Description

The Shad Rap® Elite is built around the features of the popular and proven original Shad Rap. The Elite structure consists of premium balsa wood, a profile of a natural shad baitfish, and the swimming action of a wounded minnow. Equally effective cast or trolled, performing from ultra-slow presentation to super fast without fail. Slightly heavier for their size which means longer casts. Forged, flatten, one piece through wire construction improves durability. Premium high-def patterns with metallic gilded face, bringing the look to a totally new level.

Field Notes

A classic shad-style crankbait for covering water with a steady retrieve or trolling. The balsa body and wounded-minnow action make it a good choice when fish are feeding on baitfish in open water or around structure.

Pros

  • Natural shad profile and proven baitfish action
  • Works well cast or trolled
  • Premium balsa construction with durable through-wire build

Cons

  • Treble hooks and hard body can snag in cover
  • Best suited to moving presentations rather than finesse
