RAPALA X-RAP JOINTED SHAD
|
The exaggerated action of the jointed body allows a slower retrieve to trigger sluggish or finicky fish. Near neutral buoyancy, with a slight rise, provides a very natural "wounded-minnow" action. Combine it with the X-Rap finish, and no fish is safe. How To Fish The wild action works great on a steady retrieve, slow and fast, but near neutral buoyancy allows a wide variety of presentations. Use a slow stop & go retrieve to attract cold water predators using very long stops if the bite is slow. You can enhance bite detection by sweeping your rod to the side and then – while letting the lure rest still – bringing the rod slowly back to pointing towards the lure. Retrieve slowly as you bring the rod back forward, just keeping a slight tension on the line but not moving the lure to feel even the slightest bumps and shyest bites. For a more aggressive approach, reel in faster and use a stop & go retrieve where you jerk the lure with the rod just before a short stop. The jerk followed by a stop will turn the lure sideways and make it an easy target for the predators. |
