2016 Rapala Bassmaster Classic Release...
Anyone have any idea what will be released. There seems to be a lot of teaser trailers out there for something brand new but no hint at what type of bait it is. Thanks for any/all responses!
Re: 2016 Rapala Bassmaster Classic Release...
Looks cool got to see one recently. Shadow Rap but a little shorter and belly to back it's taller. Sort of like a new age "shad rap" that will work like a jerk bait....my take on it anyway.

Awesome! Shallow or deep runner? Balsa or plastic? Hopefully the colors will be nice and the price will be reasonable.
Re: 2016 Rapala Bassmaster Classic Release...
It's called the Shadow Rap Shad, MTBF described it perfectly. The SR Shad slowly floats with a nose up attitude compared to slowly sinking with a nose down attitude which is what the Shadow Rap does. It is a jerkbait, and it's made of plastic like the Shadow Raps are. Can't wait to fish them

I am hoping that some of the e-tailers will do a classic sale. Anyone heard anything yet about upcoming sales? Was bummed I didn't see any for presidents day weekend.

I have a $200 order coming but still holding out hope I can save a couple bucks. If nothing for the classic I'll probably just go ahead with it.

That shadow rap shad should be a killer in deeper clear water rivers for smallmouths. The megabass vision slow risers have always been good but I'm looking forward to this profile.
Re: 2016 Rapala Bassmaster Classic Release...
Nice! I am a big fan of the Shadow Rap, this will be a much welcomed new weapon in my arsenal.
Re: 2016 Rapala Bassmaster Classic Release...
Picked up a shallow and a deep shadow rap shad at a show today, hadn't seen anything about the size. They are a #9, not a whole lot bigger than the shadow rap. As stated earlier they are slow rising instead of slow sinking.
There is also new colors for the shadow rap

I think the fact it is a slow riser may make it good in warm water as well. I really like the head up posture on the rise, it is different than other types of slow risers like that, I'll give it a shot.Chode wrote:so is this gonna be a cold weather lure like the shad rap?

The first two I picked up to try out are a new color, "Gone", I got a regular and a deep version and I'll see how it is before getting more.Mothra wrote:Looks like I'll pick some up. Really like some of the new colors
