intense, close-wobbling action that mimics a fleeing fry perfectly. The long bill digs the lure down to 1.2–1.5m with precision, keeping it in the strike zone throughout the retrieve — ideal for perch hunting along weed edges or trout working a current seam.

Weighted Body for Distance and Versatility

The ballasted body loads the cast efficiently, allowing accurate, long throws even with light spinning or ultralight gear. On a spinning stop, the lure transitions to a slow sink — a deadly pause-and-drop that can be exploited with twitching and jerking techniques to draw hesitant fish into committing.

Choose the Right Variant

All variants share the same 4cm body, 3g weight, size 10 hook, and 1.2–1.5m running depth. Colour is the key differentiator — match it to water clarity, light conditions, and target species:

• Glass Amber Tiger UV — UV-reactive amber and tiger pattern; excellent in stained or low-light water for perch and trout

• Gold Fluorescent Red — high-contrast attractor colour for murky conditions or aggressive fish

• Chrome — classic mirror finish; versatile in clear water and bright light

• Gold — warm-toned reflective; effective in low-light or overcast sessions

• Carbon — dark, subtle silhouette for pressured fish in clear, bright conditions

• Rainbow Trout — realistic baitfish imitation; great for trout in clear streams

• Brown Trout — natural earth tones; ideal for rivers with stony, tannin-stained water

• Firetiger — high-visibility chartreuse and orange; a proven attractor in coloured water

• Glass Dot Ayu UV — UV-enhanced ayu pattern; effective for finicky fish in clear to slightly coloured water

• Silver Blue — cool, shad-like finish; strong choice for clear lake fishing in bright conditions
