Quick take
A compact jigging rap with 3D eyes and internal rattle for vertical jigging and casting.
The Shadow Rap in size 11 is a slow-sinking jerkbait about 4 3/8 inches long and 7/16 ounce. It sinks slowly and runs down to roughly four feet, turning side to side before a slow fall on each pause. The Blue Ghost finish suits anglers working it for bass and other gamefish on spinning gear.
