product description

This plastic version of the legendary Shad Rap is more than just a wounded minnow. The rhythmic rattles send out the "distressed minnow" signal loud and clear for all to hear. Seasoned anglers know that sometimes it takes a slight exaggeration of the lure's unique baitfish-in-distress behavior to get the undivided attention of an otherwise disinterested fish.

Questions about Rapala Jointed Shad Rap 04 Fishing Lures

Item said 04 fishing lures . Do we actually get 4 fishing lures or just one.

Answer: You only get 1. The 04 is the size of the lure.

Answer: No, you just get one lure. I believe the "04" is a size/weight code. But it could be a color code that was put into the description by mistake.

Answer: Just one 04 is the size of the lure

Answer: it's one item only, 04 is the size.

Answer: just one

Answer: Just one.

Answer: You only get the one. I bought this for my Husband and he loves it, if that's any help.

Answer: One.

What color should I get this in?

Answer: Depends I got the silver shad because it is more like the color of the minnows in the lakes I fish but I'd recommend the same strategy for you but with the lakes you fish. If you don't know get the silver it worked for me.

Answer: It´s all up to you. Look around and consider the color water, target, light, time, habits, food, common sense and up to intuition. ¡Good luck!... and if remember, send me a picture of your first beast. ;-)

Answer: I got fire tiger, color is good looking,but bait isn't is not worth ordering

is this lure is good for trolling for king fish

Answer: Probably not, its small and the hooks are tiny. I normally use this for casting and have landed a sizeable tarpon even though the hooks are small. Trolling for kingfish, try this: Rapala X-Rap Jointed Shad 13 - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NXCYQ6/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i07?ie=UTF8&psc=1 or Rapala Saltwater X-Rap (Glass Ghost) - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000EYW70I/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i06?ie=UTF8&psc=1.......... the latter, there's a fisherman where I live in the Caribbean who caught tons on fish on the second one. But the first one is very good, caught one one it.

Does it float?

Answer: Yes. Dives as you retrieve, then floats back to the surface.

what is the weight limit on this thing,the biggest fish u can catch?also can it be used in salt water?..thank you

Answer: sorry I bought it as a gift.

Hello what size of triple hook fits on it?

Answer: Not quite sure but they a pretty small Sorry I couldn't help with the exact size.

What is the size of these lures? I see "JSR04PRT : 04 could the size or the dive depth?

Answer: Swimming depth : 4´ 6´

Answer: Is the size,very small hooks.for small fishes,i lost a snook the last week with this lure,

Answer: The best way to answer your question is to refer you to the rapala web site! Just google rapala! The rapala web site gives all the technical specs on their lures etc... I have used rapala for a long time and have come to know them for their quality products that are durable, good attractors and most importantly catch fish!

Product reviews of Rapala Jointed Shad Rap 04 Fishing Lures

Amazon Customer : Life-like!

Tough to keep ‘em off the line!

Keith Quintana : First cast!!

The first time I cast this into the lake, I had constant hits. The action is good and durability seems okay. Now if it would only hook'em for me!

John : cool

As expected...haven't used it, but expect to catch fish with it.

Thomas Urban : Perhaps it was our fault, but we thought we ...

Perhaps it was our fault, but we thought we were ordering all the Rapala lures in the same size. Our preference was to have all the lures to be the same size as the largest one ordered. I suppose we will have to be more careful if we order some more.

Jorge : Five Stars

perfecto

Mr. Ewing : Bass don't seem to like it. I got the blue bleeding shad one ...

Got this for a small backyard pond maybe 250 yards area. Bass don't seem to like it. I got the blue bleeding shad one and have had no luck. Ive heard great things about rapala products so not sure if I'm using wrong, wrong color, or just ineffective.

Joshua B. Siegel : Looks real, doesn't dive.

Man this thing looks like the real thing! However it doesn't dive as much as I would like it to so that is the reason for -1 star.

Charles Trahan : These lures work.

Caught a huge bass first try.

Rccolaman : Would buy again

I was nervous to use this type of lure since ive never heard good things from local fisherman about them. Boy were they wrong! This thing produced from the first cast. In my first trip out with it it produced both black crappie and large mouth bass with ease. I caught fish with both traditional cast and retrieval and while trolling. Couldn't be happier with my purchase.

H. Beason : Great for Smallies!

The first day I used this jointed Rapala on the Potomac River in Washington, DC, I caught a 14 inch Smallmouth bass. I also caught 1 or 2 smaller ones. It's a great bass lure, and at this size (04) it is great for smallies. I plan on buying a few more in the spring.

Abbas Ahmed : just ok

supposed to come with red hooks, instead it came with black hooks !!

Bat-Orshikh Erdenechuluun : Five Stars

nice one

AreYouSeriously : I call this my magic lure

I have caught bluegill, smallmouth, largemouth, stripers, yellow bass, and just earlier today I pulled in a walleye on this thing. I have used it fishing 7 times so far (about an hour each "time") and have pulled in 6 "keepers" in varying weather conditions and locations. I own over 60 lures and this is the only one I use now. The old guys around where I live are wondering why I am catching fish and they aren't. Buy this lure, just don't use it on my lake because I want to keep it my secret for a while ;)

Amazon Customer : Life-like!

Tough to keep ‘em off the line!

C.R. : So easy a first timer could use it

Just got back from fishing with this (my first time using an artificial lure). On my 5th cast in some murky water I got a HUGE large mouth bass. It was easy to use. The swim motion looks like very real and sudden tugs with this lure makes a lot of clicking noise which attracts the fish.

I think this is a keeper for me (actually coming back here to buy some more colors).

Misael Rehbain : Five Stars

good

W Holder : One of my favorite new lures.

I am relatively new to using this type of lure. I recently moved to a different area, and am trying to change my fishing style to match the new techniques required.

This lure is great for med retreive rates. Too fast and it seems to get too wobbly and fish stop biting. Too slow and it doesnt seem to attract them as well. I have managed to catch some nice bass, a few big ones, and also caught many croppy and other small fish. The smaller fish are due to my fishing areas loaded with them, not that this lure necessarily attracts them best.

Lure sinks quickly, but seems to hover around the 3'-4' mark.

This is a great lure, relatively lightweight though, which impacts my casting until I get it dialed in for a lure of this weight. Performs well, they go after this lure, and once they bite, none have gotten off.

Great lure to add to your box.

Ron : I bought the silver shad color form Gander Mountain and ...

I bought the silver shad color form Gander Mountain and tried it out yesterday. Its cold so the retrieve was slow... caught this lunker. Can't wait to try the "shallow" dive version.

Dennis Murphy : Great for Bass

Caught 4 Bass in 15 minutes on this thing. Excellent action tied with a rapala knot. Was casting on a 5'6" rod on 6# trilene.

robert lindenberger : Four Stars

like it but a little smaller than I thought

Thomas Urban : Perhaps it was our fault, but we thought we ...

Mr. Ewing : Bass don't seem to like it. I got the blue bleeding shad one ...

mariofishing : Four Stars

Nice lure.....

Ron : Works Well, Large Mouth Magnet

Works very well on large mouth bass I've been catching.

Jennifer Shelton : great looking

I got this as a Christmas gift for a tournament bass fisherman and he was very happy with the lure!

keithfoco : My go-to lure for everything. If nobody is catching anything, tie this on and get ready to take them to school.

The best fishing lure made in my opinion. I have caught everything from crappy, bass, bluegill, trout, wiper, walleye and northern pike on a jsr-5. It catches big and small. I have even caught baby bass that are smaller than the lure with this thing. I have also caught a 3 foot long northern pike with it. I have the best luck trolling it here in northern colorado. I used to be a spinner guy until i found a shad rap (regular) and started catching fish like crazy with it. I bought the jsr-4 and jsr-5 after hearing about jointed crankbaits and it took my fishing to a whole new level. I get best results with a medium speed, constant retrieval method or trolling 1.5- 2 mph. Cant say enough about this lure. Worth every penny.

Joshua B. Siegel : Looks real, doesn't dive.

Man this thing looks like the real thing! However it doesn't dive as much as I would like it to so that is the reason for -1 star.

mariofishing : Four Stars

Nice lure.....

Matthew : It works for Walleye and Bass

Good Lure.
Works for all types of fish.
I caught a 11 pound Rainbow Trout with this.
I would recommend this!

William W. Weiler : Five Stars

Great action!

Mike Mitchell : Too small

Not what I expected,color good,just too small, hooks are very small also, not much movement when you pull through water

Cindy Kessler : Very nice

Glad to find these

Naseer Bin Saeed : Five Stars
