Quick take
A 16 cm floating jerkbait with a tall body and tight, responsive action for twitching or ripping in front of large predators.
The Rapala Super Shadow Rap in the Scaled Roach finish is a 16 cm jerkbait that weighs about 2.7 ounces and runs to a depth of about 4.6 feet. Two No. 3/0 hooks are fitted to its tall body, which suits anglers casting for large predator fish. The scaled roach pattern gives it a natural baitfish look.
Best for
- Northern pike and musky in moderate depths
- Twitching on tight line for reaction strikes
- Fishing in clear to stained water
Skip if
- You are fishing in very shallow water under 1 meter
- You need a slow-sinking or suspending lure
Strengths
- Tall body mimics large baitfish silhouette
- Responsive tight-turning action on the twitch
- Works on gentle twitch or aggressive rip
Trade-offs
- Only floats or dives 1-1.4 m; does not go deep

About this type
A lure is an artificial bait that draws a strike with its shape, color and movement.
Each kind is built for certain depths and ways of fishing.
Weight decides how far a lure casts and what rod and line it needs; color changes how visible it is in the water.
