Rapala Ultra Light Shad 4cm 1.2–1.5m 3g Gold Fluorescent Red

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

The Rapala Ultra Light Shad is a finely tuned 4cm, 3g hard bait designed to tempt even the most selective predators in clear, pressured water. In Gold Fluorescent Red, it combines a fish-triggering warm tone with high-visibility flash — a standout choice when light is low or water carries a touch of colour.

Tight, Aggressive Action That Triggers Strikes

The long bill drives the Ultra Light Shad into a narrow, highly agitated wobble that mimics a distressed small baitfish convincingly. The action holds at slow retrieves, making it effective when fish are lethargic or holding tight to structure. During a retrieve pause, the lure transitions to a slow sink — an irresistible moment for following perch and trout to commit.

Weighted Body for Cast Distance and Control

Despite its compact 4cm frame, the weighted body loads a light spinning or ultralight rod effectively, delivering long, accurate casts to rising fish, undercut banks, or tight cover. At 3g, it sits comfortably within the range of rods rated down to 1–5g, and the long bill also enables twitching and jerking techniques for a more reactive presentation.

Choose the Right Variant

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

• Gold Fluorescent Red — warm attractor colour; low-light sessions, stained water, perch and trout

• Gold — classic metallic flash; bright conditions, clear water, all-round predator use

• Chrome — maximum flash; sunny days, deep clear water, perch and chub

• Carbon — dark, subtle silhouette; ultra-clear water, post-frontal conditions, cautious trout

• Rainbow Trout — natural baitfish pattern; match-the-hatch for trout in chalk streams and reservoirs

• Brown Trout — earth-tone natural finish; river trout, shaded beats, autumn sessions

• Silver Blue — cool-toned flash; overcast days, slightly coloured water, perch

• Firetiger — high-contrast chartreuse/orange; murky water, aggressive perch, zander at dusk

• Glass Dot Ayu UV — UV-active translucent pattern; low-visibility conditions, deep shade, trout

• Glass Amber Tiger UV — UV-active warm-tone pattern; coloured water, evening fishing, perch and asp
