The Rapala Shadow Rap® Deep SDRD11 GON is a 4-3/8″ (11cm), 7/16 oz slow-sinking jerkbait built to dive 4–8 feet and stay in the strike zone longer. Unlike standard jerkbaits, it kicks almost 180° side-to-side with minimal forward movement, perfectly mimicking a dying baitfish. On the pause, it slowly fades with a head-down attitude, then spins around on slack line to look back at predators—triggering strikes three ways: on the kick, on the fall, and on the snap back to life. Outfitted with three premium VMC® black nickel trebles, the Shadow Rap® Deep is a deadly choice for bass, walleye, and other gamefish holding deeper.
