Quick take
An 11 cm subsurface jerkbait with deep-diving action on a jerk-and-pause retrieve for panfish and smallmouth bass.
The Olive Green Shadow Rap Deep 11 is a slow-sinking jerkbait about 4.3 inches long and roughly 0.46 ounce in weight. On a pause its head tilts down and it flickers as it fades, which suits twitch-and-pause retrieves through the mid-water column. Its olive green finish gives it a natural look for panfish and other fish that feed on small baitfish.
Best for
- Panfish and bass in lakes and reservoirs
- Anglers who fish jerkbait techniques
- Situations where a darting, suspended presentation works
Skip if

- You prefer steady retrieves to jerk-and-pause
Strengths
