Rapala® X-Rap® Shallow Shad

Not your average crankbait. This long-casting, suspending and rattling bait cuts hard and darts aggressively while maintaining Rapala's classic swimming action. This Shallow Model will dive from 2 to 7 feet. Textured translucent body, prominent scales and lateral line capture and reflect light. Internal weight-transfer system for casting distance. Flash foil teaser tail. Pyramid point hooks penetrate tough-mouthed fish and hold fast. Per each. Sizes: 6 (2-1/2", 5/16 oz.) 8 (3-1/8", 1/2 oz.) Colors: (001)Silver, (002)Gold, (017)Perch, (021)Firetiger, (392)Silver Blue, (402)Clown, (552)Hot Head, (556)Glass Ghost, (558)Olive Green.

Brittle lips, October 7, 2009
By krispyGlake from Frozen Tundra,WI

"I had 2 cast in this and the lip disconnected from the body from water impact. I thought is was just that one but it happened on the next one after about 10 cast. Again, this is on the new L shaped lips. The smaller xraps are awsome."

Good Bass Lure, Not durable..., August 8, 2009
By GreenLakeKayak from Green Lake, WI

"This lure works great if you're just working the shallows and catching bass, however if you get anything bigger on the lure it will probably break. I somehow got a carp on it that was only about 10lbs maybe, and it managed to completely pull out the rear hook eyelet. I had only used the lure for 2 days prior and had not abused it in any way.

I've switched to the regular X-Rap, but I've had a similar problem of pulling out the rear hook eyelet with the #8 size after only 1-2 days as well (again with no irregular abuse). Hopefully the #10 is a little more heavy duty.

Overall a great lure IF you're in waters that only have bass, otherwise stick to something more durable. I know I won't be buying any more x-raps after experiencing this problem with multiple lures and normal usage."
