Description

The Rapala Shad Rap Elite SRE55 is a 5.5 cm, 7 g balsa floating crankbait that runs 2.4–2.7 m and is fitted with two No. 8 hooks. Built with Rapala's premium balsa, it's designed to handle a straight retrieve, twitch, or jerk with a stable flight posture and roughly 20% longer casting distance than the earlier SR7.

Its slow-rising action keeps the lure enticing on the pause, and Rapala packages the Shad Rap Elite range in eco-conscious packaging.

Information

The swimming action

The Shad Rap Elite uses Rapala's premium balsa and a stable, aerodynamic flight to cast roughly 20% further than the earlier SR7, then settles into the same tight, natural crank wobble on the retrieve.

When to throw it

A shallow-to-mid running search bait for bass over open water, flats and structure, useful whenever extra casting distance helps cover more water per cast.

How to work it

Fish it on a straight retrieve, twitch or jerk; the slow-rising action on the pause keeps it in the strike zone and holds a fish's interest between casts.

The setup it likes

A 6'6"-7' M baitcasting rod, a baitcaster around 6.3:1-7.1:1, 10-12 lb fluorocarbon and no wire leader suit this family.
