The Rapala Shadow Rap® Deep combines a horizontal struggle with a vertical fade that perfectly mimics a minnow in trouble in the 4–8-foot depth range. Rapala has perfected the natural minnow action in this new jerkbait that triggers fish in three ways: on the kick, on a slow fading fall and on the snap back to life. Most jerk baits continue on a forward plane with each jerk. Not Rapala the Shadow Rap® Deep. It kicks almost 180 degrees right then left, so it can be fished nearly in place with very little forward travel, keeping the flickering fade right in a fish's strike zone.
