Description

The Rapala Shad Rap Style Minnow is still one of the most popular lures around. Whether twitched on the top as a surface bait, retrieved as a shallow runner, weighted with a split-shot for medium-depth swimming, or bottom walked off a sinker rig, the Floating Minnow's wounded minnow action continues to be irresistible to game fish.

Field Notes

Use a twitch-and-retrieve to trigger the wounded minnow action on the surface or shallow water. If you want more depth, retrieve it as a shallow runner or add a split-shot to swim at medium depth; it can also be bottom-walked off a sinker rig for a wounded, bottom-oriented presentation.

Pros

  • Wounded minnow action that works with twitching or steady retrieves
  • Can be fished on the surface, shallow, or deeper with added weight
  • Versatile for multiple retrieval styles (twitch, shallow runner, bottom walk)

Cons

  • Depth control requires adding weight (e.g., split-shot/sinker rig) for medium or bottom presentations
