New Repala's Shadow Raps

[IFF]

Did you find room in your tackle box for the "Bud" color ?   Guess I will have to try one seeings they named one after me

[NJChris]

For a second I thought you meant a red/white color combo like Budweiser......
In all seriousness, I haven't brought any shadow raps yet but I've been wondering if people have been having success using them. I'll probably pick up one or two next week when I start open water fishing.

I have gotten one in each color available...Deep and shallow diving...Haven't used them yet. Hopefully I will get to use them Sunday....I will report back....

Looking at the river cam.....Not going to happen this weekend... Maybe next weekend

It sounds like a cool idea and it sounds like it has a killer action!

I'm hoping so. I've gotten quite a few different looking/action lures for the open water season....Hopefully I'll get to try them out THIS weekend.....

I'm gonna try mine Friday. I'm a big jerk bait fan and the 180 degree twitch and slow sink has my attention. Cold water here I come!

they look nice...the livingstons are nice too but expensive...I prefer to crank or throw chatterbaits early on...jerkbait fishing is not my favorite...I purchased a few underspins for the coldwater this spring...I love how casey Ashley paired it up with the zoom fluke junior

Same here. I just hope the 180 degree turn doesn't cause the line and hooks to get tangled.

I fish emerging milfoil beds quite a bit.  In theory this lure should produce fish, especially on sunny days when the fish are silhouetting their prey.  I will certainly add one to my fishing box.

I tried mine on Easter in a small clear pond, just to watch it. I couldn't get it to turn 180, but I was fishing from the bank. I did like everything else about it though. Casts real good for a 3/8 oz bait. I'm sure it will produce. First bass tournament of the year next week, so we'll see then.

From using other jerk baits on a stiff rod, the right twitch, and the right amount of slack after the twitch.  It's not a true 180, maybe more like 120-150.  Well as long as it's more than 90, it basically accomplishes the effect needed.

[NJChris]

Finally found enough open water to play with the shadow raps today. They cast really good, and it "feels right" in my opinion. It is a little tricky to get them to full on turn 180 degrees, but I got it to do so sometimes. Generally about 120-150 degrees was what I was getting it do, like the last guy said. Didn't catch any today on the shadow raps, but I only got one dink on a jig so it was tough fishing to say the least. The only thing I noticed is that on bad casts you can get the middle treble to catch the other ones (like every other lure with three trebles) so I'll probably downsize that one a size since I rarely ever catch anything on the middle hook anyway. I think in a week or two the fishing should kick off good so I'll report back if I can get anything to hit on the shadow raps.

When I saw "bud" colors I was thinking a nice emerald green with a shimmering crystaline sheen appearance with splashes of yellows and reds
