The Rapala Jointed Shad Rap takes the famous Rapala wounded baitfish action to the next level with a jointed construction. The jointed body slashes side to side to produce a wider swimming pattern and a loud rhythmic rattle. The Jointed Shad Rap will suspend when the retrieve is paused, enticing wary fish to take advantage of an easy meal. Like any other Rapala product, the Jointed Shad Rap comes fitted with quality VMC black nickel treble hooks and is hand-tuned and tank-tested to swim with perfection straight out of the box.
