I truly wish Rapala would make this lure in a larger size, possibly 16 or 18. For it's size, it is very light, making it very difficult for me to cast it on my Shimano Caenan. Don't expect to cast a mile like the lures with weight transfers.Ĭomments: This isn't a review, but, it is a complaint about this lure. Just put it in the tackle box on those windy days because it will not cast well. Bypass this purchase and stick to the original floater.Ĭomments: bill broke off within the first couple of outings.Ĭomments: It does have that erratic swimming action to it. I have tried throwing it on different lines, finding no luck. The bill makes it almost impossible to cast in all conditions. Most important, this is the worse casting lure on the market. In order to achieve that evasive swimming action you have to reel at a high speed. Couldn't expect more from Rapala! Pick some upĬomments: This is a great concept, terrible practice.

(Note: recently 2 other lures have suffered the same fate), the wire held at the snap swivel and all three fish were netted. My first Scatter rap pulled in 4 Large lakers before a 26"er tore the Hookwire from the belly of the lure. I use it mainly FLATLINE trolling for springtime Lake trout and Landlocked Salmon (also caught a Lake trout off a down rigger at 90ft on my first attempt).The fish love it! During the past two years since I began using the scatter rap, it has out performed other lures about 8 to 1. Emails to Rapala have gone unanswered.Ĭomments: This Lure is a fish magnet! It is best used as a trolling bait. As long as they stay together, these are walleye killers. At $9 per lure, this can get very expensive. Observing it escape while darting side-to-side is one thing, but feeling a shad bait vibrate the rod tip makes it truly unique. This is open water trolling and the bills just "disappear". 12.49 SAVE UP TO 50 ON YOUR ONLINE ORDER TODAY Apply for an Explorewards Credit Card Overview Rapala Scatter Rap Shad Round Bill Medium Diving Crankbait - The ultimate baitfish shape just got a bad attitude.
