Rapala Jointed Shad Rap 07 Lure - Bleeding Olive Flash, 2.75-Inch

Overview

The Rapala JSR07BOF Jointed Shad Rap 07 in Bleeding Olive Flash is a lightweight, durable lure designed to emulate the swift, erratic motion of a wounded baitfish. Its wide swimming action, paired with a loud rhythmic rattle, helps it stand out in both clear and lightly stained waters. Right out of the box, it’s tuned and tested to swim with natural alignment, reducing guesswork when you’re on the water.

At the heart of this lure is a practical suspending behavior. When you pause your retrieve, the lure slows and holds, mimicking a resting baitfish and inviting a strike from following fish. The quick diving lip design ensures depth control on a steady retrieve, while the distressed minnow signal travels loud and clear through the water, increasing its presence amid competing silhouettes.
