Shadow Rap Shad

I broke down and bought one, going to go throw it tomorrow. It's too early in the year to truly test whether or not it'll get any bites but I'll at least get to play with the action.

went to dicks.. on their website it said they had them in stock but there was nothing there. I'm starting to consider these frost colors.

I broke down and bought one at the classic expo and fished it Sunday. It's a nice looking bait with pretty good action in the water. I fished it pretty hard for 2 hours and caught a grand total of 2 fish on it, which is 1 more than I ever caught on my Shadow Raps so hey that's an improvement. Once I switched to a different bait I wore them out though, so they were eating a jerkbait, but not the Shadow Rap Shad. In it's defense, it did catch one of the 3 biggest fish I caught that day.

My biggest complaint, it says it's a slow floater, IMO it should be just a floater because the thing shoots back to the surface at a pretty fast pace, fast enough it's head pops out of the water like a submarine because it floats face up. Nothing a couple suspend dots or heavier hooks can't fix, just a little fyi for anyone thinking about buying it.

That's disappointing, I just picked up a couple last week. I'll report my experience after fishing the lure.

I just fished the Shadow Rap Shad yesterday in 41F water and didn't have that issue... Mine slow floated head up as advertised. I even counted that it took the bait ~3 sec for it to change from a head down profile (while swimming) to a head up profile (while paused).
